This was an issue because the devices started bending themselves inside backpacks while previous models didn't exhibit that kind of behavior.

    sa11oum, 18 Jan 2022if they "putted strong metal" it would weigh 5lbs.That's not true and misleading. Same as they did with iPhone 6s after iPhone 6 being reported to be easily bent. Or even for example Surface pro x which is thin and light, but still strong.

          S Yu, 16 Jan 2022Durability? The recent iPP's? Ha! Ha! Ha!What's funny is that people expect to sit down on a slab of glass and aluminum that's 6mm thick and not have it bend. Go back to physics elementary.

But even a stronger Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 can result in a shattered screen when bent and rendered unusable, although not as catastrophic as an iPad Pro.

                                Why are Apple so hesitant, working on some prototype that is going end up as a failure.

                                  The glass back could have been a chance to reduce bendability though

                                      man, in the last couple of years gsmarena comment sections became a sh*t show.
                                      this will be no different.
