In a bid to shut the controversy around the bent 2018 iPad Pro, Apple has published a support page detailing its manufacturing process. The page is titled "iPad Pro unibody enclosure design" and starts off by saying that Apple's latest tablet is "strong, light, and durable".
Apple noted that the new design has flat edges "instead of the curved edges found on previous-generation iPad models". The new iPad's flat edges and antenna line might make slight bends more visible, and the slight bends are a result of the iPad Pro's manufacturing and cooling process.
The company also seems to suggest that so long as any "subtle deviations in flatness" are not perceptible during normal scenarios -- meaning when you're facing the iPad head on and actually using it -- they should not be a concern to customers, the report noted.
