Following the launch of the iPad Pro with M4 chip, all kinds of tests did not wait. From Geekbench scores to typical reviews evaluating its performance relative to previous generations and the competition, Now it’s time to test how durable you can be. One factor in terms of features is its very thin body, reaching 5.1 mm thick on the 13-inch model. Apparently it’s just as durable as the previous generation iPad Pro M2.

Whether powered by natural force or through a machine, iPad Pro withstood all the tests

Two of the YouTubers who are known to perform different durability tests on devices had the new iPad Pro with M4 chip in their hands.. One of them, JerryRigEverything, applied natural force with his hands while bending the iPad. MobileReviews used a force meter, as well as putting on weights in the gym to increase the level of difficulty. The surprise was With manual effort, iPad Pro resisted and kept its shape. He underlined that the chassis is well put together “as if protected by some kind of black magic”.

In the next test forced bending over from behind, The glass did not hold and separated from the screen frame. Interestingly, the panel continued to work as it was able to use iPadOS as if nothing had happened. Everything changed when he applied a vertical force to the device, it completely broke in half.

At the end of the tests, JerryRigEveything took over the task of dismantling the panel and other parts. concluded that it really needed a “steeper column near the USB-C port”. This may guarantee greater durability for such tests.

More than 31 pounds of weight is enough to fold the iPad Pro

MobileReviewsEh took on the following task to prove to higher powers that the iPad Pro is more durable: Place more than 31 pounds of weight above the middle of the device screen. Structural failure was completely obvious**.

Let’s remember this Apple was the subject of controversy in 2019 when it admitted that the case of its iPads had a “slight curvature”.In other words, they stated that this was a “side effect” in terms of production processes. This was seen on the 2018 iPad Pro and was seen in many videos to fold more easily than other iPad models. In their defense, the Cupertinos argued that the curvature did not worsen the iPad’s performance conditions.

Seems like, Years later, Apple learned its lesson and offered a master class in engineering and design By launching an iPad that is already classified as the thinnest product in its history. We just need to see how durable it is over time. Considering what you have today One of the most powerful chips of the modern era It’s about computers and tablets.
