There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the new and incredibly thin iPad Pro from Apple. The burning question on everyone’s mind seems to be whether this sleek device can withstand the test of time or if it will snap in half at the slightest touch. JerryRigEverything, a popular YouTube channel known for destroying gadgets in the name of durability testing, recently put the iPad Pro to the ultimate test.
In a recent 11-minute video, JerryRigEverything’s host Zack Nelson dives deep into the new iPad Pro, conducting various tests to determine its durability. From examining the new OLED screen at microscopic levels to prying apart the pieces of the Magic Keyboard, the video is a rollercoaster of emotions. As with all of JerryRigEverything’s videos, it is both captivating and painful to watch as a beautiful piece of engineering is put through the wringer.
Despite some aggressive bending and twisting, the iPad Pro surprisingly holds up well in the test. The device’s central spine provides enough structural support for horizontal bends, but vertical bends prove to be its weak spot. The iPad Pro cracks at the charging port, indicating that this area is the main vulnerability of the device. However, overall, the iPad Pro seems to be quite resilient and should hold up well under normal usage conditions.
Comparisons to Previous Models
Previous models of the iPad Pro have not fared as well in JerryRigEverything’s tests. The first-generation iPad Pro performed poorly in durability tests, while even the last model bent quite easily. However, the latest iteration of the iPad Pro is a significant improvement in terms of durability. While it is not indestructible, it is clear that Apple has made strides in making the device more sturdy and resilient.
Other creators have also tested the new iPad Pro and have found similar results in terms of durability. The charging port seems to be a common weak point in the device, but overall, it holds up better than previous models. Most testers are impressed by the build quality of the iPad Pro and have commended Apple for making a device that is both thin and durable.
Final Thoughts
The new iPad Pro seems to be a step in the right direction in terms of durability. While no device is completely immune to damage, the latest model from Apple appears to be more resilient than its predecessors. So, for all the new iPad Pro owners out there, rest assured that your device should be able to withstand the rigors of daily use without any major issues.
