Next iPad Pro's Extreme Thinness Raises Durability Concerns
-
The next iPad Pro could be just 5mm thick, making it Apple's thinnest iPad yet and extremely bendable.
-
The current 2018 iPad Pro is already prone to bending from being packed tightly or dropped. Making it even thinner raises durability concerns.
-
Rather than focusing solely on thinness, Apple could use the space savings from the OLED display to add more ports, a bigger battery, beefier speakers, or other pro features.
-
Testers and users worry the next iPad Pro will be too fragile for travel and adventure use without ample protection.
-
There are other improvements users would welcome before shaving off a few more millimeters, like waterproofing, better scratch resistance, and faster processing.
