People will do anything for views.

Speaking of which, please make a video where you Quad SLI Titan Zs AND 295s in the same rig, and then PM me the link so I can make an article about it here. 

 

Cause I guess anything goes for "tech news" these days.

I dislike apple and all, but this is retarded. It doesn't go in your pocket. It's large and this as the phone. OF COURSE IT FUCKING BENDS. 

[RSguideMaker]

I wish Apple would stop cheaping out on materials. It's obvious they've taken the cheap option or else the device wouldn't bend that much. I understand that companies need to make a profit, but it seems their profit margin is too great for any thought to be put into the materials.

did they? did they use some nasty cheap plastic instead of a metal backing plate?

Wow! Now I know how to get much attention - just bend something like an Apple product.

Well I own a Mercedes E 350 Coupé with 300hp - so my test will be the iPad Air 2 vs. Mercedes.

Just put the iPad in a "secure" position, link it to my coupling device and maybe it will bend - stupid iPad; bad quality.

[OlekKing]

Topkek...so many people sticking up for Apple...

Doesn't matter how you put it, if such an expensive device is so easily destroyed with your bare hands then it's a serious flaw.

 

I couldn't care less as i have no desire to go back to Apples shitty closed off, annoying ecosystem after having used an iPhone 4s and iPad Mini for around 12 months. Transferring any type of file, especially media, from my PC is the biggest chore ever and i can't plug them in someone else's computer and transfer stuff without erasing everything.

 

Only tablet that interests me right now is the SHIELD tablet from Nvidia.

[LukeTim]

Wow.

I'm super surprised about how many people on Youtube seem to only just be finding out that if you apply enough pressure to any object it will bend and/or snap.

[zanduh]

This has Samsung Shill plastered all over it. 

[Heisenbleurgh]

One of these bend tests is gonna end with a battery leak or some really fucked up problem.

[StareX]

Sigh...

IF YOU BEND A DEVICE REALLY HARD, IT WILL BEND NO MATTER WHAT.

But this?! IS NOT NATURAL!!!

Stop hating on Apple and being ignorant. You people piss me off.

[LukaP]

I'm slowly losing faith that the mods even care about this section and how clean it stays. 

 

You, several others, even I; we care about good content here and now just easy shit posts. Its frustrating. 

i feel you so much... the news section is getting just hammered with either badly written posts/articles or stuff that doesnt even belong here (the typewriter springs to mind)

[kokobash13]

Man. Im getting tired of this and I hope the batteries should just explode in their faces for being bunch of tards

[ComradeHX]

That's actually okay.

You won't find kids stupid enough to try to fit it in pocket of tight pants.

The shit thread posts and then the rampant trolls who off topic for the sake of off topic.

I support debate with everything. I'm fair game. I might not engage, but if I have some understanding and a preference I will debate with you.

Some people here like to be contrarian for the sake of likes and post counts and feeling popular by engaging in reddit level circle jerking. If people want that so bad, go back to reddit and whack each other off there. Don't bring pedantry here.

I don't actually mind if the thread post is shit so long as the news article is good, relevant and the OP tried. I don't expect broadsheet quality publications however If the linked article is just clickbait, rumor,  founded on un-qualifiable statistics or a single you tube video etc then there is just no need.

 

If every thread is going to suffer troll posts because the OP's article is about AMD or Apple etc then can we at least make sure its new news and not something a school kid could have predicted.

[Darkman]

Worlds largest flip phone..

All honesty, Apple, build quality is much more important than how damn thin the device is.. Get your shit together.

I agree. I might be new and haven't seen the forum in its better days, but I still don't mind reading it. I'd rather have lots of articles / posts to choose from instead of just a few that could miss some news that some users might not consider strictly tech news.

If anything I find the whining more annoying than the odd bad post here or there.

[PerfectTemplar]

I think that is ridiculous, I can break a galaxy note if I put that much pressure on it. I don't own any apple products but I know that if you put that much force into any thin device it will break. That wasn't bending, that was snapping.

[daemonowner]

Saying that it is acceptable for an expensive device to be fragile because it is expensive is retarded. You expect higher quality with increased price. How the fuck is that hard to understand. I don't want to spend a grand on a tablet or phone only to drop it once accidentally and have it be seriously damaged or destroyed. It's a tablet. No, you aren't supposed to put it in your pocket. Who cares. You're supposed to carry it around, and people make mistakes. Fact of life. It will be dropped. The solution is to either to have excellent customer service and replace loads of them, or design the fucking things to not break in the first place.

[PopReference]

I am in a much better place nowing that that the iPad can bend, thank you.

Also, thread is hilarious.

[Victorious Secret]

I need to know what tablet owners are actually doing with their tablets that requires them to forcibly try to bend them.

You idiots best hope your batteries don't explode because of your stupidity.

[Egosheep]

Well of course it bends, honestly you can't make something THAT thin and sleek, without it being able to bend!

 

A lot of the time I don't get the internet and it's horrible obsessions!

 

Why don't we look at this from another angle, and actually give Apple some credit here?

 

That iPad Air 2 (even though I'll never buy one) is so thin and light it's amazing!

 

For the average user (and these are probably the target), this is an amazing product, and that's all there is to it.

 

NOW STOP BENDING THINGS!
