New iPad Air 2 not only bends, it breaks when applied pressure

While the iPhone 6 Plus had bendgate, German YouTube user Marvin Macht tried applying the same test to his new Apple iPad Air 2. The result is far worse compared to the phablet.

The newly-announced iPad Air 2 has an A8X 64-bit processor, a new 8MP f/2.2 camera, and apparently a chassis that easily breaks. Now, we understand that tablets aren’t designed to be bended on purpose (the guy who did it most probably knew about it too) but some of us just wants and most importantly, can afford to do it. So for your viewing pleasure here’s the iPad Air 2 ready for its bend test.

In the video above, the owner of the iPad Air 2 just uses his bare hands to try and apply pressure to the tablet. It doesn’t bend even a little bit but instead, the display shatters and its body folds in half – we bet you cringed just like we did while watching the 1-minute video.

You now know what NOT to do with your iPad Air 2.
