The impossibly thin M4 iPad Pro has bendgate protections built in thanks to this design change, breaking YouTuber hearts everywhere

IPad Pro with M4 at Apple's Battersea headquarters.

Apple might not have entered the foldable phone market just yet, but the company does have an unwanted history of making devices that bend instead.

But buyers of the impossibly thin M4 iPad Pro need not worry about a repeat performance.

When Apple announced the new iPad Pro last week it made quite the big deal of just how thin it is, especially if you go for the larger 13-inch model. At just 5.1mm thin, it's the slimmest device Apple has ever made, which might make you worry about its rigidity.
