Isn't a really thin piece of aluminum going to be stupid fragile and bend really easily? Its like $1500, why isn't it titanium instead?

What is the point of making tech weaker?

Hopefully it's lighter. The current iPad Pro is too heavy.
>Hopefully it's lighter. The current iPad Pro is too heavy.
if 0.25lbs is noticeable to you then thats really really sad
Tablets aren't laptops, frickface. Until they're closer to the weight of a magazine they're too heavy.
>basedbot please open my latte for me, my hands are too frail
holy frick you can't.be real
0.25 lb is noticeable to chronically wageslaved wagecuck goyBlack person peasant mollusk dehumanized serf golems as they all have RSI from having flipped a gorillion burgers for Shlomo and Moishe Gershon and thus have only 1% of the strength a human of the same age ought to have had.
it turns out lighter things are easier to hold for longer durations. instead of using your neurons to sperg out, you could consider how a small change in a device used by millions of people could propagate into a measurable difference.
but the ostensibly logic-focused IQfy weirdly loves histrionic explosions of emotion more
its already light you fricking homosexual
The 11 inch ipad is light af though. My steam deck feels more akward to use.
have you ever used a laptop before?
>steam deck
>he gaymes
ugh stop
If you have a degree you should know that answer
Critical race theory.
What degree has led you to believe that merely getting a degree would let you know why tech companies make the decisions that they do?
Gender studies
Because they're here to make money, not to do what's best for the user. And your only purpose is to give them money, not to be happy.
The Galaxy Tab S9 is the same thinness, but it barely bends even though it's still Aluminium.
Time will tell if Apple has increased the strength of the new Pros or not.
>but it barely bends even though it's still Aluminium.
>barely bends
it shouldnt bend AT ALL you moron jesus fricking christ
running out of things to complain about?
god, poors are so annoying.
if things are made properly, user drops 40€ phone, el cheapo case cracks, replacement cost like 15€, phone goes on, vs elite phone that costs 1200€ to buy and has milled alu case, user drops, minor dent but life goes on
Normies are obsessed with the appearance of consumer tech and more thin = more better. Same with the no bezel obsession. Who cares if functionality, durability and battery life suffers, we want our devices to look like CGI tech in a Hollywood movie. The future is like, floating transparent glowing screens man! You know a device is more better and more future because it looks more like the things in Iron Man, obviously.
Never mind that small shitty batteries and fragile devices also mean you'll have to buy another one when it breaks. We dont talk about that.
Normies will buy whatever they are told to buy. They have no opinions of their own.
if I had unlimited money Id probably own one of every relevant device
which tbh is a lot more nuanced than the average normie so maybe youre righ
It's probably to balance better on the new keyboard, that has a much steeper angle.
They want it thinner and lighter because most people still hold the device to use it. Aluminum is lighter than titanium with a higher strength-to-weight ratio.
Weight is about how long you are carrying something for. Ipad Pro appears positioned for video camera work and things like that which suggests people need to be able to carry it steadily for the length of shots and whatnot. Even a quarter pound will make a difference there.
New ipad looks to me like it's just a giant iphone.
stop being anorexic, 1/4lbs is less than an average human changes in weight throughout the day. frick off shill
You're worried about the frame when both sides of the fricking thing are glass and will shatter if you even breathe on it funny. Good job.
Marketing departments are about gaslighting consumers into taking inferior products for inane reasons. Look at what consumers gave up for a phone that's 3mm thinner
>3.5 jack
>removable battery
>durability
>battery life
>repair ability
All gone and normalgays jump for joy because their new phone is 2mm thinner than the poor people who are still using the "old" version.
That said normalgays only care about two things
>phone as a status symbol
>camera's ability to make them look less fat and ugly
Lemme guess, you don't own a single tablet do you?
You're on IQfy, who here would want to own a normie cuck device anyway?
the Tab S9 Ultra was 5,5mm and they took it personally. no there's no other reason, cannot wait for the house fires.
They want it to feel premium so they make it heavy
But they need it to be fragile so they reduce its thickness
Not only the material but also the structure of something determines it's durability/fragility. picrel
but where does the battery go if its all structural on the inside?
Apple wants it to break easily so more will buy a new product sooner.
Thinness is an artificial metric that corporations use to seduce normalgays in lieu of providing genuine innovation. By-and-large, there is no benefit to prioritizing thinness of electronics in the current age, and there hasn't been for decades.
My number one issue with Apple is that whenever they crush the competition at miniaturizing their hardware they never add a larger battery and instead make the fricking thing thinner.
Every single fricking time they make a remotely interesting product they will instantly gimp it like that, it's so fricking moronic.
maybe the EU will stop them and save us, kek
it's crazy how cucked usa is and need to have eu save them. eu has its own problems but at least there's some kind of lid on companies.
Why isn't it glass front to back with curved edges? I don't want to hold a sharped edge rectangle with a matte finish alloy back. Ew.
What makes you think titanium wouldn't bend? It's not magic. They could use lightweight materials with extremely high stiffness like carbon fiber, beryllium, or vitralloy, but those are expensive and more expensive again to manufacture. Why would they do that when they can sell you something cheap for the same price and then sell it to you again next year?
so you consoom more
