Apple's included special parts inside the iPad Pro to help with stiffness, making it withstand bending better in 'landscape mode', although the screen may crack near the USB-C port when bent in 'portrait mode.'
The 5.1mm thick iPad Pro's performance in the bend test is outstanding, but potential improvements for the next generation could include a new plate to alleviate issues near the USB port.
Bending such a thin device like the iPad Pro may be more for entertainment purposes, as the average user would not carry it in their back pocket.
