Apple released two different tablets with 11-inch and 13-inch screens this year. 24 Channels. At 5.3 millimeters thick, the 11-inch iPad Pro is actually thicker than the 13-inch version, making it harder to bend. And indeed, when we look ahead, The smaller version turned out to be more difficult to bend than the large-screen version.

YouTuber JerryRigEverything posted two separate videos. In the first, it tests the power of the M4 iPad Pro with a 13-inch screen, and in the second, it tests the power of an 11-inch Apple tablet.

scratches

It is worth noting that his tests differ in many respects. But one of the most important was this: Checking the screen’s resistance to scratches. Such tests are carried out with the help of special tools of different hardness. With each of them you can determine the degree of protection by scratching the screen.

It turns out that the difference between both versions is quite significant. If on the more expensive version the first noticeable scratches appeared at level 6, then the cheaper version was already damaged at level four. At the same time, at the third hardness level, sand-like marks appeared, which were then easily wiped off with the cleaning cloth that came with the devices. The same effect was observed when the flash scratched the screen with a key, a screw, an iPhone and a coin. But the clerical knife turned out to be stronger.

In both versions, the side faces and back cover were easily scratched by the metal plate and blade.

Bending

Later there were attempts to bend it.

• While the M4 iPad Pro with a 13-inch screen initially did not yield to pressure, the channel writer tried to break the device in the horizontal position of the tablet. But when you put it upright, the case and glass were broken at the base and the screen had cracks all over it.
• In the 11-inch version, the situation was the same in the horizontal position, but the situation was the same with the vertical tablet. It broke only on the second try and with much greater force..

Solution

So it turns out that the smaller version is stronger in terms of case, but its glass on the screen is more prone to scratches. Considering that tablets are not pocketable and usually have cases, this is unlikely to be a big problem for users.
