1.) Yes. You can do that via the Google Drive app.

2. Pages by Apple can do that and give you the option to save it locally, Share it via apps like mail or anything.. or just save to your Google Drive via the Google Drive app.

Google Word can do that but it saves docx to your Google Drive.

Tons more

So anyone encountered any bent ipad pro yet so far? After weeks or months of using..?

Nope. Been using the iPad with the smart folio case only

That's great! Cos I find the latest iPad pro is faster than any laptop in the market now. Some more so freaking light.

Only set backs are the accessories are so expensive.

Anyway I will be getting one next week.

Should head down to Apple store or buy at Apple store online?

For those who connect their ipad pro via hdmi to their monitor, do you get black borders at the side of the screen?

I think with the smart folio or any decent / tough cases, it'd be tougher to get bent..

Smart folio isn’t a tough case. As thin as cardboard.

I really think unless you bend it like those idiots on YouTube it shouldn't bend that easily especially when the set on hand doesn't have any issues.

My 10.5” Pro does not suffer from this bending issue. Though 0.2mm thicker, this difference in thickness will be sufficient to prevent it from this kind of bending? Else not sure if it’s just the manufacturing process contributing to this issue.

Thickness of the material aside, I believe the rigidity is dependant on the way they design the structure. This is not the first time this bendgate happened, ie, starting with iPhone 6 Plus. Apple later revised the design internally to strengthen the structure. This is also a result of Apple's obsession with making their products ever thinner.

The "idiots" that you mentioned pointed out a serious flaw. While we won't purposely bend it since it cost so much, you may rest on it if it's in your bag. The last thing you want is to bend it. And the critical point mentioned is that it bends very easily, which I don't hear often.

Am just worried if I need it to be placed inside my bag-pack, travelling with it in a long period of time and it got bent naturally... Of course not going to do it on purpose etc..

Those iPads with Touch ID or home button, won’t bend. Only the newer design will bend.

Worth getting the Ipad pro across the causeway?

Anyone bought from malaysia?

 

[longdi]

Does anyone having burn mark on you Apple Pencil, at the magnetic charging port?
Mine is pretty bad. Wonder is it a “feature” or is it a defect.

Don’t know how to post a pic here....

 

[melankholy]

After watching all the videos and comments, getting pretty worried about putting the iPad in my bag . Which is insane cause I bought it to bring around...

Any good apps to intro?

I bought Luma fusion for video editing

What about photo editing which app is the best besides Adobe CC?

 

[ALacs]

anyone knows where to get a solid ipad pro 11" case like otterbox depender yet? checked the stores locally, no stock yet and the rest of the cases offer quite basic protection.

True also. Perhaps the frame itself isn’t so sturdy. Even though Apple’s target is to make the new iPad Pros as thin and light as possible, being so costly also shouldn’t be compromising the structure of it.

The science of it is the larger the surface area and also the thinner it is, bending is more susceptible, talking about similar materials. Apple stating that it’s normal to be slightly bent right out the box due to bonding process to me is not acceptable. If I paid over $1k for the device, I expected it to be in good condition aesthetically as well and not with flaws which you can obviously see, especially when it’s brand new.
