According to some users, the iPad Pro had developed a small curvature or a bent without any abuse or external force application. Similarly, some users complained that their iPad was bent right out of the retail packaging. According to The Verge, the bending issue is more persistent with the LTE model of the iPad Pro.

According to Apple, bending is a side effect of the iPad's manufacturing process, and it will not worsen over the time. The company also confirms that the performance of the iPad Pro will not be affected in any way and having a slight curvature is not a defect.

If you have a bent iPad what should you do?

Usually, users can return the product (within 14 days) to get a full refund. However, according to some scenarios, some stores are considering this (bending) as accidental damage and the stores are only replacing for those who have purchased AppleCare+.

As the company has confirmed the iPad Pro-bending issue is not related to the structural integrity of the device, you can use the iPad without worrying about the small abnormality in the structure.
