What is a good way to tell if my iPad is bent? I feel like when i look at it, my eyes are playing tricks on me.
iPad Pro, iOS 12
Hi longhaoli,
Try gently putting it on a flat surface and see if it rocks, even a little bit. Try to top surface, and then the bottom. You'll probably find that there's no bend. Let us know!

There's a slight curve above that tiny hole but I'm not sure if that's from your camera lens distortion. If it really curves, it's a minor imperfection. Take it back to the store. They may replace it free of charge.
ShagCA didn't mean you had it face up, camera down. It too looks to me like the close up you took is slightly distorted by the camera lens you took the photo with. Lens distortion is quite common.
Even if there is the very slightest of bend, Apple has already publicly said it's not something to be concerned about. If you are however, schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and show it to them. I wouldn't worry based on the photo and the fact you can't even decide if you see any bend with your own eyes with any certainty.
Take a snapshot of the area you think has a problem. Post it for us to see.
There really shouldn't be any curve. Can you describe a little better? Which side? Does you iPad have cellular capability? If so, maybe it's the port for the SIM card?
I agree with the others. I think your iPad is ok, but take it to Apple if you want to make sure.
Yeah so there no large bend, but I see this curve near the hole in the middle of one of the sides. Is that normal?
I think there is a slight bend?
It isn’t the camera as this is screen face down
Specifications: iPad Pro 2018 11inch, WiFi only
The bend that I think is there is on the left side when it is vertical with the camera and sensors on top.
On the left side, there is that little hole, a microphone I think. When you put the screen down, you can sort of push it down while you can't on any other side. I'll post a photo right after.

I didn't say the hole was the camera. I said the photo appears curved due to camera lens distortion (whatever camera you used to take the snapshot). I've seen quite a few photos where there's a slight curvature along the edges due to lens distortion.
Anyway that looks really minor. If it's really curved and it bothers you, take it to Apple store to get an opinion.
iPad Pro 2018 bend?
