iPad models do not spontaneously “bend” or otherwise deform - unless they are exposed to environmental conditions significantly beyond their design limits - or the device has experienced mechanical trauma, such as being sat upon or similar.


If you suspect that your iPad has suffered a technical failure, such as a swelling battery, you would be best advised to seek assistance from from Apple Support.
