iPad air is bent, i have no idea how.....

You are the one who brought up the possibility of heat being the cause. How did it happen? You sat on it. Or your mother sat on it. Or the dog sat on it. Or someone else did, or you or someone else did something else that exerted enough force to bend it. That's how it happened. If you drive your car into a telephone pole, it will be deformed from the impact. Same principle. The car will not simply deform itself.

Has your caps lock key broken as well now?

You are not looking for genuine help. You want someone to agree with your theory of what happened, you want somebody to validate your pre-determined idea of what happened. Whether you think nothing occurred to bend it, simple physical reality says you must be wrong.

BTW, overheated batteries usually split the device open at the seam between metal case and screen, or cause the back of the case to bulge out from level. They don't just warp the entire device in a nice shallow u-bend that clearly looks like excessive force applied to the middle or center of the device while it was sitting on a soft, giving surface like your bed or sofa.

stop with the snarky comments please i am looking for genuine help, or other peoples personal experience not a bunch of people who have nothing better to do than sit on an apple support forum al day, attempting to pick a fight with a stranger.

Take it to Apple, nobody here can replace it.

If Apple will not replace this magically bent iPad you have reached the end of the replacement road.

Hi I had the iPad Air 2 only kept it for 2 days the sound viberation on speakers Static in fingers when typing . I think its just to Flimsy i returned fora full refund I now have iPad Air 1 32G no problems If i were you i would buy an iPad Air 1 Cheers Brian

That's it. I quit. You're never going to accept responsibility for anything you do. There is no point in trying to explain it any further.

i just want to see peoples personal experiences not the same crap

thanks

Glad that you got it finally.

The only logical way I can think of why the iPad would bend like this would be because of a bloated battery. The way these devices are made, there is virtually zero air space within the device. The iPad Air and iPad Air 2 are prime examples of this. Batteries bloat when there's a fault within them. If there's nowhere for the bloated battery to expand to, it will push against whatever is in it's way and either bend it or split it apart. That's a fact and I've had two iPhone 4's batteries bloat, causing most of backglass to lift away from the metal frame surrounding the device. They looked like I had taken a screwdriver to them and tried to pry the back off. Both of the iPhones were replaced as being defective due to bloated batteries.

With the virtually zero air space within today's iPads, what would exactly happen if the battery were to bloat? I would assume the device would split apart...would it bend as yours did? It's possible.

Fact is that Apple didn't even open the device to check for any interior damage such as battery bloating and simply told you that you bent it somehow. I would believe Apple more if they would've opened the device and verified the condition of the battery and if there were any other logical reason why the device would bend.

Good luck trying to get some resolve.
