You’re confusing “designed” with “expected outcome”. Obviously Apple didn’t design the iPad to be pre-bent, and presumably they’re not thrilled about this. But that doesn’t mean this isn’t an expected outcome of the manufacturing process. It’s not a desired outcome, but it’s one that I guess Apple decided was acceptable in order to meet the other goals they had for the process.
