I am an ardent Apple fan, to the extent of sometimes defending them in public or private forums. This is maybe the most bone-headed, indefensible response I've ever seen from them. I get that these are really large, thin devices. I get that they are totally different than the iPad 2 someone might wrap in a case and give to a kid. But saying it is a feature, not a bug, is ridiculous. Their response has immediately made this twice as bad from a PR perspective. Unbelievable.

Where did they say “it’s a feature”?

  "it's not a bug, it's a feature" is sort of a phrase/meme referring to bugs that have been tried to not like a bug by PR departments. In this case, we see that this is a bug (iPads are supposed to be flat), but Apple claims "it's normal" to sell their device: classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature" attitude.
