iPad Air 2 bends, and if you thought Apple would find some miraculous way to prevent this, then you're wrong because the bend test videos that have surfaced so far clearly reveal the reality. As you can already see, applying a large enough force to a certain point of the tablet allows you to bend its case without even that big of a problem.
iPad Air 2 bends because the tablet is made using the same aluminum for its case, and the ultra-thin profile makes it easy to bend if you apply enough pressure to the middle of Apple's tablet. It was also expected that the new tablet would be susceptible to bending when pressure is applied at the right point, the downside being that the screen is destroyed no matter how Apple's product is bent, so don't try this at home.
If Apple tried its best to prove that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus do not bend, in the case of the iPad Air 2 it will not make similar efforts because bending this product is extremely difficult.
