New iPhone Air Durability: Apple Assures Bend Resistance, Experts Await Independent Tests
Apple’s recently unveiled iPhone Air, boasting an ultra-thin 5.6mm profile, is already sparking discussions about its durability. Following past ‘bendgate’ concerns that plagued the iPhone 6, the tech giant is proactively addressing potential vulnerabilities in its thinnest iPhone to date.
In a video provided to Tom’s Guide, Apple demonstrated the iPhone Air’s resilience, showing it withstand 130 pounds of pressure without lasting deformation. This enhanced strength is attributed to its new titanium frame – a significant upgrade from the iPhone 6’s aluminum design. Apple confidently states the iPhone Air ‘exceeds stringent bend strength requirements,’ positioning it as the most durable iPhone ever.
The report also touched upon the durability of the latest iPhone 17 models, highlighting the Ceramic Shield 2 front cover, which promises three times better scratch resistance, and favorable results from simulated drop tests. While Apple’s internal tests present a strong case for enhanced durability across its new lineup, the industry eagerly anticipates independent, third-party evaluations to confirm these claims in real-world scenarios.
