The iPhone Air is thin, very thin and that means that it has to bend or break very quickly. But is that really true?
Bending or breaking: This shows the first tests of the iPhone Air
We have to admit: we think the iPhone Air is very beautiful. Especially that he is so thin make it special. The device is only 5.6 mm and weighs 165 grams. You would think that you can easily bend or even break the iPhone Air. Yet the device turns out to be remarkably sturdy.
During an interview with Apple managers Greg Joswiak (marketing) and John Ternus (hardware), it was tested, among other things, how firm the iPhone Air is really. The reviewers of Tom’s Guide were allowed to take an iPhone Air and try to bend with maximum force. Admittedly, the phone bowed a bit, but it didn’t break.
View the piece below in which it is tried to bend the iPhone Air. It starts at 7m20s.
In the past, Apple has had problems with iPhones that could bend. It has been a while ago, but the iPhone 6 was therefore quite discredited. But how did Apple manage that the iPhone Air cannot bend or break?
That is partly due to the frame. That is made of titanium and it is a material that is strong and light. It gives the iPhone Air firmness without too much extra weight. The device also has a pretty good screen and glass protection. Both the front and back are equipped with a Ceramic Shield.
