As the thinnest iPhone in Apple's history, the iPhone Air body is as thin as 5.6 mm and weighs only 165 grams. But it has also caused people to worry about its durability and bending resistance - what should I do if I accidentally break it?
In fact, at the iPhone 17 launch conference, Apple focused on promoting the durability of the iPhone Air. Recently, in an interview with tomsguide, Apple marketing director Greg Joswiak handed the iPhone Air to reporter Mark Spoonauer and asked him to try to break the bend.
Spoonauer used his strength to flex his body, but he only bent his body slightly and failed to break it. Moreover, the body quickly returned to its original state, which was exactly the effect Apple wanted.
According to Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, building a phone that is both thin and durable requires multiple breakthroughs, including advanced materials, ultra-ceramic crystal protection, clever internal structure and efficient Apple chips.
The internal layout of the iPhone Air focuses most of the hardware in the area close to the top, leaving more space below.
It is worth mentioning that the body of the iPhone Air uses a 5-level titanium frame. Apple said the device meets and exceeds its "strict bending testing requirements."
This also makes the iPhone Air the only model that uses a titanium frame, and the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max have returned to the aluminum frame.
