A decade-plus after the iPhone 6 Plus ‘Bendgate’ controversy, Apple execs say the new iPhone ‘exceeds our internal metrics for bend strength’ and shouldn’t change shape under pressure.
Worried about bending the iPhone Air? Apple says the super-slim device is tougher than it looks.
Apple SVPs Greg Joswiak and John Ternus sat down with Tom’s Guide and TechRadar to talk about the new iPhone 17 lineup, including the Air’s durability. “The titanium here, on such a thin product, was key,” Joswiak says before tossing the editors an iPhone Air and challenging them to bend it with their bare hands. At most, the phone slightly bends before straightening back.
The device measures 0.22 inches thick, slightly less than the 0.
