Apple's new iPhone Air, at just 5.6mm thick, is touted as the thinnest and most durable iPhone yet. Apple's own tests show it withstands 130 pounds of pressure without bending, thanks to its titanium frame, a significant upgrade from the aluminum iPhone 6. While independent testing is pending, initial results suggest improved bend resistance. Additional Apple-provided videos demonstrate enhanced scratch resistance on the iPhone 17's Ceramic Shield 2 and drop resistance on the iPhone 17 Pro.
