Take it from the guy who tried to bend the iPhone air of an Apple executive; Seeing Apple will bend your own ultra-the-de-Delgated phone is a heartbreaking matter.
Hello, I am the technological journalist who looked for an iphone air that threw me (or attributed to me) the Apple Greg Joswiak executive. I learned the thing for what I could and I only achieved a small curve from which the phone recovered quickly. In truth, however, I had already seen the new tests of the new 5.6 mm Apple iPhone alignment and its new iPhone 17 alignment would endure. So, maybe it shouldn’t have been surprised.
When it comes to reliability and durability tests, Apple is not wrong and is not afraid to exceed the limits. He does so that when he falls, kicked, turns, bends, turns or drive through a Haboob, his iPhone will be unharmed.
Shortly after Apple ‘Awe Awe Awe Delwping’ on September 9, in which the company released four new iPhones, the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Airpods Pro 3, Apple took me to the closed doors to show how it tested the iphone air.
It is not surprising that Apple wants to show that you are more than ready to ask questions about a potentially flexible iPhone. The Iphone 6 Bendgate scars are still almost visible (I am sure that psychic wounds persist).
Apple iPhone Guantlet
While Apple passed me through the unique decisions of iPhone’s air construction and design, which include practically all components under the camera plateau. I marveled at the small components (which was not allowed to play) they appeared before me. Much of the high -strength grade 5 titanium body surrounds nothing more than a lithium battery locked in a special metal frame.
Apple showed me videos of a phone that is sprayed with high intensity water from all angles and explained how they also submit it to seawater and even artificial sweat.
To test the strength of its new Ceramic Shield 2 screen, Apple rubs it with a special abrasive tip; Not exactly the car keys, but I got the point.
Apple has a special robot that proves the phone against falls on the screen, corners and back. The goal is to simulate almost any angle of fall, and when the phone failed a test, they would record it, make adjustments and repeat that exact stage of fall again and again.
Big Bles test
Then, Apple gave me what seemed like a small black brick. It was the size of a smartphone. They told me to apply the highest possible curve pressure, while a screen measured the torque. I achieved around 60 pounds. That was fun and good exercise.
Adjacent to the pressure measurement screen was what could only be described as an iPhone torture device. In it there was an iPhone air, balanced, face down on a mount, and two equidistant similar mounts were placed on the back. A technician lit the machine, which proceeded to press the upper mounts in the iPhone air.
I watched with horror how the phone folded in the center, giving way to a pressure measure of 133 pounds. I was riveted and rejected (that poor phone). The coach released the pressure, and when the mounts stopped, the phone returned to a perfectly flat frame. To prove it, they took the air from the machine’s iPhone, and lay perfectly flat on the table.
(The previous video coincides with what I saw in person and Apple provided with this title: “The iphone air exceeds the strict requirements of Apple curve and is not damaged after submitting to an extreme level of strength.”
As Apple told me, the air is more durable than any iPhone that you have created, and now I am agreeing to agree with them.
