"New toughness evaluations for the iPhone Air: scrutinizing tablet edges, compressing mechanisms, and hammer blows"
In a recent durability test conducted by Chinese YouTuber Mediastorm, as reported by Android Authority, the iPhone Air demonstrated impressive resilience. The iPhone Air, released alongside the iPhone 17 series, showcased a significant improvement in durability compared to the iPhone 6 Plus.
The iPhone Air, with its sleek 5.6mm thickness, is thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge, setting a new standard for smartphone design. This slim profile, however, doesn't compromise on strength. The iPhone Air's frame is constructed from titanium, making it more resistant to bending due to its structural rigidity.
The iPhone Air's durability is largely attributed to its powerful internals. Equipped with the A19 Pro chip, a 6-core CPU, and 5-core GPU, the iPhone Air offers superior performance, particularly for AI applications. With 12 GB of RAM, it outperforms older models that often relied on less powerful chips and less RAM.
The iPhone Air's toughness is further enhanced by its front and back, protected by Ceramic Glass 2. This advanced material increases the device's resistance to pressure.
During the test, the iPhone Air withstood 130 pounds of pressure without any ill effects, while the iPhone 6 Plus bent almost instantly. Even in a TikTok video by Marcus Cupello, the iPhone Air survived being forcefully bent, hit with a hammer, and forced over an edge before the screen eventually gave.
Despite the warm internal hardware, which was noticeable during testing, such as when playing the Asphalt Legends racing game, the reviewer still highly recommends the iPhone Air. However, it is recommended to consider some of the best iPhone Air cases for additional protection.
It's worth noting that this article does not discuss any new facts about the iPhone 17 series, new complaints about iOS 26, or any updates on the issue of a rare camera glitch on the iPhone Air.
The iPhone 6 series, on the other hand, had issues with durability due to being composed of a single piece of aluminum alloy, which is relatively soft. The thin frame around the volume buttons was particularly susceptible to bending when pressure was applied.
In conclusion, the iPhone Air's durability test results are promising, showcasing Apple's commitment to improving the longevity and resilience of its devices. With its powerful internals, advanced materials, and sleek design, the iPhone Air is shaping up to be a formidable contender in the smartphone market.
