iPhone Air Passes Bend Tests,โค Addressingโ Durability Concerns
Cupertino,โข CA – September 19, 2025 – Concerns about the durability of Apple’s newly released iPhone Air, specifically regarding potential bending due to its ultra-slim profile, appear to be unfounded, according to โขrecentโข testing. A viral TikTok โvideo and subsequent machine tests demonstrate the device’s surprising resilience.
Users initially voiced worries about a repeatโฃ of the “Bendgate” issue that plagued the iPhone 6. However, aโ clip posted by TikTok user @marcuscupello shows a person attemptingโค toโข bend the iPhone Air by applying force at the edge of a table and even slamming the phone’s bottom end – all without causing damage.
Further bolstering confidence in the Air’s buildโ quality, Chinese YouTuber Mediastorm conducted a machine-bend test comparing โคthe iPhone Air to the iPhone 6. The machine appliedโ 60.1 Kgf of pressure to the center of the iPhone Air, and it remained intact. In contrast, the iPhone 6 visibly deformed under a similar force of 60.2kgf.
Apple utilized aโฃ titanium frame – the same material found in the iPhone 16 Pro models – and Ceramic Shieldโ 2โข protection for โขboth the front and back of the iPhone Air. Apple’s own durability tests indicate the device can withstand 58kg of pressure at its center. The iPhone Air also boasts an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The iPhone Air is available in India starting at Rs 1,19,900 for theโฃ 256GB model,โ with theโฃ 512GB version priced at Rs 1,39,900 and the 1TB variant at Rs 1,59,900.
