iPhone Air Survives 215 lbs Force: Most Durable iPhone Ever

When Apple claimed the iPhone Air would be their most durable iPhone ever, many questioned how something so impossibly thin could withstand real-world use. At just 5.6mm thick, Apple tossed an iPhone Air across the room to a reporter so they could attempt to bend it during an interview. Gutsy. The titanium frame gives the phone elasticity, while the arrangement of the internals gives it structural integrity. And independent testing backed it up, showing just how tough this ultra-thin device is in practice. What makes the iPhone Air surprisingly bend-resistant?So how did Apple make a wafer-thin phone that shrugs off a bend test? Smart engineering and premium materials. The device uses a grade 5 titanium frame that Apple says "exceeds" its "stringent bend test requirements." Unlike the infamous iPhone 6 bendgate with aluminum construction, the iPhone Air survived more than 215 lbs of point force before it snapped. The trick is where the brains live. The logic board is partially inside th
