The renowned YouTube channel JerryRigEverything recently subjected Apple's latest iPhone Air to a rigorous durability "destructive test." The findings revealed that, despite being Apple's slimmest model yet, the iPhone Air boasts unprecedented sturdiness, with no signs of the infamous "Bendgate" issue.

During the evaluation, the iPhone Air's new Ceramic Shield 2 screen demonstrated remarkable scratch resistance. It remained unscathed at a Mohs hardness level of 6, with scratches barely visible even at level 7. In the knife test, while the titanium frame did exhibit visible scratches, the noise produced was notably quieter compared to previous aluminum-framed models. The back glass and camera lens remained pristine, with only superficial scratches appearing on the plastic diffuser layer of the flash.

The flame test posed no threat to the phone's coating, leaving it unscathed. In the bending test, although the device experienced slight deformations, these were all reversible, with no significant structural damage observed. When subjected to intense pressure from a mechanical device, reaching up to 216 pounds (approximately 98 kilograms), the screen eventually cracked, and noticeable creases formed on the titanium middle frame. However, the back glass remained intact, and the screen continued to operate normally.
