As the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever released by Apple, the iPhone Air boasts an astonishingly slender profile of just 5.6mm and weighs a mere 165 grams. This design innovation, however, has raised questions about its durability and resistance to bending. To put its structural integrity to the test, JerryRigEverything, a well - known YouTube blogger, carried out an extreme bending test.

The test results were quite revealing. It took an immense concentrated force of approximately 216 pounds (roughly 100 kilograms) to bend and ultimately break the iPhone Air. This force far surpasses what the average human hand can generate. During the test, the iPhone Air's display did show signs of cracking under the intense pressure. Yet, its overall structure proved to be remarkably resilient. After the force was removed and the phone was "reset," it returned to its original shape. This clearly demonstrates that the iPhone Air is highly unlikely to break during normal, everyday use.
