Overview

• A TikTok clip from @marcuscupello shows forceful table-edge flexing that fails to bend the iPhone Air, with the device staying intact through repeated attempts.
• Tom’s Guide notes the same viral video includes hammer strikes before the screen eventually fails, underscoring the phone’s resistance to typical bending efforts.
• Chinese YouTuber Mediastorm’s machine test reports the iPhone Air holding at 60.1 kgf at its center, while an iPhone 6/6 Plus visibly deforms near 60.2 kgf.
• Apple’s own durability demo cites survival at roughly 58 kg (about 130 pounds) of centrally applied pressure, and the phone carries an IP68 rating.
• The iPhone Air, marketed as Apple’s slimmest iPhone at 5.6mm with a titanium frame and Ceramic Shield 2 on both sides, is on sale alongside the iPhone 17 series, starting at Rs 1,19,900 in India for 256GB.
