Overview

• JerryRigEverything measured the 5.6 mm iPhone Air flexing at roughly 70 pounds and failing only around 216 pounds of concentrated force, with the phone remaining at least partially functional.
• Scratch and flame tests found Corning’s Ceramic Shield 2 resisted level 6–7 picks better than prior iPhones and showed no damage from brief flame exposure, though the titanium frame can scuff.
• Analyses highlight trade‑offs behind the thinness, including a smaller 3,149 mAh battery, slower charging than Pro models, and simpler cooling that can lead to quicker thermal throttling.
• Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple’s first foldable could resemble two titanium iPhone Airs side‑by‑side, with a price likely at or above $2,000 and a launch window expected in 2026.
• Reporting points to Foxconn in China handling at least part of production, with pilot work in Taiwan and potential later assembly in India, and leaks suggest a ~7.5–7.8 inch inner screen with a ~5.5 inch cover display.
