"Apple said the device "exceeds Apple's stringent bend strength requirements" and is "more durable than any previous iPhone," in a release when it unveiled the device. Nelson has amassed over 9 million followers for poking, prodding, and scratching various devices. He recently tested the iPhone Air and was surprised by how much pressure it could withstand. He posted a video of the experiment titled, "iPhone Air Durability test - I AM SHOCKED.""
"Bending from the back caused "freaking nothing," he said. Bending from the front, Nelson found a bit of "curvature," but the phone's titanium build caused it to return to "straight as it was coming out of the box a few minutes ago." To quantify the pressure under which the iPhone Air would break, Nelson placed the phone underneath two bars and then pulled up with a device that measured force. At 171 pounds of pressure, he heard a crack, but the screen stayed intact."
Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything tried to bend the iPhone Air by hand and was unable to permanently deform it, reporting pain in his fingers. Apple designed the iPhone Air as its thinnest phone with a titanium frame and claims it exceeds bend strength requirements and is more durable than previous iPhones. Nelson tested bending from the back and front; the device briefly curved when pressed from the front but returned to straight. He then measured break force using a machine, hearing a crack at 171 pounds while the screen remained intact, and recording a snap at 216 pounds.
