"Durability is a major concern with a device that measures only 5.6mm thick, especially with a large 6.5" display on the front. That display is where JerryRigEverything's durability tests start. The new Ceramic Shield 2 is 3x harder to scratch, according to Apple. According to EU's new Energy label, it is a 5 on the Mohs scale, up from a 4 on the previous Ceramic Shield."
"Does that mean that the display scratches above level 5? As you can see in the test below, the level 6 and level 7 picks barely leave noticeable scratches on the new glass. Well done Apple - or rather well done Corning! Okay, we're all here to see one thing - will the slender phone fold like a paper napkin? Despite what you see below, the answer is "no"."
The iPhone Air remains the last model produced with a titanium frame after the Pros moved to aluminum and the standard model also uses aluminum. The phone measures 5.6mm thick and has a large 6.5" display, making durability a key concern. The display uses Ceramic Shield 2, claimed to be three times harder to scratch and rated 5 on the Mohs scale by the EU label, up from 4. Level 6 and 7 picks leave barely noticeable scratches. Bend testing showed strong rigidity, resisting hand bending and requiring substantial force to deform. Benchmarks and camera samples are available and a full review is forthcoming.
