iPhone 17 Air Survives Bend Test Before Launch 5.5mm Thick Expected Specifications Details

The launch of the iPhone 17 series is just a few months away, but before that the ‘iPhone 17 Air’ model has come into the discussion on the Internet. The reason is a surprise bend test, which is going viral on social media. On X (first Twitter), a tipster tried to turn a prototype of the phone with both hands, but the phone neither showed any flakes nor any damage. The special thing is that the iPhone 17 Air is considered to be the thinnest iPhone ever, whose thickness is just 5.5mm.This video has shocked everyone, after which the same question arises on social media that how did Apple give such a strength in such a thin body? According to recent reports, the company has designed a new metal frame this time to use a combination of aluminum and titanium. Also, the internal structure inside has also been retired in a new way so that there is no problem like flakes or breakdown.

The video shows that the bend test was done not only with two hands, but also with the help of the table. The tipster placed half the phone on the table and put half the phone in the air and put full force on it, which brought a flax in it, but there was no damage. It gives it that the iPhone 17 Air will be strong despite being thin.

In 2014, at the time of the iPhone 6 Plus, Apple faced ‘Bendgate’ Controversy, when many users complained about the phone easily turning. Perhaps keeping the same feedback in mind, this time the company showed through a prototype before the launch that the new iPhone lineup will not compromise in strength.The iPhone 17 Air is to be launched in September 2025 with the remaining iPhone 17 models. If the launch version also performs the same in the bend test, it can set a new benchmark for Apple, especially in terms of balance between ultra-slim design and strength.

Recently, the information about the battery capacity of the iPhone 17 Air was leaked. The upcoming iPhone can get a 2,800mAh battery in the upcoming iPhone compared to the 3,900mAh battery present in the Galaxy S25 Edge. However, the battery backup software also depends on the optimization, the example of which we can take from some Pixel models, where good backup is seen despite low capacity.
