TL;DR
- The iPhone Air is proving to be quite a solid phone.
- From controlled lab-style tests to over-the-top torture attempts, nothing has managed to snap the phone in half.
- Check out some of the most impressive iPhone Air bend test videos below.
At just 5.7mm thin, the new iPhone Air is slimmer than even Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. It’s so thin you’d think it would snap in half if you accidentally sat on it or your toddler decided to test their strength with it. Now that the iPhone Air is landing in the hands of reviewers and early users, the very first thing everyone seems to be doing with this pencil-thin device is trying to bend it. Some folks are taking it to extremes, too, bending it over table edges, smashing it with hammers, you name it. The thing is, no one seems to have succeeded in breaking the iPhone Air so far.
