Devices encounters damage: Users are inadvertently damaging their newly purchased iPhones
The tech world is abuzz with the latest durability testing craze, as tech enthusiasts and testers put the new iPhone models through their paces. The iPhone Air, with its titanium body, and the iPhone 17 Pro, sporting a new aluminum unibody, have been launched, and early adopters are already reporting issues.
Marcus Cupello, a renowned tech tester, has taken up the challenge of intentionally damaging the ultra-thin iPhone Air. He subjects the device to various attacks, including a hammer, a bowl of water, and a screwdriver, to test its resilience. The iPhone Air's resistance to intentional damage, however, remains unknown.
Meanwhile, photos of scratched-up demo iPhones are circulating online, and images showing broken iPhones are spreading, but their authenticity cannot be verified. The earliest users of the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air have reported camera issues and condensation problems shortly after release. Apple acknowledges these issues and is working on software fixes for the camera bug, while advice on dealing with condensation includes avoiding rapid temperature changes.
Despite these issues, the iPhone Air's durability has become a hot topic in tech circles following its release. The identity of the first person to successfully break the iPhone Air is eagerly awaited.
On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Pro, with its new aluminum unibody, is prone to scratches. Users are advised to purchase a case for the phone before buying it. A good iPhone 17 Pro case can be found for as little as $15.99.
Even tech bloggers are expected to follow Cupello's example and disassemble their new Apple phones to examine their internal components. Marques Brownlee shares a visual of how a black iPhone 17 Pro might look, fuelling speculation about future colour options.
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg speculates that the lack of a black iPhone 17 Pro could be due to the anodized aluminum body being too prone to scratching. The iPhone Air, on the other hand, with its titanium body, may offer a more durable alternative.
In stress tests, the iPhone Air can be seen bending but not breaking, raising questions about its overall durability. The fate of these new iPhones remains to be seen as more tests and real-world usage data become available.
