iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Outperform Last Year’s Models in Durability and Design
The iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro models demonstrate high durability in bend and drop tests, with the iPhone Air featuring a titanium frame and Ceramic Shield 2, making it resistant to bending and capable of surviving six-foot drops with some damage. The iPhone 17 Pro's aluminum frame offers better protection, and both models outperform previous iPhones like the iPhone 16 Pro, though Ceramic Shield 2 remains glass-like and susceptible to breaking. Overall, Apple's claims of improved durability are supported, but protective cases are still recommended.
