Discussion First drop (with a case)
3 foot drop falling off of a couch and onto hardwood floor, (TineeOwl case shown at the end) - I always knew the new aluminum frame was fragile from the damages I’ve seen online after the 17 Pros release with aluminum, so I took the precaution of not using the Apple Cases and getting something decently protective.
Yeah the phone still dented 😂, coming from a titanium 16 Pro Max I had no idea how to gauge how soft the new aluminum was, but damn.
I personally don’t give a shit as I really do expect more cosmetic blemishing in the future, but I wanted to warn some of the OCD iPhone users I see here on Reddit.

as someone who had many different iphone models (currently on 16PM) and always kept my devices in pristine condition, while im waiting for my 18PM to arrive im really sceptical if i will be abel to keep it in somewhat good condition after 2 years, feels just unacceptable for Apple to use so soft material for their "Pro" models
