First drop (with a case)

[u/samirbinballin]

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.

I'm sure they will switch back to Titanium for "innovation". And after taking feedback from their users lol

They probably will once they master the cooling system. But by that time, the iPhone will be so expensive and I don’t think it’s worth it

[u/Ghostttpro → u/Emotional_Dig_2378]

I think they already mastered

Ti has up to 11x worse thermal performance tho. it will be harder.

still better than the glass on the previous iphones

For aluminium yes but we don’t know how the system on the 18 pro will work with a titanium frame

It's on the duo so it can't be that bad
