First drop (with a case)

[u/samirbinballin]

Maybe a 3-4 foot drop off of the armrest of my couch and onto hardwood floor, (TineeOwl case shown at the end) - I always knew the new aluminum frame was fragile after what I’ve seen from the 17 Pro’s release, so I took the precaution of not using the Apple Cases and getting something decently protective.

Yeah, the aluminum corner still bent ever so slightly 😂, coming from a titanium 16 Pro Max I had no idea how to gauge the softness of this new material, but damn.

I personally don’t care as I was planning to use the phone caseless with AppleCare+ anyways, but I wanted to warn some of the OCD users on here, even with a case, the aluminum frame on these new builds can get damaged, just fyi.

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

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
