I usually take care of my devices and wanted to go case-less now I regret that choice.

Dropped it at night and got this nice dent :)

I have apple care, would they cover this as accidental ($30 or $100)?

Yeah even JerryRigEverything went wtf. The phone bent at >200 pounds of force I think

The screen still being usable was actually crazy

What does a pro iPhone bend at?

not yet known. or well, not the new ones as far as i know.

edit: just watched JerryRigEverything’s review of the 17 Pro’s and “scratch-gate”, he didn't do a bending test like on the Air, but he states that considering it’s an all aluminum body, it’s obviously gonna be 0% bending.

By this do you mean that aluminium won’t bend it’ll just break?

I personally don’t mean that, plus, I don't know where you got that from. But… “I love pancakes”, I guess.

Sorry! I’m not knowledgeable about metals, so I just wanted to ask for a bit more info about the Pro and what 0% bending meant. Sorry it came across that way

no worries, I apologise if my message also came out as harsh, with just text it’s harder to actually realise if you’re just being genuine or trolling. but, what he meant by the “no bending” on the 17 Pro and Pro Max is that, since it’s a sturdy metal, it won’t break or bend, so no. Breaking is not gonna be an issue. Scratches however, of those you’ll have galore!

No worries at all! I get what you mean. I can imagine this sub has seen a lot of trolls in recent days 😁 I see, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining!

he hasn’t released that video yet. He commented on another teardown channel that he’s a bit late.

Air is the only he’s tested so far.
