iPhone Air's Durability Put to the Test by Apple Execs

[baconcat_8964]

I love the confidence in this interview. And just tossing the iPhone Air and being “well, try to bend it!”, I loved that so much.

Indeed, they appeared much more confident during the interview for the iPhone 16 and this year WWDC. They were able to openly discuss the product, allow people to try it out, and not always steer the conversation back to their control.

Yeah, didn’t they learn proper English at school? Everyone knows it’s “proest”.

It’s really:

“The bestest proest phones”

"We have the best design team in the world"

You really don't, guys. You have a large marketing team with a near infinite budget.

Sounds a lot like jealousy.

Gruber is punching air right now.

He allowed politics to ruin his whole brand… I went from loving every post about Apple, to stopping completely as he quit posting about tech and focused on hatred and politics. Sad to ruin a brand that way… leave politics to the politicians and don’t ruin a tech blog with hatred. So glad to have real questions asked of these Apple execs also, as Gruber really cared about having Apple like him - until he posted about vaporware which pretty much ensured his end of tech coverage and now he just rants politics all day.

I don't read his blog. What kind of hatred is he spewing?

I don't know - I will NOT buy a phone (of any brand) that is not black 🤷‍♂️ Just have no interest in "fun" colors.

And, yes, I'm fun at parties 😛

You must be boring at parties.

 

[robfoll]

Fun colors are fine but I don’t think a lot of Pros were asking for the elimination of black as an option.

Feels purposeful to excite people at a black phone next year.

First of all, most phone colours disappear when they're in a case, as does my lovely white 16 Pro Max. Secondly, I'm a pro user by any stretch of the imagination, and I just love the vibrant orange, which I will be ordering. Don't judge everybody by your goth tastes. 😆

There's no doubt in my mind that this is the first half of a foldable iPhone. Since nearly all of the functional guts are in an iPhone Air, it's only going to take the screen, a hinge, and a second body to make a folder.

I know only two guys on this spot), JerryRigEverything and Unbox Therapy 🙂

Only those two have valid opinions)

Will be watching the video soon. Very happy that there is a bright color for the Pro iPhone. Planning to get the orange Pro Max. Hope Apple will bring bright colors in the future too and this is not a one off.

The way you keep interchanging the word “hatred” and “politics” is telling us more about your politics than Gruber’s.

 

[urtules]

These guys are so worse than Gruber, and what a waste of time in the end.

“I know you can’t talk about future products. Just because a lot of people on internet are asking. What do you think about foldable phones?”.

“I’d rather not”.

“No, but down the line…”

“Ha ha ha ha”

 

[Donkey Man]

Bottom line is: the iPhone Air is by far the best option, unless you are a TikToker, photographer, or work for iJustine’s vlog.

 

[germanbeer007]

Don't get the Gruber hate.

he's written a lot of things that turned out to be wrong and rarely admits it. despite this, apple continues to go on his show. I have no idea why he's popular other than inventing markdown. he doesn't work hard, at all.

 

[germanbeer007]

Strange thing to be happy about.

maybe for you, sure.

 

[germanbeer007]

even when he is nowhere to be seen or heard, Gruber continues to live rent free in some people's heads

singling out my post after our last exchange? interesting.

John Ternus = Next CEO of Apple

 

[IceCool]

Everyone has a case anyway. Just put on a black case.

This is a nothing burger

A lot of people don't use cases. I'd like to introduce myself, for one.

And no, it's not the same. Putting a black case one a phone does not magically make it black.

 

[Graphate]

Is that a cracked screen at 8:00min?

No, I watched the whole video and they never mentioned the screen being cracked.

On highest quality… it does look like an oddly placed vertical line between the 3 and 5, and it doesn’t quite look like the wallpaper.

They did throw it onto a table, it wouldn’t surprise me if that caused a crack. Then again, there could also be another source of the appearance of a screen aberration on video that doesn’t exist.

 

[eliteoOSX27]

The Apple Execs should have given the iPhone Airs (or at least a mock up) to some parents with entitled kids, who don’t care for anything valuable since they never had to work for a living and spend their hard earned money on anything.

.. I don’t get it.

Of course we’re having debates on whether a 5.6mm phone would bend if we put it in our back pocket and sat on it. Always entertaining here every September.

 

[imamacperson]

Joz is the greatest "snake oil" salesman of ALL TIME!

 

[imamacperson]

I guarantee you I could bend the iPhone Air. Can't wait for the videos to hit YouTube.

 

[Musocat]

I guarantee you I could bend the iPhone Air. Can't wait for the videos to hit YouTube.

I'm sure I could bend my 15 Pro, too. The solution to that? Don't try to bend your phone.

Siri was likely trained on them.

Most underrated post of this thread.
