Here's a picture of a busted one rather than people arguing about materials.
Daughter run in to me after taking her picture and it fell about a foot.

Personally I am shocked how fragile this one is. I've been caseless for years before any superior case beings have anything to say.
Thankfully Express Replacement has done it's job a new one on the way. Also case ordered for the first time in years :D

You just never know. There are so many factors in a drop. That’s why I mostly take drop tests with a grain of salt. That sucks, but glad you can quickly get it sorted out!
 
The people complaining about this are the same people that were blowing the iPhone 15 back glass breaking out of proportion or heat gate. If this phone was titanium people would be hear complaining about their phones getting too hot again. Next year there most likely will be some minor issue that will be blown out of proportion and we will be here again lol.

I am not taking about you specifically, geez. I think you have to understand that most people do drop their phones on hard surfaces several times during the device’s lifetime. If the phone is not in a case, it’ll incur either cosmetic or critical damage.

Again, you appear to be moving the goalposts, I have given you an example of applications that require high-end performance and these examples are no less valid just because you do not have any interest in them.

AAA games push even the 17 Pro Max to its limit so there is a large differential between the entire 17 and Air line when comparing sustained performance. The Air does not perform anywhere near as well as the Pro line in such regard because of thermal limitations.

I have also said, in a separate thread, that the vast majority of users do not engage in intensive enough tasks to see a noticeable difference in performance between a Pro and Air.

I would see the difference which is why I am ruling out the Air as a possible option for my future phone.
I have been playing assassins creed on my air all the time with no problem… I’m not sure this is even true, have you tried it? Because my air has had no problems with that game at least.

I don’t own any new iPhone so haven’t tried it. Benchmarks show the Air throttles far sooner than the Pro. It may be that you’re not sensitive to frame-rate drops or the game runs at a solid 30 even when the SoC is throttling.

That’s good news nonetheless! AC Mirage is one of the more demanding AAA games on the system.
 
It’s called REACT.  made a bad move leaving the iPhones more susceptible to damage when they fall So we have to react and put a case on
It’s unfortunate that we can’t enjoy the beauty and feel of the iPhone as it isl
