Watch: iPhone 17 Air bend test video leaked - Is it stronger than you think?
iPhone 17 Air leaks: Apple fans are buzzing after a leaked iPhone 17 Air bend test video surfaced online. As the slimmest iPhone yet, the iPhone 17 Air promises a lightweight design—but can it survive real-world pressure? A recent bend test leak offers a sneak peek into the build quality of this upcoming device. iPhone 17 Air Bend Test Video Leaked Online The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air has become the centre of attention, especially after a leaked bend test video went viral on social media. Shared by popular tipster Majin Bu on platform X (formerly Twitter), the video shows someone putting the iPhone 17 Air through a tough bend test. Watch the video here: iPhone 17 Air Bend Test Surprisingly, the device holds firm without showing major signs of damage. Despite being just 5.5mm thick, the iPhone 17 Air appears to be built using high-quality materials that resist bending. The phone doesn't fold or break under pressure, unlike the infamous iPhone 6, which failed early bend tests years ago. What Makes iPhone 17 Air So Durable? Apple seems to have learned from the past. According to leaks, the iPhone 17 Air is likely made using a combination of titanium and aluminium. These materials not only keep the phone lightweight but also add strength and structure, making it more resistant to physical pressure. Even though the leaked model in the bend test appears to be a dummy unit or render, the outcome is still promising. It suggests that Apple is serious about ensuring the phone's slim design doesn't affect its durability. Concerns Over iPhone 17 Air's Battery Size While the iPhone 17 Air bend test has gained positive attention, there's growing concern over its battery. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 17 Air might come with a small 2800mAh battery. In contrast, Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge, which is seen as a rival, may feature a much larger 3900mAh battery. This has raised doubts about the battery life of the iPhone 17 Air. However, Apple could introduce a new battery optimisation technology or even an external battery case to extend usage. This strategy could help balance performance and power in the new slim design. Top-Class Performance Expected The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be powered by the A19 Bionic chip, Apple's latest and most powerful processor. This would ensure smooth performance and energy efficiency, even with a smaller battery. Leaks also suggest the inclusion of Apple's in-house C1 modem, which debuted with the iPhone 16e. Camera Capabilities of iPhone 17 Air On the camera front, the iPhone 17 Air might offer a single 48MP rear camera and a 24MP front camera. While this may seem limited compared to competitors with multiple lenses, Apple is known for delivering top-notch image quality with fewer but highly optimised sensors. iPhone 17 Air Price in India and Global Markets According to leaks, the iPhone 17 Air is likely to be priced around Rs 1,09,500 in India. Here's a quick look at the expected pricing of the entire iPhone 17 series: iPhone 17: Starting at Rs 89,900 iPhone 17 Air: Rs 1,09,500 iPhone 17 Pro: Around Rs 1,34,900 iPhone 17 Pro Max: May go up to Rs 1,64,900 In the US, the base iPhone 17 might be priced at $899. In Dubai, it could start at AED 3,799, with the Pro Max version potentially crossing $2,300 in certain markets. Expected Launch Date of iPhone 17 Air Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max between 11 and 13 September 2025. As always, the launch event will likely be streamed globally, with pre-orders opening shortly after. Can iPhone 17 Air Handle the Pressure? Based on the leaked bend test video, the iPhone 17 Air looks promising. The strong materials, slim design, and expected high-end specs make it one of the most anticipated iPhones in recent times. However, questions about battery life still remain. With Apple's focus on combining sleek design, powerful performance, and AI-driven battery management in iOS 19, the iPhone 17 Air could still become a major hit.

The leaked video has been shared by tipster Majin Bu on X, who has previously shared the renders of the Air model. So, how does the iPhone 17 Air handle the tough bend test, does it fold or hold its ground? The test video suggests the iPhone 17 Air has been built using solid materials which means the model is able to stay in shape despite the person putting strong effort to try and bend the device. advetisement Apple's previous models like the iPhone 6 series were not fortunate to handle the bend test, but the iPhone 17 Air definitely feels like a superior upgrade to the older versions. It has been mentioned earlier that Apple is going to reinforce the durability of the iPhone 17 Air with premium materials like titanium and aluminium which augurs well for the strength of the device. These are merely the renders/dummy of the iPhone 17 Air model but these visuals are a clear indication of how Apple is serious about making its new device work. We're eager to see how Apple shapes this unique device and how it plans to tackle the obvious battery life issues. After all, the iPhone 17 Air leak suggests Apple will offer a 2800mAh battery which is significantly smaller than the 3900mAh unit packed in the Galaxy S25 Edge. Having said that, Apple plans to bring AI support to iOS 19 to help manage the battery of iPhone 17 series models.
