iPhone Air bend test: Apple execs demonstrate durability in live interview
Apple executives Greg Joswiak and John Ternus took an unusually open approach to questions about the new iPhone Air’s durability during recent video interviews. In a live on-camera moment, they encouraged reporters to try bending the ultra-thin iPhone Air — the device flexed slightly but returned to its original shape without damage.
Key points:
- Thickness: 5.6 mm
- Frame: Grade 5 titanium (chosen to balance thinness and strength)
- Display protection: Ceramic Shield 2 for improved scratch and crack resistance
The interviews and coverage were published by reputable tech outlets including Tom’s Guide and TechRadar, and video excerpts are available online. See the demonstration video here: YouTube demo.

Why this matters: Apple appears to be proactively addressing past durability concerns (e.g., “bendgate”) by publicly demonstrating the Air’s resilience and explaining material choices like titanium and Ceramic Shield 2.
