Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet is the new iPhone Air. It measures just 5.6mm in thickness and quite understandably raises a whole lot of concerns about its durability. Since the launch, Apple fans and critics have all been waiting for the famous bend test results, and their wait is finally over.

Popular durability tester JerryRigEverything on YouTube has finally released the much-awaited video where they put the new iPhone Air through rigorous bend and scratch tests. The good news is, the results strongly back Apple’s claims of making its “most durable iPhone ever.”

In his hands-on video, JerryRigEverything applied maximum force to bend the iPhone Air. While the phone flexed under pressure, it quickly returned to its original flat shape without snapping. Even after repeated attempts, the iPhone Air refused to break, showcasing impressive structural resilience.

When human force wasn’t enough, the YouTuber switched to a mechanical setup to push the phone beyond its limits. The iPhone Air only gave way after enduring over 215 lbs of point force. Even then, while the front glass shattered, the back glass stayed intact and the touch screen digitiser remained functional. The bend test basically proved just how robust Apple’s latest design is.

Ceramic Shield 2 sets new standards in scratch resistance

It wasn’t just the frame that impressed. The front display, protected by Apple’s second-generation Ceramic Shield glass, performed significantly better in scratch resistance tests. Traditionally, smartphone glass begins to scratch at levels 5 or 6 on the Mohs hardness scale with sapphire scoring 9.

As JerryRigEverything’s iconic line goes, “scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7.” However, with the new Ceramic Shield 2, both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air showed no visible scratches at level 6 and only faint marks at level 7. This is a clear improvement over previous iPhones and supports Apple’s claim of up to 3x better scratch resistance.

So, this leap in screen protection combined with the iPhone Air’s bend resistance bodes well for everyday use. While Apple recommends protective accessories like its new Clear Case, the tests confirm that the iPhone Air can withstand both physical stress and daily wear far better than its predecessors.

Highlights

  • Users in China report visible scuffs on the Blue iPhone 17 Pro and Black iPhone Air.
  • Experts link the issue to Apple’s anodised aluminium finish with past models showing similar wear.
  • Despite viral complaints and scrutiny, iPhone 17 sales remain strong across Asia with Pro Max models facing multi-week delivery delays.

Apple’s newly launched iPhone 17 lineup is facing scrutiny in China with growing concerns about durability. While Apple promoted the iPhone 17 series as featuring a tougher, scratch-resistant aluminium shell, early real-world usage suggests otherwise.

Reports indicate that the Blue iPhone 17 Pro and the Black iPhone Air are particularly prone to scratches and scuffs, sparking doubts over Apple’s claims. This could also explain why Apple decided against offering a black colour option in this generation. Here’s the complete story.

iPhone 17 Durability Complaints Surface in China

Shoppers and reviewers in China noticed visible scuffs on display units of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in Apple Stores across Shanghai and Hong Kong. The new Blue finish, in particular, showed scratches within just hours of handling. The iPhone Air, Apple’s ultra-thin model, has also shown similar issues, raising further concerns about durability.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman confirmed these findings, stating he observed blemishes on demo units in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and London. French tech blog Consomac also reported seeing scratches on store units, sharing photos that highlight the problem.

Industry experts suggest that the Deep Blue iPhone 17 Pro is likely vulnerable because of its anodised aluminium frame. Apple’s darker aluminium models in previous years had the same issue, which may be the reason the company avoided releasing a black version this time.

Chinese customers have taken to Weibo, the country’s leading social media platform, to express frustration, with the topic of scratched iPhones quickly going viral. Given that China is one of Apple’s most crucial markets, the backlash could harm the brand’s momentum at a time when Apple is working to regain ground in sales and catch up in the AI race.

Mark Gurman also speculated that Apple may already be aware of the issue, which could explain the absence of a Black variant this year. However, the company has not yet released an official statement.

Apple’s Track Record With Launch Issues

This is not the first time Apple has faced criticism for durability. The iPhone 7’s glossy black version was infamous for being easily scratched, the iPhone 6 became known for bending under pressure, and the iPhone 4 faced widespread antenna problems that affected connectivity.

The new durability concerns now risk overshadowing the strong demand for the iPhone 17 series. Despite the backlash, sales have been robust across Asia, especially for the Pro models. In Hong Kong, only the iPhone Air was available for walk-in buyers at launch, while customers seeking iPhone 17 and Pro variants were directed to order online, with wait times stretching to three weeks.

According to reports, delays are widespread across Australia, New Zealand, mainland China, and Singapore with iPhone 17 Pro Max deliveries pushed up to four weeks. In South Korea, the iPhone 17 Pro is available within a week, but the Pro Max remains backordered until late October.

FAQs

Q1. Which iPhone 17 models are reportedly facing scratch issues?

Answer. Users in China report that the Blue iPhone 17 Pro and Black iPhone Air are prone to visible scratches and scuffs, raising doubts about Apple’s durability claims.

Q2. What material is believed to be causing the iPhone 17 scratch vulnerability?

Answer. Experts suggest the anodised aluminium frame, especially in darker finishes like Deep Blue, is more susceptible to wear, a known issue in past iPhone models.

Q3. Has Apple responded to the iPhone 17 scratch complaints?

Answer. As of now, Apple has not issued an official statement. However, analysts speculate the absence of a Black variant this year may reflect internal awareness of the issue.

Apple has emerged as the fastest-growing smartphone brand in India during the first half of 2025. According to the latest report by IDC, the brand has recorded an impressive 35% year-on-year (YoY) growth.

IDC noted, “Smartphone market grew two per cent y-o-y in H1 2025 with 60 million units shipped (sales), led by Vivo, while Apple emerged as the fastest-growing brand.” This comes despite the overall smartphone market in the country showing only a modest 2% YoY growth during the same period.

Alongside Apple, Motorola also stood out as one of the fastest-growing brands, particularly in Tier-I cities. Meanwhile, Vivo dominated overall shipments with 25.2% YoY growth, securing the top spot, while Samsung witnessed a 2.5% YoY decline. Oppo also maintained its position among the leading brands.

Anjney Bhardwaj, Senior Research Analyst at IDC India, explained, “Subdued consumer demand and rising ASPs (average selling prices) continue to impact smartphone sales, registering a nominal 2 per cent y-o-y growth in H1 2025. The premium ₹50,000+ segment recorded the highest growth while the ₹10,000-20,000 price segment accounted for most units sold. Tier-I cities led in sales growth, with Apple and Motorola emerging as the fastest-growing brands.”

In contrast, Tier-II and Tier-III markets experienced slight declines, while Tier-IV cities accounted for the largest share of total units sold.

Apple’s Momentum in India

Analysts highlighted that Apple’s rapid growth in India is fueled by rising affordability through EMI schemes, making premium iPhones more accessible to younger buyers. This has significantly boosted demand in the premium smartphone segment.

Foxconn, Apple’s largest iPhone assembler, continues to play a key role with manufacturing units in both China and India. Currently, all iPhones made in India are shipped to meet demand in the US market.

Production of the iPhone 17 series has already begun at Foxconn’s second-largest unit in Bengaluru, even as China continues to impose informal restrictions.

Union Minister of Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, also acknowledged Apple’s progress, stating,  “Practically all the models of Apple iPhones are now manufactured in India and most of the advanced countries will be getting the Apple iPhone manufactured in India, that is a good progress we have made.”

According to sources, Apple plans to scale production to 60 million units in 2025, a major increase from the 35–40 million units produced in 2024–25. In fact, Apple assembled 60% more iPhones worth nearly $22 billion in India in the year ending March 31, 2025.

FAQs

Q1. How much did Apple grow in India’s smartphone market in H1 2025?

Answer. Apple recorded a 35% year-on-year growth, making it the fastest-growing smartphone brand in India despite the overall market rising just 2% during the same period.

Q2. What factors contributed to Apple’s growth in India?

Answer. EMI schemes and increased affordability made premium iPhones more accessible to younger buyers, driving strong demand, especially in Tier-I cities.

Q3. Is Apple expanding iPhone production in India?

Answer. Yes, Apple plans to scale production to 60 million units in 2025, with Foxconn’s Bengaluru plant playing a key role. Most iPhones made in India are exported to the U.S.

Highlights

  • Apple may equip its upcoming budget MacBook with the iPhone 17 Pro’s A19 Pro chip.
  • It is expected to feature a 12.9-inch screen and launch in vibrant colours like pink, blue, silver, and yellow.
  • The pricing is tipped to start at $599–$699 (₹52,000–₹61,000) and it could launch globally by year-end.

It was reported a while back that Apple is gearing up to launch a new budget-friendly MacBook by the end of this year. Now, fresh leaks suggest a major upgrade in its processing power.

The device, which has been circulating in the rumour mill for months, was initially expected to feature the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 Pro. However, with the arrival of the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple might take a different approach.

According to tipster Mobile Chip Master on Weibo, Apple is now considering using the A19 Pro chipset from the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max to power this upcoming MacBook.

A19 Pro Vs A18 Pro

image

The A19 Pro delivers a significant performance jump compared to its predecessor. Reports claim that the iPhone 17 Pro scores 3,895 points in single-core and 9,746 in multi-core tests on Geekbench with the A19 Pro. In contrast, the iPhone 16 Pro with A18 Pro managed 3,445 (single-core) and 8,579 (multi-core).

This performance leap suggests that the affordable MacBook, if equipped with the A19 Pro, could easily handle demanding tasks, making it a highly competitive option in Apple’s lineup.

For those concerned about a phone processor in a MacBook, Apple’s latest chips are already outperforming some of its laptops. For context, the M2 MacBook Air scores 2,596 (single-core) and 9,719 (multi-core) on Geekbench, which is actually lower than even the A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro. This shows that the A19 Pro could rival or even surpass entry-level MacBook performance.

Affordable MacBook – What Else We Know?

Leaks suggest that the new MacBook will feature a 12.9-inch display, slightly smaller than the 13.6-inch panel on the MacBook Air. Apple may also give it a more colourful design with expected finishes in pink, blue, silver, and yellow, appealing to younger buyers and students.

Apple’s current M4 MacBook Air starts at Rs 99,900 in India, but the new affordable MacBook is expected to be priced much lower. Reports suggest a starting price of around $599 (roughly Rs 52,370), though some sources believe it could go up to $699 (around Rs 61,113).

The device could launch globally including in India by the end of this year. It will most likely give Apple an opportunity to tap into emerging markets with a competitively priced laptop.

FAQs

Q1. What chipset is expected to power Apple’s upcoming budget MacBook?

Answer. Leaks suggest Apple may use the A19 Pro chipset from the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, offering performance that rivals or surpasses the M2 MacBook Air.

Q2. How does the A19 Pro compare to previous Apple chips?

Answer. The A19 Pro scores 3,895 (single-core) and 9,746 (multi-core) on Geekbench, significantly higher than the A18 Pro and even the M2 chip in some benchmarks.

Q3. What are the expected specs and pricing of the affordable MacBook?

Answer. It may feature a 12.9-inch display, colourful design options, and launch at $599–$699 (₹52,000–₹61,000), targeting students and emerging markets by year-end.

Apple Increases iPhone 17 Production After Strong Pre-Order Demand

Highlights

  • Apple has asked suppliers like Luxshare and Foxconn to increase iPhone 17 output by up to 40% due to unexpectedly strong pre-order demand.
  • Consumers are favouring the $799 iPhone 17 over pricier Pro variants, prompting Apple to revise its initial production ratio estimates.
  • The standard iPhone 17 now includes ProMotion, upgraded cameras, and Centre Stage feature.

It appears Apple is ramping up production of the iPhone 17 lineup after stronger-than-expected pre-order performance. A recent report confirms the Cupertino giant is asking its supply chain to meet the surge in demand.  Here’s what we know.

Apple Boosts iPhone 17 Production

According to a report from The Information, Apple has asked its suppliers to boost output for the standard iPhone 17. The report reads, “Earlier this week, Apple asked Luxshare Precision, one of the two main iPhone assemblers in China—in addition to Foxconn—to raise daily production of the standard iPhone 17 by around 40%, two people said. The company also told a supplier of non-electrical parts for that model to increase its daily output by roughly 30%, according to an employee at that firm.”

This decision follows earlier projections that the iPhone 17 would make up 25% of total production, with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max accounting for 65%, and the iPhone Air representing the remaining 10%. However, the latest adjustment suggests Apple may have underestimated demand for its more affordable option.

The Information highlights, “The shift suggests more consumers than Apple expected opted to buy the cheaper iPhone 17 model, which retails for $799 in the U.S., rather than the premium Pro models, which cost $1,099 and more but which usually feature significantly better build materials, cameras, processors and displays.”

The trend indicates that customers may be less willing to pay higher prices for the premium Pro lineup, particularly as the iPhone Air launched at a price point close to the Pro models.

Despite Apple’s positioning of the iPhone Air as a “non-Pro iPhone Pro” during the Awe Dropping event, consumer interest seems to be gravitating toward the standard iPhone 17.

One possible reason for this shift is the significant upgrades Apple has introduced to the base iPhone model. For the first time, the standard iPhone includes features such as ProMotion, a more advanced camera system, and Centre Stage for the front-facing camera. These additions could be drawing regular consumers toward the entry-level device, offering them premium-like features at a lower cost.

FAQs

Q1. Why is Apple increasing production of the iPhone 17?

Answer. Apple saw stronger-than-expected pre-order demand for the standard iPhone 17, prompting a 30–40% production boost across key suppliers like Luxshare and Foxconn.

Q2. How does the iPhone 17 compare to the Pro models in terms of demand?

Answer. Despite initial expectations, more consumers opted for the affordable iPhone 17 over the premium Pro models, likely due to its upgraded features at a lower price point.

Q3. What premium features are now included in the standard iPhone 17?

Answer. The iPhone 17 now offers ProMotion display, an advanced camera system, and Centre Stage support, features previously exclusive to higher-end models.

Highlights

  • The iPhone 17 Pro teardown shows fewer adhesives and 14 screws, making it easier to service.
  • Both front and rear cameras feature larger sensors with a redesigned TrueDepth layout for improved imaging and facial recognition.
  • A large graphene pad aids heat dissipation, while a horizontally placed motherboard may enhance drop protection.

The iPhone 17 Pro has already undergone its first teardown, giving us an inside look at Apple’s latest flagship. Just a day after the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery was dismantled, YouTube channel REWA Technology released a nearly nine-minute video showing the full disassembly of the iPhone 17 Pro. Here is a quick rundown of the noteworthy changes the video reveals.

iPhone 17 Pro – Teardown

The teardown shows that the iPhone 17 Pro relies on 14 screws and less adhesive compared to earlier models. The teardown channel REWA notes that means the phone “could be friendly to repairs.” This design tweak should make it easier for technicians to service or replace components without dealing with excessive glue.

Inside, the device features a large graphene pad to aid in heat dissipation, helping to keep performance steady during intensive use.

The video also confirms that both the rear and front camera modules now house larger sensors. Apple has also adjusted the front camera’s TrueDepth system, inverting the position of the dot projector and flood illuminator compared to the iPhone 16 Pro.

image

Another change is the horizontally placed motherboard, which REWA suggests could provide better drop protection thanks to its denser layout. However, the NAND memory chip’s placement partially overlaps with the A19 chip, which could make heating the NAND during storage upgrades riskier as it might damage the main processor.

While the overall design of the iPhone 17 Pro appears to be more repair-friendly than previous generations, REWA points out that new connectors on certain components introduce their own risks, making some parts of the disassembly process more delicate.

You can check out the entire teardown video below –

FAQs

Q1. What makes the iPhone 17 Pro more repair-friendly than previous models?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro uses just 14 screws and less adhesive, making it easier to disassemble and service. This design shift improves accessibility for technicians.

Q2. What camera upgrades were revealed in the iPhone 17 Pro teardown?

Answer. Both front and rear camera modules feature larger sensors. The TrueDepth system has also been reconfigured with the dot projector and flood illuminator positions inverted compared to the iPhone 16 Pro.

Q3. Are there any risks associated with internal repairs or upgrades?

Answer. Yes, the NAND memory chip partially overlaps with the A19 processor. Heating the NAND during storage upgrades could risk damaging the main chip, making repairs more delicate.
