Three days out, Apple TV+ yanks a major series. Something is up. Apple’s decision to postpone "The Savant" on Tuesday, September 23, originally set to debut September 26, created a rare public rift with one of its biggest stars.

With the iPhone Air being Apple's thinnest phone (5.64mm) and the iPhone 17 Pro featuring new aluminum unibody designs, tech enthusiasts are eager to see how these devices hold up under extreme conditions. Thin is in, but durability still matters. Recent testing reveals a fascinating story of engineering triumph and persistent vulnerabilities that every potential buyer should understand.

When Apple claimed the iPhone Air would be their most durable iPhone ever, many questioned how something so impossibly thin could withstand real-world use. At just 5.6mm thick, Apple tossed an iPhone Air across the room to a reporter so they could attempt to bend it during an interview. Gutsy. The titanium frame gives the phone elasticity, while the arrangement of the internals gives it structural integrity. And independent testing backed it up, showing just how tough this ultra-thin device is...
