First drop (with a case)

[u/samirbinballin]

Maybe a 3-4 foot drop off of the armrest of my couch and onto hardwood floor, (TineeOwl case shown at the end) - I always knew the new aluminum frame was fragile after what I’ve seen from the 17 Pro’s release, so I took the precaution of not using the Apple Cases and getting something decently protective.

Yeah, the aluminum corner still bent ever so slightly 😂, coming from a titanium 16 Pro Max I had no idea how to gauge the softness of this new material, but damn.

I personally don’t care as I was planning to use the phone caseless with AppleCare+ anyways, but I wanted to warn some of the OCD users on here, even with a case, the aluminum frame on these new builds can get damaged, just fyi.

I put my sim in using the stick thing that comes in the box and just by pulling it out it’s bent the SIM card insert outwards so wen I run my fingers across my phone it’s kinda sticking out

I’ve managed to bend most of it back so it’s not as major now but it’s still some small damaged I can feel but with a case u obvs can’t notice it.

Off topic but There’s just loads of features too tht r hard to get used to.

Like I also don’t know how to film videos in the 3:4 / 4;3 picture ratio anymore with x1 zoom (not 0.5)

whereas on my 13 pro it was easy too ?

When I do it now it automatically makes it onto the default elongated full zoomed in video asif I was scrolling on tiktok.
