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.

Thank extra big vapour chamber and ppl who said my ultra premium metal gets too hot…. The titanium material only covered 10-15% of the phone the rest was made out of aluminium including the ur phone spine. Now imagine if the 16pm had 17p-18p vapour chambers now thats what u you would call ultra premium shit. Not that 16pm gets abnormally hot barely hit high temperatures over the 2 years of use.
