Every year, at the exit of the new iPhone, then in September, the same story always begins. “It’s fragile, look at how to bend”,
Proclaims Jerryrigererything by folding the iPhone 17 Pro (my mother what a strength, what a fragility), cuts it as a breadstick, like the
Famous advertisement of the tuna Rio Mare. Meanwhile, on Reddit, a user swears that all the models on display in his Apple Store already have scratches on the back where Magsafe rests: the phone is not yet yours and seems already used, and Zack Nelson, with the calm of the anatomo-pathologist, note that Apple has not even taped the camera bump (oh well): “cool” choice destined to torment anyone.

I do not tell you with the air, which is very thin they tried to bend it in every way, until it beat it with iron pipes and reduce it to crumbs.
