Bend gate 2.0 with a crappy battery for too much money.
Gee, I wonder why they aren’t selling?
the air stands up to absurdly high bend forces in tests and there was certainly no “bend gate 2.0”
That may be so, but perception is reality. Nobody trusts it. The first thing everyone thinks is “that’s going to bend”. It doesn’t need to be true to sway people’s purchase.
No it isn't.
Ok I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s selling like hotcakes then.
or maybe there are other reasons people don't want it. crazy huh.
yeah, like who the fuck wants a phone with 60% battery of what a MUCH cheaper phone has?
jerryrig battle tested that phone, and sure, props to Apple for building it so tough. but nobody cares about a thin unbreakable phone.
