YouTuber TechRax, known for wild destruction tests, has returned with his signature “Will it Blend?” video, putting the strength of titanium in Apple’s latest iPhone Air to the extreme test.
The iPhone Air, with its titanium frame, was introduced as a lighter yet stronger alternative to previous stainless steel and aluminum builds. Apple promoted titanium as a breakthrough in balancing weight with durability, but TechRax wanted to know just how far that durability could go.
In typical “Will it Blend?” fashion, the device was subjected to extreme mechanical stress inside a blender-like setup.
At the start, the phone showed resilience. The titanium frame resisted immediate deformation, a noticeable difference compared with earlier iPhone models tested under similar conditions. However, no amount of titanium could save the fragile glass and internal components once the blending blades made full contact. The screen shattered quickly, the battery failed, and circuits were torn apart as the stress intensified.
The video highlights a clear point: while titanium helps resist bending and structural warping, it cannot protect delicate electronics and glass surfaces against catastrophic destruction. In fact, once the protective shell is compromised, the phone becomes just as vulnerable as any previous model.
TechRax has destroyed countless iPhones over the years, from aluminum-based designs to stainless steel flagships. Compared to those, the titanium iPhone Air held its shape slightly longer, but the end result was the same.
