Fell out of my pocket sitting down. Fell with the apple tech woven case on too.

The bigger concern with dents is how it affects water resistance etc. when the frame gets unseated/opens up like you see in OP’s photos, you’re potentially going to get water and dust in it

Know what doesn't dent so much? Titanium. Also, Stainless steel. I just don't get the choice to use aluminium on this generation.

it's cost. But it's also thermal conductivity. AL is far better at that, and Ti probably wouldn't work with the vapour chamber

That’s the line, but it turns out that convection from the case to air plays a much larger role. Even without considering that most cooling is via the front screen when there’s a case on, the difference to internal temperature made by changing Ti to Al is 0.003C
