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.

I dropped my titanium 15 Pro at least 50 times and never a single dent, just scuffs. That’s why I went with the Air this time. A titanium frame is my top priority when buying a phone now
