It hasn’t been long since the iPhone 16 series was released, but YouTubers have already been testing the durability of the device. Drop and scratch tests of the iPhone 16 Pro have revealed an outline of its durability.
Are the corners more susceptible to damage due to the narrow bezel?
Sam Cole of AppleTrack, an Apple news source, flew all the way from the US to Australia to be among the first to conduct drop tests on the new device to see how durable it would be.
In a drop test in which the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro were dropped from the same height, it was found that the iPhone 16 Pro, which has a narrower bezel width, was more vulnerable to impact in the corners and areas near the screen.
This result is quite understandable given the device specifications.
How resistant is it to scratches?
JerryRigEverything, known for conducting detailed scratch tests every time a new model is released, has conducted durability tests on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The iPhone 16 series uses a new generation of Ceramic Shield that is 50% stronger than the original, but what were the results?
Overall, there didn’t appear to be any major differences from last year.
No matter how strong it is, “it’s still glass,” and in his scratch test, scratches began to appear at level 6.
The new “camera control” button, which is made of sapphire, was also tested for scratch resistance and found to be less durable than genuine sapphire crystals and watches made of sapphire.
He also tested the device to see if it would break, but thanks to its titanium frame, it didn’t seem to budge at all.
