iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature the innovative Ceramic Shield material for enhanced durability. These devices are constructed with a combination of Grade 5 titanium and aluminum substructure to achieve both increased strength and lightweight design. Unfortunately, drop-test videos shared online offer a different reality, as claimed by these YouTubers.
Apple Track's YouTuber, Sam Kohl, went to Australia in advance to acquire the iPhone 15, allowing for an early drop test comparison with the iPhone 14 Pro. Repeatedly, Kohl subjected both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro to drops. Initially, both phones appeared to be in decent condition after the first few drops.
However, as the drop test continued, the iPhone 15 Pro's condition deteriorated, while the iPhone 14 Pro remained operational, reported Gadgets 360. The all-new iPhone 15 Pro witnessed severe cracks and did not function anymore. JerryRigEverything did tests on it, like scratching, heating, and using sandpaper, as well as on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
