Have you seen or read about the 15 Pro/Max being more fragile? Some commenters suggest that the more rigid titanium chassis makes the glass more susceptible to cracking.
I’ve never bought AC+ or any sort of insurance for my phones, only a case, but I’m getting uncomfortable…
Are any of you case users actually worried? I’d estimate that I drop my phone a handful of times each year onto bedroom carpet or bathroom tile, usually from waist height.
I tossed my 11 around all the time without issues. If this phone (15PM) is at least tougher than that I’m fine
The findings here are that the 15PM would be much less tough than your 11.
Regardless of the questionable validity of these drop tests, I’m not worried at all.
Out of curiosity, can you link me to these findings? OP is just citing anecdotal evidence and I’m not sure where people are seeing this outside of a few YouTubers. Not trying to be an asshole or anything, just curious
It’s one very well known YouTuber specifically, whose entire thing is testing iPhones for stupid problems like these, ever since it happened last time with the IPhone 6. And they’re not drop tests, the test is putting a minimal amount of lateral pressure on the phone like what would happen if you were to put your phone in your pocket. And what was found was that a small amount of pressure on the phone will cause it to bend and break, like with the iPhone 6. The validity of JerryRigEverything isn’t really questionable as he performs this test on every Apple product and they usually pass. here’s him doing the same thing to your old phone where you can see it holds up just fine, unlike the 15 PM. It’s bendgate 2, electric boogaloo.
