Is the iPhone 16 Pro Max more durable than the Galaxy S24 Ultra?
I picked up my iPhone 16 Plus protective screen and case even before I got the new phone. I was already aware of the first iPhone 16 drop tests, which proved what I had suspected all along: We still haven't quite reached indestructible glass.
Yes, the new iPhone 16 models feature a second-generation Ceramic Shield glass cover. But it won't survive certain accidents any better than the previous version. Drop the phone from high enough and hit a hard surface like concrete, and the front or back of the phone might shatter.
The first iPhone 16 Pro drop tests showed that the handset would turn off completely if it fell just right. Landing on the ultra-slim bezel might knock out the screen even though the glass itself will survive largely intact.
My issue with these drops is that they can't be objective. Your mileage may vary depending on how the phone moves in the air once you drop it. However, there's a new video out involving a test that replaces the human with a robot for the drop test. It gives us a better look at the iPhone 16 Pro Max during drops, comparing it with its biggest rival, the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
