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.

    Could be, but also maybe isn’t. AFAIK there is just single test, and that is just not enough data to make a conclusion.

      Yeah, a single test which has been done before to all the other iPhones models. But okay, I’ll also give the benefit of the doubt… for now!

        Despite the downvotes, you have a point. Sure, it’s only 1 data point for this particular model, and the pressure applied isn’t a measured force that’s been kept consistent across models. But assuming that applied pressure has been relatively consistent over the years and that Jerry’s hand muscles haven’t gotten significantly stronger since the 14 series, there’s a bit of concern.

          I honestly don’t care about the downvotes, especially on a community called apple enthusiast.

          Most of these people are hardcore fans, or blindly follow the brand without questioning them.

          Even though I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook and an Apple Watch, I’ll never be a follower of any brand. Fuck them all! They all care about profits. People that really care about the product (like the Wozniak and Jobs) are the ones that deserve the credits (even with their faults).

        Defects can happen to a single unit… sometimes to a famous YouTuber. And only the pro max did it, not the pro.

        I’d want to see others repeat the test.

          Do you even believe what you wrote? Those kind of flaws don’t go out of the QA department…

            As someone who works in tech and has done QA on tablet hardware before:

            Lmfao. You have no clue what you are talking about.

              FYI, I work in tech, and I’ve been involved in QA (but on software side).

              But I’ll admit my ignorance regarding hardware QA!
