The first fall test of the iPhone 15 Pro was released; Low resistance titanium frame + video

The iPhone 15 series phones have entered the market today and we are gradually seeing the testing of these devices. Now in a new video, see the fall test iPhone 15 Pro It uses a titanium frame and although it is said that this design increases the durability and resistance of the device compared to the previous generation, but this video apparently brings another result.

YouTube channel AppleTrack has published the first fall test of the iPhone 15 Pro, which tests the resistance of this device against falling from a height. Based on this video, which you can see below via Digiato, it seems that the titanium side frame of this device, which was promised to be more durable, is not so durable compared to the iPhone 14 Pro.

iPhone 15 Pro drop test

Although the iPhone 14 Pro was in very good condition until the end of its drop test, cracks appeared on the glass of the iPhone 15 Pro almost halfway through the test. Also, by repeating this test, it causes more damage to the back and front panel glass of the device. Finally, the bottom half of the 15 Pro’s display is completely disabled (white pixels are displayed) and the rear panel camera module is completely detached from the chassis.

Comparing Apple’s new flagship with the previous generation, which had a stainless steel frame, the iPhone 14 Pro’s metal band appears to show scratches faster, but its structural integrity helps the phone perform better.

In addition, stainless steel has properties that make it act as a shock absorber for the phone in many cases and cause less damage to the device itself in the event of a fall. Titanium, on the other hand, is relatively rigid, which allows the impact stress to be distributed to other parts of the device.

Finally, although this test shows that the iPhone 15 Pro is not as resistant to drops as the 14 Pro, Apple’s new flagship still shows very good resistance overall.
