YouTuber Shows Apple Made The Right Move With Titanium on iPhone 15 Pro as it Can Withstand Falls From 15-Feet High in New Drop Test

wccftech.com:

Apple launched the iPhone 15 Pro with a new titanium finish that has stirred up some interesting details on the metal. While it is lighter and more durable than stainless steel, users have complained that it scratches easily. Scuffings and scratches aside, it remains to be seen how the new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max perform in a drop test considering the tensile strength of the new titanium build. To answer this question, a YouTuber has conducted an elaborative drop test of the iPhone 15 Pro from as high as 15 feet.

There is no doubt that titanium is harder to bend, its real-world performance varies from one fall to another. YouTuber EverythingApplePro conducted a drop test experiment for the new iPhone 15 Pro models. To be exact, Philip tested the iPhone 15 Pro as well as the iPhone 15 Pro Max. So if you are looking to get your hands on one, it would be best to watch the drop test and make your reservations beforehand.

In a series of drops, Philip placed a solid slab of concrete slab on the ground surrounded by titanium bars. The test started from a waist-height drop from the side. It can be seen that the titanium wears off pretty easily compared to the stainless steel finish. Both models received their fair share of scratches on the frame. With the same height, the second test was conducted with iPhone 15 Pro models taking a hit on the back. The test failed again as the back glass broke instantly. Since the back glass breaks easily, it is probably the reason why the company dropped its repair price from $500 to $200.

In the face-down drop test, both iPhone 15 Pro models survived with everything working perfectly fine. Again, the titanium frame was scratching and wearing off quite easily. Philip repeated the tests
