Note In actual testing, the titanium metal frame of the Apple iPhone 15 is not as drop-resistant as the previous generation

The titanium metal frame of the Apple iPhone 15 is less drop-resistant compared to the previous generation in actual testing

【Phoneauto News】Recently, Phoneauto noticed that the website AppleTrack has released a video of a drop test for the iPhone 15 Pro. The results show that the durability of the iPhone 15 Pro seems to be inferior to the previous generation iPhone 14 Pro. During the test, the glass of the iPhone 15 Pro cracked like a spider web, and the lower half of the display completely malfunctioned.

It is understood that this test was conducted without a unified drop height. The estimated test heights range from 50cm to 3m, which to some extent affects the accuracy of the test results. However, even so, the performance of the iPhone 15 Pro during the drop test is still significantly inferior to that of the iPhone 14 Pro.

In fact, there are obvious differences in design and materials between the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro. The iPhone 14 Pro uses a stainless steel frame, while the iPhone 15 Pro uses a titanium alloy frame with relatively higher hardness. Some analysts believe that this design difference may be one of the important reasons for the different performance of the two phones during the drop test.

Some opinions believe that stainless steel has relatively good toughness and can bend during the drop process to reduce external impact. The higher hardness of titanium alloy may cause the impact during the drop to spread to the front and rear glass, leading to cracks. In addition, the absorption of impact during the phone’s drop is also affected. The stainless steel frame of the iPhone 14 Pro can absorb most of the impact, while the titanium alloy frame of the iPhone 15 Pro may not be able to absorb enough impact, leading to increased damage.
