Apple’s recently launched iPhone 15 series continues to make headlines due to durability and heating issues. Particularly, the new titanium frames used in the Pro models seem to fall short of expected performance based on shared durability test videos. How are things looking for the standard models? JerryRigEverything, a well-known figure in the industry, recently released a durability test video for the iPhone 15.
iPhone 15 entered the durability test
The iPhone 15 successfully passed JerryRigEverything’s durability tests. The smartphone demonstrated excellent performance, especially in the widely discussed bend tests. With its aluminum body, the device showed flexibility without any damage, including the rear panel. This success raised questions about the debates surrounding the durability of the titanium frame used in the Pro models.
Shiftdelete.netThe durability tests for the iPhone 15 Pro Max were recently conducted by the same source. During the bend test, the smartphone, with its titanium frame, did not flex much, resulting in the rear glass shattering under applied finger pressure.
It is important to note that the titanium used in the Pro models is up to 3-4 times stronger than stainless steel and aluminum. While such strength is an advantage, it comes with a drawback. In scenarios like phone bending, it barely flexes, limiting the flexibility of the rear panel. This lack of flexibility may lead to cracks and breakage with even the slightest force, despite not causing harm to the overall chassis.
