The smartphone survived everything
Perhaps the iPhone 15 Pro Max does not have any problem with the fragility of the rear glass. Consumer Reports experts tested Apple’s new product for strength using their usual methodology to confirm or refute the conclusions drawn from the video of blogger JerryRigEverything. Let us remind you that this same blogger discovered that when trying to bend the smartphone, the back glass of the latter burst.
Consumer Reports experts take a more thorough approach to testing. For example, the same bending test in this case is carried out using an Instron robotic system, which presses a special bar on the back surface of the smartphone with a pressure of 50 kg.
No, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is not fragile at all.
The smartphone was also tested in a special rotating box, lined with stone on the inside, where the device constantly fell and hit the walls due to the rotation of the box. After 100 such falls, the new Apple product remained intact.
Based on the tests conducted, the authors conclude that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is hardly worth calling fragile. It is worth remembering that the same falls in real life always occur in different ways, on different surfaces from different heights. Later, the authors of Consumer Reports will publish their full review of the smartphone with all the ratings and conclusions.
