iPhone 15 Pro Max’s Glass Crushed in Bending Test [Video]

JerryRigEverything, one of the most famous content producers in the smartphone industry, made a remarkable test about the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which we met on September 12. The purpose of this test was to measure the durability of the phone with a titanium frame. JerryRigEverything, which has done similar work in the past, was even surprised this time. Because the iPhone 15 Pro Max seems to be not as durable as expected. So is it really like this?

Although Apple switched to a titanium alloy body in the iPhone 15 Pro models, it did not touch the material it used on the back surface. The back of the phone has self-textured matte glass. JerryRigEverything wanted to test how resistant the iPhone 15 Pro Max is to bending, as it has done with other smartphones in the past. Interestingly, the back glass of the iPhone 15 Pro Max shattered into pieces as soon as the force started eating it.

JerryRigEverything, which has applied similar tests to Pro Max iPhones released by Apple in recent years, has never encountered such a problem. In fact, JerryRigEverything, who performed the same test on the iPhone 15 Pro later in the video, had no problems this time. So why did such a problem occur with the iPhone 15 Pro Max?

The answer to this question is most likely hidden in the titanium frame. Now you may say, titanium was solid? Yes, Apple’s new frame, which blends titanium and aluminum, is more durable than just aluminum. However, there is an important problem here. The tensile strength of titanium is 5 times greater than that of aluminum. So it is very difficult to bend this material. This seems to limit the flexibility of the glass surface. Therefore, the rear glass, which cannot be flexible in any way, breaks easily in the bending test. Moreover, there seems to be no way to prevent this.

Is the nightmare on iPhone 6 returning?

We have readers who remember; Apple’s iPhone 6 model, released in 2014, also had a bending problem. Therefore, there are concerns that users will encounter the same problem again. We will see together whether glass breakage will be a chronic problem for the iPhone 15 Pro Max or a very rare problem as the sales volume of the device increases.
