The iPhone 15 series, which Apple introduced to users on September 12, is currently in the pre-order process in our country. One of the most striking changes in the series is the inclusion of titanium frames in the Pros. However, it seems that the company’s use of such a solid material will have a significant handicap. The durability test video shared by JerryRigEverything, one of the well-known names in the industry, reveals this situation.
The back glass of the titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max breaks very easily
With Apple’s launch of the iPhone 15 series, videos revealing the durability of the phones began to arrive. In this context, last week AppleTrack YouTube channel conducted drop tests of iPhone 14 Pro and 15 Pro. The results are quite surprising: iPhone 14 Pro successfully absorbs most of the impacts and emerges victorious. This naturally fuels the stainless steel frame and titanium frame debate among users.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max durability test video, recently shared by JerryRigEverything, reveals a similar situation. In one part of the video, the YouTuber gets an unexpected result while applying a bending test to the smartphone. Even though the device successfully passed the bending test, its rear glass shattered into pieces due to finger force, causing questions in mind.
One of the biggest reasons for this situation is that the flexibility of the smartphone has decreased to almost zero after the switch to titanium frames. So titanium is about 3-4 times stronger than stainless steel and it is quite difficult to bend this material. This naturally restricts the flexibility of the rear glass, causing it to break and crack at the slightest impact. In previous models, this situation was slightly different. Because in the bending tests, we saw that the stainless steel frame flexed a little and absorbed the force, and thus the rear window did not suffer any structural damage.
