We expect reliability from flagship smartphones, and from the iPhone - probably even more than from the Android competition. Meanwhile, it turned out that Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max has a weak point! What?
The durability of Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max was tested by Zack from the channel JerryRigEverything . Actually, the smartphone performed quite well. Key elements - such as the display glass or camera covers - are quite resistant. The screen could be scratched only when the stylus hardness was 7 on the Mohs scale. The frame was slightly worse - the scratches were quite visible. Nevertheless, the problem was only cosmetic. Unfortunately, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max failed the bending test spectacularly and spectacularly. The glass covering the back broke after just a little force was applied.

Why did this happen? This year's iPhone models are redesigned. The glass back panel attaches to the case in a different way and is easy to replace. Thanks to this, the cost of replacing the back glass is significantly lower than in previous iPhone models - but unfortunately, changes in the structure of the smartphone may result in the rear panel being more susceptible to cracking. In the case of Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, we are also dealing with a new supporting structure, which is a combination of aluminum and titanium structures. This can also cause a different distribution of forces when bending - and cracking of the glass. So, buying Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max with a cover and additional insurance is probably a good idea...
