Remember that whether a phone breaks or not in these very unscientific drop tests largely comes down to the exact spot where impact occurred, and what type of impact. Even on the same surface, you can have wildly different results even with the same phone. You could have a 14 Pro shatter from 2 feet and then a different one be fine from 6 feet, all depending on how they fall.

A common misconception is that titanium is superior to steel in strength. It is not, it's just lighter at for the same amount of strength because it's less dense. So we shouldn't see a better performance in terms of scuffs and bulks when dropping, but more in over weight.
But if 15 Pro Max weighs less than 14 Pro Max with same amount of strength then it should be able to survive that fall from same level of height, not the other way around. Don’t know why 15 Pro is failing these drop tests.

You have to remember just because the frame is harder that can actually work against you, because if it does deform, it can push in on the screen permanently and cause a crack. Stainless steel is much more flexible while still having good strength, which can actually be a huge asset because it can absorb some of the shock from the impact rather than sending everything into the screen. Fun fact I had two broken screens when iPhones were only in aluminum. Ever since the iPhone X I’ve had a stainless steel phone ever since every year upgrading to the latest model, and I have never had one crack screener back glass. It seems that that titanium may be harder than aluminum but it when it fails it will fail just as badly as aluminum with permanent indention.
this argument is not convincing because the 15pro is just an aluminum frame + titanium border band, not a titanium frame. what this shows is that this upgrade was not for durability, but for lightweight and design change.

Currently watching this on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and I can’t believe how durable it actually is compared to the 15 Pro. In my personal opinion I prefer a heavier phone it gives me a sense of added durability. Sick video man!
O yea I have a 14 pro and after seeing this, along with that one RUclipsrs video of him snapping the 15 pro glass just by pressing on it…. I’m definitely not upgrading
I lost my 14 PM in the sea for two days, the waves took it back to the beach and I was able to recover it because it still had 30% of battery. Still working like a champ.
Some of the issues with the 15 Pro are that; one that the rear panel no longer has a metal back plate, and two, the aluminum chassis doesn’t provide enough rigidity. Apple cheaped out on the frame by making the titanium only a minimal cladding. Stainless steel is a superior chassis and frame.
Thanks for the tests. Very few reviewers are left with honesty. You are definitely at the top of those honest reviewers. I won't be buying an iPhone 15 for sure thanks to you too.
Na verdade ele foi feito de uma liga de Titanium (mais barato) diferente do aço inoxidável (puro). As empresas querem fazer propagandas pra vender mais, e não apenas materiais melhores, como esperamos!
But if you didn't have the iPhone 14 Pro as a comparison, would you characterize how much abuse the iPhone 15 took before the case was compromised as "gut wrenching"? I'd like to see comparison against other manufacturers.
Now I slightly feel better that I skipped pre-ordering of iPhone 15 pro 😄 it's safer to wait for the reviews and let the hype cool down and then make a decision
I wish they keep the flat glass. With the thinner bezels, they could probably make the edge of frame rounded, extend it a little bit outwards (with internal aluminium support) , but keep the flat glass a tiny bit lower than the frame. That would be a lot more durable than switching to a new material.
Titanium was a marketing tactic. 14>15 for durability. Why do you think they make it “easier” for us to fix. Because it’ll break more which means more money for Apple. Don’t let them fool you.
Firstly, props to you my dude. Can’t believe we’re getting a drop test so early when the phone just got released. Secondly, given the fact that the 14 pro is heavier, I really thought it would crack first but wow. I was thinking that the slight curve on the glass might be bad for falls on the glass as my X broke because of that curve but wasn’t expecting it to be that bad. The dark titanium is doing exactly what I thought cause I thought it might be like the black iPhone 5’s aluminium and show the inner colour when it gets damaged. So it looks like stainless steel although it scratches easily takes falls better.
This was really satisfying to watch. I think its the rounded screen-to-edge ratio that makes the 15pro appear to shatter earlier than the 14pro. the aluminum rail and squared off screen-to-edge on the 14pro really protects both the screen and the back. I would not want to believe the screen on the 14 is more durable than what's on the 15pro
yeah the whole deal with ceramic shield is just marketing, what really made up most of the drop resistance since the introduction of it on the 12 was the design change to flat edges and the glass sitting fully inside the frame.
I think what is happening is that titanium being a harder metal, does not disperse shocks as well as stainless steel & aluminum, hence not working well with glass. Not sure how Apple engineers didn't foresee this... This may potentially be the worst iPhone made in terms of durability.
@@ggimtmemes I think you meant 6+. I disagree. Yes, that bent. But the camera housing never fell off & it took a significant amount of force to bend. Plus it had no issues of the screen breaking every time the phone fell, because aluminum disperses shock much better. This on the other hand requires very light pressure to break the back & the glass shatters on the first drop almost every single time. Not to mention the ridiculous price difference between what this costs and what a 6+ costed back in the day.
I actually wondered if the 15 would shatter easier because of the titanium! Titanium is stronger which could hold up better to smaller day-to-day scratches along the edges but because stainless steel is softer, it actually allows for the impact to be taken by the stainless steel, therefore removing the pressure from the screen/back glass from a fall. So what cases are you guys getting? 😉
Except titanium is not stronger. I thought everyone knew that but for some reason people are convinced that a cooler name means it's stronger. No one ever said it was.
@@raidzor5452 They have advertised how much lighter, “stronger” and durable it is. But the thing that most people are overlooking is that it’s an alloy between aluminium and titanium. Most of it, especially inside, is aluminum. The only titanium part is the outside of the side rails.
I agree curved edges obviously will play a big part as they always have but titanium is stronger than steel per mass. Depending on the types/grades but roughly a steel that is stronger than titanium will have 3-4 times the mass. Making that a very large, heavy and uncomfortable phone. If the 14 had 3-4 times more mass of stainless steel than it would be on par with titanium for strength. However, you would also have a super heavy, large, uncomfortable and ugly phone….that would also have a screen/back glass that would be just as likely to break as the titanium iPhone 15. 📱 Let’s just put cases on them and be happy for a lighter and more comfortable phone with a slightly smaller overall size without compromising on the screen size. ✌🏻
I have mixed feelings on this. Like many, I have a screen protector and at least a thin case on mine basically from day one. I haven’t experienced an actual cracked screen in a long time. But I can say I am satisfied with this 14PM. This is the first time I’ve felt like I could happily use this phone for longer than two years. I’ll get the battery replaced at some point, but I am thoroughly satisfied with this phone.
Most people still use screen protectors and cases so really this doesn’t bother me either lol , last phone I ever cracked was a galaxy s3 and no idea how it happened, while it was charging
@Mickay1970 yup, got exactly the same. In my opinion, the most beautiful iPhone color ever produced. But I think I will go for a upgrade and go for the pro max 15. And yeah with case and screen protection!😉
these days I was thinking about which phone to get, because I have an iphone 12 pro max and I didn't know what to choose between the iphone 14 pro or 15 pro, but after this test I was convinced, so I will definitely get the iphone 14 pro. Thanks for this test!!✌️✌️
Im still thinking which to buy, 14 pro max gold colour or 15 pro max blue titanium. Guys help me out... I love that gold colour, but 15 spec looks better and its 20% faster. I play mobile games like call of duty by the way.
Never seen anyone doing that sort of durability test before. You pushed it to the boundaries dude. It looks like iPhone 14 pro is way stronger and resistant to drops than a new 15pro. It is a good reason to consider buying an older model. Hope Tim Cook watches your videos. I wish to see his face now. Embarrassed 😳
The back can scratch waaaay easier now with iphone 15 because it no longer sticks to the chassis you can look that on camera the glass is separated and glued to the chassis it was now like the nutella box it will break with a little pressure
The level of constantly rising excitement I had watching this was blissful! The dedication you went through for this was amazing! I promise you: those of us who really appreciate you REALLY APRPRECIATE YOU!
Having today spent 20 minutes with the 15 pro max I came away not impressed with the “titanium” feel of the device. It feels cheaper than the 14 and 13 in build quality and your drop test confirmed my initial impressions. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me that the so called titanium is more marketing of the composite ‘titanium than what we are led to believe about the metal. Apple cutting cost to improve margins!
I bet @apple would like to see that iPhone 15’s damage. I’ve never seen the camera housing cover come off the phone like that before. That’s very interesting to me.
stronger metal means glass break easier , like hitting a glass with a titanium hammer and hitting a glass with aluminum hammer , the titanium one will make more damage
I like how the sides are curved on the 15 Pro. But most people who buy this phone will still put a case on. Therefore, I wish that Apple would go back with the flat sides.
Remember that the natural titanium model is gonna be the best looking after some drops because the color left after a drop is just gonna be the same. Where as on the others itll shine through, also titanium is really hard to color and anodize Also this is in no way whatsoever a scientific test. The phones are dropped at different angles, different speeds of rotation in the air and dropped on surfaces with differences of topography
No that's true only for natural titanium finish rest all will have a whitish or silver like dent mark cuz the paint is just the upper layer. Underneath titanium will have naked metal colour
While what you say, is very true. I still don't think that you can't deny that the 14 Pro does a way much better job when it comes to this drop test. Even though the angles and different speed/rotations are different. I also agree that the natural titanium is not going to be that impacted when it comes to scratches. I was going for a natural titanium either way because i do think that it's the nicest color of the 4. I also like the white/silver titanium though!
@@DBLCreationsFun fact : Titanium is way more scratch prone than stainless steel. It’s only supposed to be more dent resistant than stainless steel and should provide more protection to the frame which was totally not the case here in this drop test. Looks like they used a cheap quality titanium which they alloyed it with regular aluminium. Just Apple Things I guess.
Whilst I like this the drop location and impact are different for each phone. This doesn’t really tell you anything. When the 15 pro broke on the back the 14 didn’t even land on the back or the corner. Either way cool video.
My wife has a pretty new 14 pro with a decent moft case. Dropped it once from waist height in the case and the back glass shattered. 🤷♂️Sometimes if you wanna know if a drop is gonna break your phone, you gotta shake a magic 8-ball first and it will let you know
This was fun to watch! I feel like both of these took quite a bit of punishment and remained usable. I do think the beveled edges work against the 15 series tho!
Stainless steel will scratch easier like your watches however the durability is gonna be much more difficult to break. The 15 pro is not worth buying because many users like the finish on pro models and want to use no case as it feels good but if it cracks so easily it’s definitely worth it because it’ll cost about 500 to repair and 400 in shops given that it’s only been a month old it’s really not worth buying for sure and it’s a good choice I bought the 14 pro
Possibly the steel frame on the 14 is more flexible (steel has higher elasticity than titanium) and maybe that's why it absorbed some of the shock and passed less of it to the glass, the rigid titanium passed the shock to the glass
@@PCHelperist You are right, I thought the higher elasticity modulus value of the steel means it's more elastic/flexible but it means it's more stiff. It might be related to the fact that the titanium is just a 1mm sheet that is glued to a sub frame of aluminum?
@@MuhammadO19 Yes probably that's the reason why it's not that well performing compared to the steel frame. Also probably some frame design changes could lead to more flex during the energy absorption phase in a drop. It's very hard to tell without even seeing all the components and geometries of the frame and how the backglas is fixed to it. If I remember the old design correctly the backglas had one almost undisturbed geometry (geometry which not lead stress peaks) but the new ones have a lot of these in the camera area (because of its shark radiuses). But that just some unproven thoughts. As sad it's hard to tell by just watching two videos of it.
u guys shouldn’t forget that there is always a bit of luck on these drop tests. if the iphone 15 pro had an unlucky first drop, every following drop will crack it even more of course. same with the 14 pro maybe it just landed pretty lucky. but dont get me wrong of course the 14 pro did a better job
Ya, as wasteful as it would be, there would need to be 5 New phone vs 5 Old ones, with a consistent clamped drop. We'd get a way better consensus but also so so wasteful.
I think when Apple changed the internals to make the back panel easily replaceable It might’ve ended up messing up phone’s structural integrity I had that doubt when they announced it
Even though they're using the same ceramic shield they had the audacity to say it's the strongest glass of any phone... Funnily enough the Victus 2 held up about as well on the S23 to the iPhone 14 Pro, so I'd be interested to see a side by side comparison to the 15 Pro.
Sam Khol deserves MILLIONS of views on every video. He puts so much work in. And is so so nice and such a good human bean. I Love Sam & Jon Prosser. F*ck the Internet haters.
Makes you wonder when Apple sees this video that they might change the design of the rounded edges back to the 14Pro design. 14Pro definitely caught me by surprise. I'll Keep my 14 Pro max for now 💜 Great video!!!
@@noelle47373 If they thought like this they'd use aluminum over titanium. Still very durable & much lighter that steel. They used titanium for the marketing.
you kidding me, Apple didn't do durability test on their iPhones or deliberate to make them less durable for cash in repair services, they know more people are keep use their phone over 5 years
You should have done this in slo mo so we could see exactly how they hit the cement. If the 15 pro’s camera is heavier, it can affect how it contacts the ground in comparison to the 14 pro.
Don't😂 From the heights you are realistically going to drop the phone off, the 15 pro will look nicer after a while. Regardless, even if you say you are going to drop the phone from either of this heights, both phones will end up ugly and you will then buy a case. At that point you'd want the better phone anyways. Besides the 14 has other problems.
Get the 15 Pro/Pro Max, i don't think anyone buys these phones to not protect it and drop it so just go for it. I'll also upgrade from my 12 mini to 15 Pro Max i'm hyped.
There’s a difference between durability of a broad force trying to bend the material versus resistances to chips and scratches obtained from drops. I’m guessing titanium in theory is better for resistance to scratches and chips overall but worse at resisting an intentional/constant higher pressure bend. A big problem with the testing methodology here though: once the first glass crack happened on the 15, the following increased damage wasn’t entirely a fair comparison. It was already compromised and doesn’t represent what would have happened if an undamaged iPhone 15 had the same happen.
As someone who has vision issues, the pro is non negotiable for me. I need that LiDAR sensor for the detection features in the magnifier, like point and speak, for instance. I was looking at upgrading to the iPhone 15 Pro Max from the 13 Pro for the extra safety features, bigger screen, dynamic island, and especially USB-c right? Seeing this video just made me nervous. Even though I know I’d put a case on it but wow. Just wow.
Love the dedication by sam! But it goes to show while apple had made repairability a little tougher on the 14! When apple does things like this! There’s normally a good reason! While the 15 is supposed to be more repairable, the cost of repairability is less durability.
I’m surprised at these results but so glad I’m keeping my 14 pm 😮. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to go case-less 😊. Painful to watch but great video 🫣👍
I have been waiting for this! Last year when I bought the new Watch Ultra I barely hit it on the edge of the wall and it put a nice gash in side of it, didn't have much confidence in the titanium to holding up after my watch experience. So glad I didn't pre-order as well, can't wait to see more of these types of videos, even though this pretty much was all I needed to make a decision. If you notice after a few of the drops on the 15 you can actually see that frame around the cameras start to show, (Drop #11, 7:27) what's up with that Apple? Awesome content as always Sam and enjoy Australia while you are there mate. Already looking forward to the iPhone 16 next year!!
Once the glass cracks every drop is going to get significantly worse. The 15 Pro internal frame is aluminum and the Titanium is just an aesthetic outer frame. So, the core structure of the phone is actually aluminum, not titanium. That combined with rounded glass transitioning into the rounded titanium means it has no drop protection compared to the glass being fully enveloped by the stainless steel on the 14 Pro. Once again, it was a decision made by Apple to make the phone look nicer in promo shots and in the store, but instantly needs to be hidden by a case once you actually buy it. It leaves me befuddled that companies keep making design choices that look nicer without a case, but are so poor that they force you to use a case.
Don’t misunderstand Apple… the titanium in 15 pro max only favors in weight reduction not durability… that’s why it’s lighter… so the test is amazing prove that the curves are flawed so we need a body armor for the 15pro max and all the same getting the iPhone 14 pro max weight on 15 …. Just handle with care accident happens but not always… It’s not a weapon but a phone
They made the rear on the new iPhone 15 pro more easily repairable. Doing so has affected the structure and the glass isn’t as fixed in place as previous models. Easily repairable = easily damaged.
This one test does not prove beyond doubt the iPhone 15 has slightly flawed robustness however To make it “easily repairable” they had to consider how the glass is fixed in place and how much glass was in contact with the framework behind it. Watch the teardown videos.
Makes sense, if you think about the Apple Watch Ultra titanium casing they specifically stated they made it flat and not curved so it wouldn’t break. They might be saving a different flat titanium design for the iPhone ultra for max durability.
That 14 pros durability is actually pretty insane
Remember that whether a phone breaks or not in these very unscientific drop tests largely comes down to the exact spot where impact occurred, and what type of impact.

@@JordanCS13 though i agree, the differences in the video are too drastic to be just "how they fall"
Mainly due to the shape of the steel edges of the 14, as pointed out in the video. It protects the glass more.

How the waves bring back a nearly steel density object? -.- What, was it a tsunami?
Some of the issues with the 15 Pro are that; one that the rear panel no longer has a metal back plate, and two, the aluminum chassis doesn’t provide enough rigidity. Apple cheaped out on the frame by making the titanium only a minimal cladding. Stainless steel is a superior chassis and frame.
The 4 times titanium stronger than stainless steel claim is a joke.

Thanks for the tests. Very few reviewers are left with honesty. You are definitely at the top of those honest reviewers. I won't be buying an iPhone 15 for sure thanks to you too.

lol iphone 15 already expensive. The titanium claim should be stronger but reality it scam
But if you didn't have the iPhone 14 Pro as a comparison, would you characterize how much abuse the iPhone 15 took before the case was compromised as "gut wrenching"? I'd like to see comparison against other manufacturers.
15 pro only has a band of Titanium around the edge, JerryRigEverything cut one in half and it worked out the phone only has $30 worth of Titanium. ;D
Now I slightly feel better that I skipped pre-ordering of iPhone 15 pro 😄 it's safer to wait for the reviews and let the hype cool down and then make a decision
You'd need at least 10 of these drop test videos to have an actual "result"

I wish they keep the flat glass. With the thinner bezels, they could probably make the edge of frame rounded, extend it a little bit outwards (with internal aluminium support) , but keep the flat glass a tiny bit lower than the frame. That would be a lot more durable than switching to a new material.
they're saving that for the iphone 20 probably
@@nadamuchu lmao
Titanium was a marketing tactic. 14>15 for durability. Why do you think they make it “easier” for us to fix. Because it’ll break more which means more money for Apple. Don’t let them fool you.
I just bought a regular 14 and because of your video in Australia I’m feeling like I made a smart choice. Thanks!
Firstly, props to you my dude. Can’t believe we’re getting a drop test so early when the phone just got released. Secondly, given the fact that the 14 pro is heavier, I really thought it would crack first but wow. I was thinking that the slight curve on the glass might be bad for falls on the glass as my X broke because of that curve but wasn’t expecting it to be that bad. The dark titanium is doing exactly what I thought cause I thought it might be like the black iPhone 5’s aluminium and show the inner colour when it gets damaged. So it looks like stainless steel although it scratches easily takes falls better.
Love how Sam’s excitement gets higher with each drop 😂 great video!!! I’m impressed with the 14 Pro durability
This was really satisfying to watch. I think its the rounded screen-to-edge ratio that makes the 15pro appear to shatter earlier than the 14pro. the aluminum rail and squared off screen-to-edge on the 14pro really protects both the screen and the back. I would not want to believe the screen on the 14 is more durable than what's on the 15pro
The material on the screens are the same, I think the edges on the 15 are the reason for the damage
yeah the whole deal with ceramic shield is just marketing, what really made up most of the drop resistance since the introduction of it on the 12 was the design change to flat edges and the glass sitting fully inside the frame.
Hayır 14 köşesine düşüyor 15 ise ekran üstü
I think what is happening is that titanium being a harder metal, does not disperse shocks as well as stainless steel & aluminum, hence not working well with glass. Not sure how Apple engineers didn't foresee this... This may potentially be the worst iPhone made in terms of durability.
IPhone 6 is worse than this
@@ggimtmemes I think you meant 6+. I disagree.
Yes, that bent. But the camera housing never fell off & it took a significant amount of force to bend. Plus it had no issues of the screen breaking every time the phone fell, because aluminum disperses shock much better.
This on the other hand requires very light pressure to break the back & the glass shatters on the first drop almost every single time. Not to mention the ridiculous price difference between what this costs and what a 6+ costed back in the day.
I actually wondered if the 15 would shatter easier because of the titanium! Titanium is stronger which could hold up better to smaller day-to-day scratches along the edges but because stainless steel is softer, it actually allows for the impact to be taken by the stainless steel, therefore removing the pressure from the screen/back glass from a fall. So what cases are you guys getting? 😉
Yes! same thinking
Makes me glad I already ordered cases for mine. I’m going with Dbrand and Latercase.
Except titanium is not stronger. I thought everyone knew that but for some reason people are convinced that a cooler name means it's stronger. No one ever said it was.
@@raidzor5452 They have advertised how much lighter, “stronger” and durable it is. But the thing that most people are overlooking is that it’s an alloy between aluminium and titanium. Most of it, especially inside, is aluminum. The only titanium part is the outside of the side rails.
I agree curved edges obviously will play a big part as they always have but titanium is stronger than steel per mass. Depending on the types/grades but roughly a steel that is stronger than titanium will have 3-4 times the mass. Making that a very large, heavy and uncomfortable phone. If the 14 had 3-4 times more mass of stainless steel than it would be on par with titanium for strength. However, you would also have a super heavy, large, uncomfortable and ugly phone….that would also have a screen/back glass that would be just as likely to break as the titanium iPhone 15. 📱
Let’s just put cases on them and be happy for a lighter and more comfortable phone with a slightly smaller overall size without compromising on the screen size. ✌🏻
I’m quite shocked of how the 15 pro isn’t worth the cash at all
I have mixed feelings on this. Like many, I have a screen protector and at least a thin case on mine basically from day one. I haven’t experienced an actual cracked screen in a long time. But I can say I am satisfied with this 14PM. This is the first time I’ve felt like I could happily use this phone for longer than two years. I’ll get the battery replaced at some point, but I am thoroughly satisfied with this phone.
Most people still use screen protectors and cases so really this doesn’t bother me either lol , last phone I ever cracked was a galaxy s3 and no idea how it happened, while it was charging
@Mickay1970 yup, got exactly the same.
In my opinion, the most beautiful iPhone color ever produced.
But I think I will go for a upgrade and go for the pro max 15.
And yeah with case and screen protection!😉
That’s so disappointing 😮. Thanks for the test though!
Legends: who can't afford but still watching 😂😂
these days I was thinking about which phone to get, because I have an iphone 12 pro max and I didn't know what to choose between the iphone 14 pro or 15 pro, but after this test I was convinced, so I will definitely get the iphone 14 pro. Thanks for this test!!✌️✌️
Sam, you are a certified mad lad for this one. Legend.
Im still thinking which to buy, 14 pro max gold colour or 15 pro max blue titanium. Guys help me out... I love that gold colour, but 15 spec looks better and its 20% faster. I play mobile games like call of duty by the way.
Never seen anyone doing that sort of durability test before. You pushed it to the boundaries dude. It looks like iPhone 14 pro is way stronger and resistant to drops than a new 15pro. It is a good reason to consider buying an older model. Hope Tim Cook watches your videos. I wish to see his face now. Embarrassed 😳

The back can scratch waaaay easier now with iphone 15 because it no longer sticks to the chassis you can look that on camera the glass is separated and glued to the chassis it was now like the nutella box it will break with a little pressure
The level of constantly rising excitement I had watching this was blissful! The dedication you went through for this was amazing! I promise you: those of us who really appreciate you REALLY APRPRECIATE YOU!
for crying out loud loool
Having today spent 20 minutes with the 15 pro max I came away not impressed with the “titanium” feel of the device. It feels cheaper than the 14 and 13 in build quality and your drop test confirmed my initial impressions. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me that the so called titanium is more marketing of the composite ‘titanium than what we are led to believe about the metal. Apple cutting cost to improve margins!
Awww ty
For me, it's the opposite...hyping something for nothing. A few grams saved and some new 'miracle' material, it's just YT grifting at this point.

@@aroc3908That was shocking as hell.
stronger metal means glass break easier , like hitting a glass with a titanium hammer and hitting a glass with aluminum hammer , the titanium one will make more damage
I like how the sides are curved on the 15 Pro. But most people who buy this phone will still put a case on. Therefore, I wish that Apple would go back with the flat sides.
It made the phone less durable as drop tendemcies are higher to land on corner. Like the sample, it made the glass break easily
After watching his video I need to buy a good protection case for my 15pro max 😅😅
Apple: "We were forced to, so now your phone is slightly more easily repaired. It's also considerably more fragile. You're welcome."
Should I cancel my pre-order lol
I am actually considering cancelling my pre-order and maybe getting the 14 pro 😂
Same 😭 my #1 reason to upgrade was the lighter weight and ‘durability’ of titanium so I wouldn’t have to put a case on 🤡
Get the iPhone 14 pro or pro max and you won’t have anything to worry about
Once the 15 was cracked, it was all over. It had lost its strength integrity and would just keep cracking. I am surprised, though.
solution - casing
When if Apple makes a phone covered with Adamantium, then I will buy a Apple phone.
Remember that the natural titanium model is gonna be the best looking after some drops because the color left after a drop is just gonna be the same. Where as on the others itll shine through, also titanium is really hard to color and anodize
Also this is in no way whatsoever a scientific test. The phones are dropped at different angles, different speeds of rotation in the air and dropped on surfaces with differences of topography
No one claimed “scientific” lol it’s a basic drop test.
No that's true only for natural titanium finish rest all will have a whitish or silver like dent mark cuz the paint is just the upper layer. Underneath titanium will have naked metal colour
@@Weather_Nerd Then there is literally 0 point of the video.
While what you say, is very true. I still don't think that you can't deny that the 14 Pro does a way much better job when it comes to this drop test. Even though the angles and different speed/rotations are different.
I also agree that the natural titanium is not going to be that impacted when it comes to scratches. I was going for a natural titanium either way because i do think that it's the nicest color of the 4. I also like the white/silver titanium though!
@@DBLCreationsFun fact : Titanium is way more scratch prone than stainless steel. It’s only supposed to be more dent resistant than stainless steel and should provide more protection to the frame which was totally not the case here in this drop test. Looks like they used a cheap quality titanium which they alloyed it with regular aluminium.
Just Apple Things I guess.
Whilst I like this the drop location and impact are different for each phone. This doesn’t really tell you anything. When the 15 pro broke on the back the 14 didn’t even land on the back or the corner.
Either way cool video.
Well depends on the material too that’s why their drop is different weight and stuff
My wife has a pretty new 14 pro with a decent moft case. Dropped it once from waist height in the case and the back glass shattered. 🤷♂️Sometimes if you wanna know if a drop is gonna break your phone, you gotta shake a magic 8-ball first and it will let you know
This was fun to watch! I feel like both of these took quite a bit of punishment and remained usable. I do think the beveled edges work against the 15 series tho!
Dude you nailed it you stopped me from upgrading to 15 pro 😂
If you have a 14 pro you shouldn’t upgrade to a 15 pro anyway 💀
Stainless steel will scratch easier like your watches however the durability is gonna be much more difficult to break.
The 15 pro is not worth buying because many users like the finish on pro models and want to use no case as it feels good but if it cracks so easily it’s definitely worth it because it’ll cost about 500 to repair and 400 in shops given that it’s only been a month old it’s really not worth buying for sure and it’s a good choice I bought the 14 pro
I think the replaceable back glass helped the camera to come apart. Now you don't have to replace the whole housing. Just replace your phone.
Possibly the steel frame on the 14 is more flexible (steel has higher elasticity than titanium) and maybe that's why it absorbed some of the shock and passed less of it to the glass, the rigid titanium passed the shock to the glass
Correct 🎉
Wrong guys. Titanium is way more flexible than Steel. In fact steel is about 2 times stiffer than Ti
@@PCHelperist You are right, I thought the higher elasticity modulus value of the steel means it's more elastic/flexible but it means it's more stiff.
It might be related to the fact that the titanium is just a 1mm sheet that is glued to a sub frame of aluminum?
@@MuhammadO19 Yes probably that's the reason why it's not that well performing compared to the steel frame. Also probably some frame design changes could lead to more flex during the energy absorption phase in a drop. It's very hard to tell without even seeing all the components and geometries of the frame and how the backglas is fixed to it.
If I remember the old design correctly the backglas had one almost undisturbed geometry (geometry which not lead stress peaks) but the new ones have a lot of these in the camera area (because of its shark radiuses). But that just some unproven thoughts.
As sad it's hard to tell by just watching two videos of it.

u guys shouldn’t forget that there is always a bit of luck on these drop tests. if the iphone 15 pro had an unlucky first drop, every following drop will crack it even more of course. same with the 14 pro maybe it just landed pretty lucky.
but dont get me wrong of course the 14 pro did a better job
That's why you only take these videos for entertainment value
It’s not luck bro, how many times does the 14 pro get lucky?
To not get cracked up until the very last drop can’t be luck.
Ya, as wasteful as it would be, there would need to be 5 New phone vs 5 Old ones, with a consistent clamped drop. We'd get a way better consensus but also so so wasteful.
cope
The 14 pro was insanely good 😮
The 14 pro would be more durable since the metal is slightly soft and would absorb more of the impact
I think when Apple changed the internals to make the back panel easily replaceable
It might’ve ended up messing up phone’s structural integrity
I had that doubt when they announced it
Apple knows what they did, they put in a flaw on purpose to make ppl get Apple Care so they have to pay to have back glass replaced
Apple making it easier for repairs and customization? Ha!

It’s easier and cheaper to replace the back glass, but what worries me is that the cameras get exposed if it breaks.
You should have done this in slo mo so we could see exactly how they hit the cement. If the 15 pro’s camera is heavier, it can affect how it contacts the ground in comparison to the 14 pro.
Thank you for this! You actually just convinced me to just get the iPhone 14 Pro instead of 15 Pro. My heart skips every time I hear the phones fall 😂
Or just use a case and get the better iPhone.
No way should anyone get the older model unless it’s much cheaper. Case. Problem solved.
Don't😂 From the heights you are realistically going to drop the phone off, the 15 pro will look nicer after a while. Regardless, even if you say you are going to drop the phone from either of this heights, both phones will end up ugly and you will then buy a case. At that point you'd want the better phone anyways. Besides the 14 has other problems.
well, the 15 pro its much less weight than the 14 pro so its not just about the durability... get 15 pro man... its the same price...
Get the 15 Pro/Pro Max, i don't think anyone buys these phones to not protect it and drop it so just go for it. I'll also upgrade from my 12 mini to 15 Pro Max i'm hyped.
I don't know why, abusing the Apple Watch was fun to watch but abusing a titanium iPhone is just pure pain
There’s a difference between durability of a broad force trying to bend the material versus resistances to chips and scratches obtained from drops. I’m guessing titanium in theory is better for resistance to scratches and chips overall but worse at resisting an intentional/constant higher pressure bend.
A big problem with the testing methodology here though: once the first glass crack happened on the 15, the following increased damage wasn’t entirely a fair comparison. It was already compromised and doesn’t represent what would have happened if an undamaged iPhone 15 had the same happen.
As someone who has vision issues, the pro is non negotiable for me. I need that LiDAR sensor for the detection features in the magnifier, like point and speak, for instance. I was looking at upgrading to the iPhone 15 Pro Max from the 13 Pro for the extra safety features, bigger screen, dynamic island, and especially USB-c right? Seeing this video just made me nervous. Even though I know I’d put a case on it but wow. Just wow.
It'll never cease to amaze me how people get surprised when stuff breaks after you drop it...
The question is to buy a case or use it naked. Very much a deal breaker. I use a screen protector and case regardless
As an iPhone 14 Pro user I see this as an absolute win
You’re crazy for this. But I couldn’t appreciate you more.
You can.
Lesson In This Video: Newer doesn't necessarily mean better.
Love the dedication by sam! But it goes to show while apple had made repairability a little tougher on the 14! When apple does things like this! There’s normally a good reason! While the 15 is supposed to be more repairable, the cost of repairability is less durability.
I’m surprised at these results but so glad I’m keeping my 14 pm 😮. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to go case-less 😊. Painful to watch but great video 🫣👍
I have been waiting for this! Last year when I bought the new Watch Ultra I barely hit it on the edge of the wall and it put a nice gash in side of it, didn't have much confidence in the titanium to holding up after my watch experience. So glad I didn't pre-order as well, can't wait to see more of these types of videos, even though this pretty much was all I needed to make a decision. If you notice after a few of the drops on the 15 you can actually see that frame around the cameras start to show, (Drop #11, 7:27) what's up with that Apple?
Awesome content as always Sam and enjoy Australia while you are there mate. Already looking forward to the iPhone 16 next year!!
Once the glass cracks every drop is going to get significantly worse. The 15 Pro internal frame is aluminum and the Titanium is just an aesthetic outer frame. So, the core structure of the phone is actually aluminum, not titanium. That combined with rounded glass transitioning into the rounded titanium means it has no drop protection compared to the glass being fully enveloped by the stainless steel on the 14 Pro.
Once again, it was a decision made by Apple to make the phone look nicer in promo shots and in the store, but instantly needs to be hidden by a case once you actually buy it. It leaves me befuddled that companies keep making design choices that look nicer without a case, but are so poor that they force you to use a case.
Don’t misunderstand Apple… the titanium in 15 pro max only favors in weight reduction not durability… that’s why it’s lighter… so the test is amazing prove that the curves are flawed so we need a body armor for the 15pro max and all the same getting the iPhone 14 pro max weight on 15 …. Just handle with care accident happens but not always… It’s not a weapon but a phone
They made the rear on the new iPhone 15 pro more easily repairable. Doing so has affected the structure and the glass isn’t as fixed in place as previous models. Easily repairable = easily damaged.
Thats not an accurate assesment.
BS, thats not true.
Apple fans try not to praise anti-consumer behaviour challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
This one test does not prove beyond doubt the iPhone 15 has slightly flawed robustness however To make it “easily repairable” they had to consider how the glass is fixed in place and how much glass was in contact with the framework behind it. Watch the teardown videos.
