I think the same, although recently my iPhone fell down the stairs and if it weren't for the Elite cases from Vionentus I don't think it would have held up as well as it did.
It would be hilarious if you went back to the apple store immediately to get it repaired. Let them wonder how you managed to wreck the phone in less than a day.
I know it’s been a month, but I got a 16 pro 24 hours ago. Fortunately I chose to get AppleCare. 9 hours later it fell out of my pocket and smashed. I took it to the store, where a manager had to manually approve my repair as the policy was so new. They replaced the screen for £25. That’s immediately saved me about £150 vs the cost of a non insured repair, and the policy still has 2 years left!
Sam, I think you need to do another durability test, but this time a little differently. Get a 15 Pro/Max and a 16 Pro/Max, take a pebble, and drop it onto each of the phones’ screens respectively, from various heights. This will eliminate the variables of the angle of drop, edge impact, etc., and prove the differences in the actual screen durability.
This is true. They use desert sand instead of soapstone, and the curing process they use is different as well because of the different lime process instead of calcium aluminate. This is an unfair test for Americans.
It looks like the concrete is textured and uneven. This creates a lot of variability in your experiment. I'd suggest doing this on a uniform surface IF the objective is to test the two phones head-to-head. But otherwise, thank you for putting this out!
@@baobobaand whether your phone survives a drop into that uneven surface is often very random, and down to exactly how the impact occurs. There is no scientific method here and literally nothing can be said about relative durability by testing one sample in highly randomized drops.
Yup! The past stainless steel sides and more squared helped better protect I feel. How is Victus 2 in comparison maybe Apple should go back to gorilla glass? I know Ceramic Shield is made by Corning but 🤔
I wouldnt say worse, these tests aren't really equal lol. If there was a small sand grain or a small rock piece it would only affect one phone and I think that's what happened to the 16pm
There’s kinda no point of doing this kind of video. If you compare drops they’ve got to be identical. If not then you’re comparing different things. Idk , I think it’s stupid doing it this way.
@@rascallygoose4926 yes that's what he is saying.. Lay the phones on a hard surface and drop the same object, something round, and drop it on screens at different hights.
@@rascallygoose4926you are so wrong, machines can cut out aluminum to accuracy of 1/100 000 inch if necessary, do you really thing there will be any visible difference between machine drop?
In their labs, they have dedicated drop test machines that drop the phones at many specific angles and measure results. It’s like this…if Sam dropped the phone 2000 times the exact same way
May I ask if the camera lenses of the two devices are scratched or broken? According to the video, they seem to be fine. I’m wondering whether I should use a protective cover for this protruding camera module
What about 16 pro vs 14 pro? Just out of curiosity since 14 pro is stainless steel made, meanwhile 16 pro titanium that I believe has improved from 15 pro
My 13 pro fell off my roof onto concrete with no case on it. It’s go a few scuffs but the glass is fine and everything still works. Idk if I’ll ever upgrade.
So they improved glass but weakened other spots so your iPhone can still go broken at the right time so u have to buy new one. They couldn’t just make something that doesn’t brake right?
There are some hard pieces embedded in those concrete plates, I've already seen drop tests of 16ProMax with very different results: some youtubers have to drop it from like 3 meters to get it dented, some break it to unusable state from 1,5 meters. Oh, and the screen glass, though more crack-resistant - is more prone to scratches than 12Pro's screen, so take care.
0:50 No, you're wrong here. They said 50% tougher than the first gen CS, and the first gen CS was on the iPhone 12, so it's actually not that big of an increase there
Cheers in Australia! Watching on my newly setup iPhone 16 Pro Max. So happy the case shipped in today. Quickly installed the screen protector and a Casetify Ultra Bounce case. This phone is huge
So the 15 pro is a tank compared to the 16 pro? Those bezels seem to be of use after all. After drop 4 there is no comparison as the 16 pro just stops working and is unusable. Where as 15 pro works.
Absolutely love the drop test videos from last year and this year… I get that you did it because of the upgraded ceramic shield claim, but these videos would be awesome as a yearly tradition, you might be onto something here with them!! Just a supporter man, love your channel
Can we get a review of the camera control with the different ESR cases? I actually always use ESR products and super curious as to how these perform against something like the apple case’s built in button.
Definitely a very interesting video for sure Sam!- was not expecting the 16s Ceramic Shield to actually make much of a difference but that is pretty impressive!- Love your videos Sam-Keep it up!
This proves you need a case and a screen protector unless you have good insurance and don’t mind paying for every incident. As hard as I have dropped phones every couple months unintentionally, screen protector and case has kept my phones in perfect condition for the past ten years.
If you could test the durability of the titanium series 10, that would also be helpful. Have the first gen ultra bc of durability but hate the weight and thickness.
@@JStryker7 I've dropped my iPhone from the four-storey building I work at when someone unexpectedly cut me off and bumped into me while I was passing by the building's balcony post. She payed for it, tho. Anyways, accidents happen.
Great video! Just a quick thought, I don’t actually think the screen broke, I think the connector just got loose, which, yes, shouldn’t have happened, but it’s better then having a screen just flat-out break
sam is up there with techrax and eap in terms of how his brain works and how it feels watching his content as a viewer. this annual trip to the upside down is definitely something i want him to be able to do every year. i love sam
I’m going caseless this year with my 16 pro max after three years of pro max and leather cases (13pm, 14pm and 15pm). None have even had a blemish (no screen protectors either) so I’m quite confident to not use a case this year (plus I got AppleCare+)
Is that why you bought so many of them, so you can destroy them. BECAUSE I LOVE IT. I mean it's hard to watch, but that's pretty cool, mine's arriving on September 23rd, three days late, but that's OK, I've waited this long. Glad to see you're having fun taking them apart and now drop testing them lol. I love your style, keeps me coming back for more. Keep it up bro!
@@MikeHenderson-tm1hsexcept back glass I see so many with back glass shattered my wife’s recently cracked while in a case fell off lap getting out of car 🤷♂️
These tests generally aren’t very scientific. It takes just the right drop angle to shatter just about any phone. Also slight variations in the stability of the manufacturing process. It’s a game of chance where those variables out weight any improvement made to the device. If you performed this test 100 times from scratch, I would imagine you’d see overall a different result. I would say the fact they both survived three drops on concrete is impressive. 7 feet up to concrete is no joke! I’ve seen more scientific tests using a pressure device that measures the pressure before breaking point in the exact same spot. You might want to invest in one of those machines.
I have to give you an “A” for effort for making this video, flying to Australia just to be first on drop test is a dedication to your audience.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mrwhosetheboss explained that the new Ceramic Shield aims to do what it did with the cracks, minimising cracks expanding across the glass. Not so much impact resistance.
Ceramic glass is glass combine with materials that makes it harder to break or scratch but it’s still has glass in it so won’t shatter into millions of pieces but it will crack
Bro, because of your drop tests between 14Pro, 15 Pro and now on 16 Pro, I can proudly say that my choice for 14Pro is the wisest one…..☺️ I purchased 14 Pro this March, its durability is class apart from 15 Pro and 16 Pro….. The only thing I have to worry is about the Battery, for 14 Pro has 3200mAh, due to it’s form factor My Take on Stainless Steel and Titanium Frames….: Stainless Steel frame is prone to scratches, however the frame holds on and gets dent marks only if the impact is strong. The frame protects the display and takes the dents all on itself, The back glass too is good enough. Titanium frame attracts less scratches(normal scratches) however is very prone to dents, shattering of back glass is quite common as it no longer has the steel membrane. 14 Pro Display has a thick bezels, which protects the display on corner /side impacts. 15 and 16 Pro are very very prone to display shattering thanks to its lesser bezels and the contoured frame fails to protect the display, causing damage both to the frame and to the display…😢 My Advise : Cases are highly recommended for Titanium frames…😂
You're absolutely right but 😔14 pro at that time was my choice. But now My favorite thing is an iPhone the thine bezel, large display and thin dynamic island. 😭😭
@@Anisrahman616 good, however if you’re going for thin bezels please use a screen protector and back case for sure. Or else the damage control is too good to contain….🙏
Great video 📹 I applaud your dedication 👏 🙌 Most people would be too scared or cheap to do it but I'm curious how durable a main piece of tech is that I use daily. Can only watch or care to watch so many RUclipsrs making the same videos just repeating the new features we all heard during Apples keynote. Now this is something new.
Hahaha He’s always flying to AU for this. I guess it’s where the 16 Pro comes out the very first because of the timezone. Ao he can buy, record and upload it like 18 hours earlier or something I don’t know hahaha
This was interesting but the phones are different weights. To make the test more scientifically viable the drop heights might need to account for weight differences. The 16 pro is heavier and physics still applies. So, I'm even more impressed with the 16 pro.
Lemme just say this takes guts, and I appreciate it, Sam. Takes guts to put yourself out there like this for a second year in a row, knowing there will be tons of comments (many of them negative) about it, yet you’re still putting your own time and resources towards this to find out about Apple’s claims and help us, the consumers, make a little bit more informed decision about our purchasing. Kudos, man. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sam pays $2,000 to go to Australia for return flights and stay for 3 days. Sam Buys an iPhone 16 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max probably around $2,000 for both together. In total about $4,000 Spend to make this video! Sam gets paid ad revenue $700-$1300 total for this video and about $1500 from ESR... Sam EQUALS Silly Bad Sam you have lost money and you are NOT an EverythingApplePro replacement and NEVER will be!
Don’t think this comment was necessary. He’s not doing it just for the money or clout, he’s trying to find out important facts about the phones. These facts will help us as the consumers when making purchasing decisions. Also, for the last sentence - why tf was that necessary? Of course Sam isn’t an EverythingApplePro replacement, just like EverythingApplePro isn’t an Appletrack replacement. I really hope you were joking.

These type of videos are getting old
Absolutely! And two years in a row
I saw another channel try to post an early drop test as well. Jon Proser and Sam's videos are more entertaining though.
at this point Sam is going on with the tradition of EverythingApplePro
Really wish everythingApplepro still made videos. His cases are great!

@@TheHelpMaster they don't care, if you have Apple Care+, and paid for the insurance they'll replace it.

@@rascallygoose4926 yes that's what he is saying.. Lay the phones on a hard surface and drop the same object, something round, and drop it on screens at different hights.

I purchased 14 Pro this March, its durability is class apart from 15 Pro and 16 Pro…..
The only thing I have to worry is about the Battery, for 14 Pro has 3200mAh, due to it’s form factor
My Take on Stainless Steel and Titanium Frames….:
Stainless Steel frame is prone to scratches, however the frame holds on and gets dent marks only if the impact is strong. The frame protects the display and takes the dents all on itself,
The back glass too is good enough.
Titanium frame attracts less scratches(normal scratches) however is very prone to dents, shattering of back glass is quite common as it no longer has the steel membrane.

This was interesting but the phones are different weights. To make the test more scientifically viable the drop heights might need to account for weight differences. The 16 pro is heavier and physics still applies. So, I'm even more impressed with the 16 pro.

Sam loves ❤what he Does period 😊😊
