Many experts and technology enthusiasts have started to conduct strength and durability tests on Apple's most expensive and latest device, which is... IPhone 16 Pro MaxAs we know, these tests aim to measure the device's ability to withstand shocks and scratches and whether the new iPhone can actually survive falling from high places. In this article, we will learn about the iPhone 16 Pro Max's performance in the drop test.
IPhone 16 Pro Max
According to Apple, the iPhone 16 Pro series features a matte composite glass back. A premium grade 5 titanium design gives the body extreme durability. In addition to the latest generation of Ceramic Shield front, which is much stronger than the previous version. This means that the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max can withstand shocks and drops without shattering or breaking. Let's see in the next paragraph how Apple's latest phones will stand up to the drop test.
Drop test
While testing the iPhone 16 Pro Max by Allstate, one of the largest insurance companies in America. It turns out that the device failed the drop test and here's what happened:
The iPhone 16 Pro Max was tested with DropBot to simulate a front-to-back drop onto concrete from a height of six feet (about 1.8 meters).
In a front-to-bottom drop test, the iPhone 16 Pro Max screen shattered and there were visible scratches along the titanium frame. This drop caused the device to stop working and not respond to taps on the screen.
In the back drop test, the back glass shattered after just one drop. Even the frame for the camera system was damaged and broken. However, the device worked without any problem, as did the camera.
The result, as the video shows, is that the iPhone 16 Pro Max failed Allstate's drop test like other phones. You might wonder why, as the device is durable and has a strong ceramic shield. The short answer is, glass and hard surfaces don't mix. So no matter how durable your phone is, it won't hold up when dropped on a hard surface. Also, keep in mind that the result will vary every time the iPhone is dropped due to factors such as the angle of the drop, the height, and the ground on which the device is dropped.
Finally, the iPhone 16 Pro Max screen replacement costs around $29 under warranty (or $379 out of warranty). You can also replace a shattered back glass for $29 with AppleCare Plus or $199 out of warranty. If the front and back of your device are shattered, the cost will be $499 out of warranty (or $58 with warranty).

Hi
I currently own an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
If you replace it with a new iPhone, God willing
In the coming days I will write down my impression of this device.
Greetings
Don't mix?
This test contains a type of deliberate cheating, as the device was not thrown freely, but rather by an arm moving forcefully downwards, leaving the iPhone a few centimeters from the ground. Thus, the force of the collision is not from the weight of the iPhone, but from the force of the arm pushing the iPhone with great force in addition to its weight.
We tested the iPhone 15 from a height of three meters in free fall and the front screen was not affected. In one of the tests, it fell on the back and broke around the cameras.
Hi Abdulaziz 🙋♂️, Thanks for your interesting comment. True, the way drop tests are conducted can have a big impact on the results. But ultimately, these tests give us a general idea of how strong and durable the devices are. As for the iPhone 15, I'm glad your experience with it was positive! 👍😄 Always remember that keeping your device in good condition is the best way to protect your investment in technology 📱💰.
Hello brothers, I think if the battery has a manufacturing defect, you don’t pay anything, and they also have after-sales service from Apple. You have the right to return the iPhone within a month for a refund or exchange it for another one if you wish or if there is a malfunction in the device, and this happened to me and they exchanged the iPhone 14 Pro Max for me by calling and delivering it to them
Is the warranty for the stated value of $29 the warranty that comes with the device or the additional warranty?
Hi Sami 🙋♂️, the value mentioned here is the repair cost if you have an AppleCare Plus plan, which is an additional warranty from Apple. However, if you rely on the basic warranty only, the cost will be much higher. This means that subscribing to AppleCare Plus actually saves you high repair costs! 😅💰📱
We are entering a platform about phone news, and this brother has an Arabic language class and entered ours by mistake 🤣
Brother Saeed Obaid, you are an Arabic language teacher. Keep the language to its people, even your words are wrong. Do not exaggerate in the comparison and do not compare the creature to the Creator. Everything is made by God Almighty with perfection, but what is made by the philosopher (human being) has a certain amount of time and will be revealed.
This has been Apple's policy since the foldable iPad 6 and the iPhone 6s was made of aluminum. Apple called it the XNUMX. It was strong and durable, but its battery drained quickly. But honestly, the beginning of the iPhone XNUMX, unlike the beginning of the iPhone XNUMX, achieved fabulous sales. When I had it and heard the story of the bend, I said to myself that I was convinced of a plastic iPhone, then steel. What's the problem? But now times have changed. The iPhone XNUMX is not a big leap, and Apple refuses the idea of abandoning its three cameras, which makes people see that Apple is only changing colors. The demand for the regular and Plus is higher. In the Emirates, stores have acquired the desert color, and the quantity is out of stock in Du. As for the titanium color, it is available, and the white color is not available.
Because I still haven't updated my phone to IOS18 yet until the next update is released
Don't talk to him about touch problems and battery problems 🔋 on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. We are doomed. I wish I hadn't upgraded. 🥲🥲🥲 It's all because of you, artificial intelligence 🤖 MIMV 😡💔
I have an important question. Is there an update that corrects some errors on IOS18? When will it be released? Thank you.
Welcome Mohammed Bin Hammad! 🙌🏻
Of course, Apple always releases updates to fix bugs and improve performance on all versions of its iOS system, including iOS 18. But, unfortunately, we do not have confirmed information about when the next update will be released. 😅
But I always recommend regularly checking for updates by going to “Settings,” then “General,” and finally “Software Update.” This will ensure that your device is always on the latest version of iOS. 📲
Thanks for asking and feel free to ask any other questions! 😊
Peace be upon you.. With all due respect to everyone, every year with the emergence of a new version of the iPhone, the phone is criticized, whether it is the iPhone 16 or 15 or any previous version.. The question is why is the iPhone criticized in terms of the durability of the body, specifically the front and back glass? If we share all cars, expensive or cheap, in the end, the slightest accident and the car loses its essence, so what about the phone? The issue is not in the durability of the body of the phone or the body of the car, but rather the person benefits from the means of comfort and luxury. All phones are exposed to breakage or the breakage can be more expensive than the cost of repairing the iPhone. If all phone, car or electronics companies followed the manufacturing of their products with quality in all aspects, insurance companies would not have worked, and this means a livelihood for all segments of society. There is the factory and there is insurance, there is the person who is employed, and also the companies that manufacture phone protection products, as well as cars and electronics. These are luxuries if you want your device or car under temporary protection, and nothing made by man lasts except God Almighty, who is permanent. Let us be certain that every person loves a specific product. I do not want to prolong every product that is criticized tomorrow, it is the one who won Thanks everyone
Hi Mohammed 🙋♂️! Yes, you have an important point about the durability of devices in general. After all, electronics - no matter how good they are - are not eternal and will break at some point. I think the problem lies in people's expectations of Apple products that they consider to be "better than the rest". 🍏📱 But, as you said, this creates jobs in the insurance, protection and repair industries. Thanks for raising this interesting point! 😊👏
You mentioned a linguistically fatal sentence when you said (Nothing made by man lasts except God Almighty), and the correct thing to say is that nothing made by man is permanent, and what is permanent is God Almighty)
Before I judge the strength and durability of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, there is a question that arises
Has any mobile phone been able to withstand this difficult test?
Welcome Nashwan Noman 🙋♂️, Unfortunately, and with all the sadness that an Apple-loving heart like me can hold, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could not achieve its goal in this test 😔. Despite all the designs and durable materials used in its manufacture, the laws of Earth's physics overcame Apple's laws. As they say, "Glass and Earth... A love story that never works!" 😅.
True, and in my opinion, the possibility of these devices overheating will be very high, as we saw when Apple added titanium to the iPhone 15 devices and there was a fuss about this topic from technicians and the public.
Scientifically, what are bulletproof materials and can Apple make an iPhone out of these materials?
Hi Sultan Mohammed 🙋♂️, you ask a very interesting question! 😄 Bulletproof materials include Kevlar, ceramic, steel, and other strong materials. But, can you imagine an iPhone as heavy as a rock in your pocket? 🤔😅 Of course, Apple could use these materials, but it would result in a significant increase in weight and thickness, making the phone impractical. Instead, Apple uses a combination of glass and titanium to ensure lightness and strength. We don't want heavy devices like revolutionary armor in our pockets, do we? 😉😆
We hope it is a solid device to buy.
The famous producer Marques Brownlee, who is famous for evaluating all the new electronic products, had received an exceptional hosting to enter Apple's laboratories to test the quality of Apple products. We saw with our own eyes how phones are exposed to all the harsh challenges that these products may face in our practical life, such as falling from high heights and on surfaces of different hardness, as well as water and heat tests, etc. I am really surprised how this phone failed miserably in the Allstate test. You can see some of these amazing tests on Marques' website on the XO YouTube account.
Hello Ahmed Al-Hamdani 🙋♂️, It may seem a bit strange that the iPhone 16 Pro Max failed the Allstate test despite the high durability of Apple products. But let us remember that these tests are conducted in very harsh, and sometimes unrealistic, conditions. Therefore, failing these tests does not necessarily mean that the phone will fail in our practical life. Protect your phone and you will find it lasting! 😉📱
As I expected, it's just marketing and buzzwords from Apple every year, the most powerful iPhone ever made, and whoever believes them doesn't understand, what great respect I have for him
Hi Mufleh 🙋♂️, We can't deny that Apple has an exceptional ability to market its products 😅. But of course, actual things may be a little different on the ground. This is what happened with the iPhone 16 Pro Max drop test. But let's also remember that these devices are designed to be great at many things, not just withstanding a fall on the ground! 📱💔🙈. Thank you for your thoughtful and honest comment!
After upgrading the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the battery started flying by itself. God forbid ——
😅 There is no bulletproof iPhone? 😅 Everything is breakable, even an egg 😅 I mean glass
Hi Abdullah! 😄
First of all, I hope your iPhone 15 Pro Max is doing well after that unexpected flight! 😅 Secondly, unfortunately, with all the technological advancements we are witnessing, we are not yet at the stage of manufacturing bulletproof phones. Perhaps we should ask Apple to add this feature to its list of priorities for future releases. 😂 Finally, despite the fact that everything is breakable (even eggs, as I said), Apple devices are of high quality and you may just need a good case to protect your phone from drops. 📱💔
