iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max put to the "ultimate fall test" in a new video, beat your iPhone X

The iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max are the latest Apple smartphones that went on sale in the first round of markets starting Friday, September 21st. One of these markets is Australia and TechSmartt YouTube channel players submit them to a combined drop test, which involves dropping them to different heights. The YouTuber also compared these results with those of the iPhone X, the flagship product of Apple in 2017. Let's look at the results and see if the new iPhone models offer exactly what Apple promises in terms Sustainability – remember, at the launch event, he had stated that the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max were the most durable smartphone glass in the world. . "

The video begins with the pocket test which consists of dropping the three phones from a standard pocket height of jeans. The three variants of the iPhone, namely the iPhone XS, the XS Max and the X, are not damaged after the first round. The stainless steel construction manages to protect the edges of all nicks.

This round is followed by a fall in the height of the head, the ear during a call. The first to fail is last year's iPhone X, which is developing a major crack on the screen side that hit the ground for the first time. Fortunately, the iPhone XS is not damaged by a fall of the same level. The iPhone XS Max, bigger, presents a "big problem" on the top of the handset.

Then comes the final fall test, from a height of 10 feet or about 3 meters. The iPhone X falls on the back and the glass on the back, as well as on the screen, is completely destroyed by the impact. The iPhone XS, then, surprises without any sign of damage, even after such a big fall. Finally, the iPhone XS Max gets a half-split due to the difference in weight compared to the iPhone XS. Add to that, the XS Max model display also began to fall apart after the impact.

While these tests show a major upgrade in terms of glass durability on new iPhone models, drop tests are not necessarily a gold standard for testing the durability of glass. The actual conditions are usually different from those of the prescribed tests and the experience may vary from one user to the other.
