With the arrival of the new generation of iPhone 14 series, major digital bloggers have already got the new phones and tested them. Not surprisingly, some YouTubers have begun to delve into some niche areas, such as “unscientific anti-manufacturing capabilities”, hoping to help users who buy the latest iPhone.
@PhoneBuff shared a drop test video of the iPhone 14 Pro Max this morning comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Samsung phones use Gorilla Victus+ glass, while Apple uses super-ceramic glass technology on the front and some kind of Gorilla Glass on the back.
In addition, the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max has a stainless steel frame and a straight edge design, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra has an aluminum alloy, curved design, but glass is glass, and both phones showed varying degrees of damage in each drop test. The test scores are basically the same.
In the back-down drop test, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has more broken areas than the S22 Ultra, more cracks, and some damage to the lens, but both phones work fine without any damage to the inner screen. .
To sum up, no matter what phone you use, if you drop it, you will definitely have to go to the after-sales service. No smartphone manufacturer has yet developed unbreakable glass technology. Therefore, it is best to bring a protective cover.
In addition to this, another YouTuber @GizmoSlip’s drop test of the iPhone 14 Pro shows that it will break no matter how you drop it, and the rear lens part is always the first damaged area when dropped from the rear, probably because the iPhone The reason the 14 Pro’s camera is more convex than the previous generation.
@JerryRigEverything scratch tested the new iPhone using the Mohs mineral hardness scale. When you use the iPhone 14, the results are as expected, the new phone still uses the same super-ceramic glass as the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, and fine scratches can be observed under a 6 hardness tool, if you use a 7 hardness The tool will show obvious scratches.
Of course, iPhone bezels are also prone to scratches, and the sapphire crystal-covered camera lens also needs to face a 6-level hardness for scratches to appear. But you know, sapphire is usually ranked 9th on the Mohs hardness scale.
There are no surprises in terms of burns.
There are other YouTubers who have tested the iPhone 14 for durability with hammers, knives, screws, and other tools for smashing, scratching, etc., but it is difficult for ordinary users to find useful information from such tests.
Apple has not made a durability commitment to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series models, and tests have shown that the new iPhone uses the exact same super-ceramic glass as the previous generation iPhone 13 series. It is also recommended that you install protective cases and Mobile phone stickers and other accessories.
