iPhone 14 Pro Max drop test goes about as well as you’d expect

>

Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro Max didn’t come unscathed from a recent drop test against Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra and may have new owners of Apple’s flagship phones looking for cases.

An important caveat here. youtuber PhoneBuff’s New iPhone 14 Pro Max CVS Galaxy S22 UYltra Drop Test (opens in new tab) was sponsored by – you guessed it – casemaker Casetify. A result in which neither phone survives is of course in the interest of the maker of the case. Still, we’ve seen drop tests of previous iPhones that used similar types of drop devices, ground clearance, and array of tests. The results we saw were not surprising, but are also a good reminder that these are metal devices wrapped in glass – reinforced glass – yet glass.
