Despite Titanium, iPhone 15 Pro Max loses to Galaxy S23 Ultra in drop test

Apple recently unveiled its most awaited iPhone 15 series, and the lineup is greatly loved by users. But you will not believe that the iPhone 15 Pro Max fails to outperform the Galaxy S23 Ultra in a drop test. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, known for its sleek design and advanced features, falls short when it comes to durability.

A famous YouTuber PhoneBuff conducted a drop test comparison of the latest Galaxy S23 Ultra with the newly launched iPhone 15 Pro Max to experiment with whether the upgraded titanium body of the latter offers some real-life benefits. He used robotic arms to make the test as fair as possible outside of lab conditions.

After a back-facing drop from a waist-level height, the iPhone’s back shattered, with wide cracks all around the glass back. In comparison, the Galaxy S23 Ultra suffered smaller cracks on two corners. Despite the titanium body, the iPhone did worse than the Galaxy, which has an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

In the second round, the YouTuber dropped both phones with one of their corners facing down. In this test, the titanium frame of the iPhone created a spark when it contacted the concrete slab. The titanium frame was fairly undamaged, but the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s aluminum frame got slightly deformed.

Other than this, there were two more tests performed by the Youtuber, which you can check in the below-embedded video.

However, after averaging points from all rounds of the drop test, the Galaxy S23 Ultra won the test despite featuring an aluminum frame. So, it doesn’t look like there’s any significant real-world benefit to having titanium, at least with Apple’s implementation.
