Allstate Protection Plans recently conducted a more scientific and rigorous durability car test, testing the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S23 Ultra, both priced at US$1,199; and phones, both priced at US$1,799. Galaxy Z Fold5 and Pixel Fold in US dollars.
Water-proof test
All four flagship models have passed the immersion test and can work normally after being immersed in 6 feet of water for 30 minutes.
Drop test
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S23 Ultra both shattered after being dropped face down from a height of 6 feet (Note: about 1.83 meters) to the concrete floor.
In the front-side screen-down drop test, the iPhone 15 Pro Max shattered on the first drop and became unusable due to raised and loose glass shards. The same thing happened with the Galaxy S23.
Note: The Z Fold5 and Google Pixel Fold were able to withstand two downward screen drops, which resulted in frame damage, screen dents, and scuffs, which Allstate attributes to a raised edge around the inner edge of each display.
In the drop test with the back facing down, both the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra shattered immediately. The iPhone 15 Pro Max still works fine, but two of the cameras no longer work due to damage to the camera glass.
Allstate Protection Plans tests iPhones every year, and even though Apple has upgraded the glass, there hasn’t been much of an improvement. Apple is using stronger glass on the back and a super-ceramic panel on the front, but glass is still glass and can still crack after it hits the ground.
