Drop performance measurement of iPhone 14 series: the most durable race is not iPhone 14 Pro Max
Nowadays, smart phones have made great progress in all aspects of technology, so manufacturers no longer only focus on the internal hardware performance in their design. They also put a lot of effort into the external body quality, but many people do not know the specific effect. In order to clarify this question, Allstate Protection Plans, a foreign equipment insurance company, conducted relevant tests on Apple's latest models.
Recently, Allstate Protection Plans, an equipment insurance company, made a decision on iPhone 14; The Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max conducted a drop test to find out which device was most hurt by the drop.
This test was conducted using the "DropBot", a robot designed to help determine the fragility of the device after a single impact from a height of 6 feet.
Specific messages
These devices were thrown on the sidewalk face down and back down without shells. Despite the protection of the super ceramic crystal panel, both phones suffered serious damage when falling.
When the iPhone 14 Plus falls face down on the sidewalk, theside is broken, and a large number of loose glass fragments make the phone difficult to operate. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is more severely damaged, with a large bull's-eye crack on one side and corner.
When the iPhone 14 Plus fell down on the sidewalk with its back facing down, its camera shell was damaged and a bull's-eye crack appeared on one side. However, the damage of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is more terrible, which can be said to have suffered "catastrophic damage". The back of the glass is completely broken, and most of the glass is completely detached from the equipment. In addition, the camera housing was severely damaged.
In addition to the front and back facing down, the company also tried to drop the mobile phone when the side facing downWhen the iPhone 14 Plus falls onto a set of paved stairs in a side down manner, the damage is very small - there are only a few worn corners. However, the performance of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is not so good. The back panel is cracked, the corners are worn, the buttons are sunken, and the camera shell is damaged
After the experiment, the company pointed out that despite the damage, each device still worked normally. Tests show that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is as fragile as the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro.
At the same time, it also points out the reason why the Plus model is more "sturdy", that is, the aluminum shell of the iPhone 14 Plus seems to be more impact resistant than the stainless steel shell of the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
To sum up, this test result is quite unexpected for Xiaobian. After all, the iPhone 14 Pro Max, as the latest Apple top configuration model, is even more fragile than the standard version. Although it still works normally, it is really ugly in appearance.
