Almost a year later my iPhone 15 Pro Max is in very good condition and I think it is partly due to its cases and now that I am going to switch to the 16 Pro Max, seeing which one I put on the phone
I'm really happy they used the material with one of the best strength to weight ratios and managed to make it ten times more fragile then all the other models.
@@jpogigtxcr1778tbf, lightness in a phone is incredibly underrated. Extra mass when falling increases the momentum and kinetic energy. In theory, a lighter phone should survive drops more easily (assuming we can maintain the structural integrity). Velocity will always be the killer factor, but reducing mass as much as possible is one factor to surviving more drops.
I don’t get the naggings about the weight of the past 3 generation iPhones that people had, my 14 Pro Max is the heaviest iPhone to ever exist and after 1 week of usage i was completely fine and comfortable with it, all of this weight and repairablity naggings made apple to switch from durable stainless steel to this crappy recycled aluminum, now we’re back at the iPhone 6 era durability again.🤦🏻♂️
Ngl I too was just as surprised as Zach. iPhones have some of the sturdiest build amongst all phones so seeing the back glass crack this easily was a shocker.
The glass cracking is how the user personalized their iPhone as each individual create different pattern of the cracked glass based on their lifestyle.

@@kluangh1tam The problem is its a glass. Glass prone to breaks in unstable structure. Im not find it weird if its going to broke with just 1 stupid fall because how the Pro Max structure doesnt support the glass as good as the Pro one.

I was like a kid a Christmas. Zack over here like "the more conflated apple's marketing is vs perception, the more precise the tools we test with 😏" 😂 we're here for it!!
Yikes! I thought Samsung went the "cheap" route choosing grade 2 titanium, but then I saw this. Maybe they thought their choice through from a mechanical engineering point of view a little more thoroughly.
''We have a brand new USB-C cable.. I imagine the world will soon follow Apple's lead on this one and we'll start seeing this port everywhere'' kinda flew under the radar 😂😂 you can miss it easily. But Apple deserves it
The stupid thing is the USB-C spec allows alternate modes. Two devices connected via USB-C can negotiate to use the USB data wires to carry signals other than USB. That's how HDMI, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt (which is just PCIe) over USB-C work. Apple could easily have made a Lightning alternate mode and put a USB-C port on its phones 8 years ago, without losing compatibility with pre-existing Lightning devices.
of cause they could and also they could add USB 3 specs to the normal version of iPhones but unfortunately they do not care about it because that makes less money@@solandri69 Plus they had to add USB-C port to iphones mostly because of the new EU rules, not by their will.
@@muchidromedary.7368 Lean over a table with your phone in your pocket and you could easily create that exact scenario, or accidently sit on it with it in your back pocket. If your work is labour intensive the possibilities are nearly endless.
@muchidromedary.7368 Anything can happen where pressure is placed on your phone, life isn't perfect. It may fall between a car's seat, it may be in your back pocket and you sit on something, it may be in your pocket and you lean against something. These aren't wild ideas but now you risk shattering your glass.
I want everyone to remember that having removable back glass, is not the reason for this. The very delicate Z flip 5 also has removable back glass and was just fine and survived worse.
Meh, the fact that cracks are all unique means this is just really great modern art, like a Jackson Pollack painting made out of broken gorilla glass😂jk
That silence after the snap said everything. Whoaa.. This hasn't happened to any phone recently. This might be their gig to offer repairability at a lower rate but more frequently.
You do know that this is a benefit; don’t you? Same as a crumple zone in a car… the glass has absorbed all the energy of the impact; so the titanium frame was uncompromised. It means you can just buy a new back glass than a whole new phone because the frame is bent out of shape. But then again, if you thought about it with common sense, you wouldn’t be able to use your “apple bad” comment
@@olibarber2232what energy? Zack even admits it was light pressure. This wasn't a drop test. Stop being an Apple homer. If you sit on this thing wrong you'll crack the back glass from "all that energy" it absorbed. 😂
I'm not surprised that there are complaints already about scratched phones. Not only does it seem pretty effortless, the scratches are also really noticeable
yeah the coating is terrible. Not that I'm an engineer who would know anything about it, but I wonder why they even offer alternative color options to the natural finish when the coating comes off so easily. Their excuses to not color the titanium itself don't really hold up when compromising the durability of the colored phone's coating
@@sosuaevents That shouldn't be a solution for a phone that expensive. Also, if this scratches easily, even a little kernel of sand may scratch your phone WHILE in the case. So say goodbye to your research value, cause these issues will still happen
That's why they made "natural titanium" an option in the first place, and also why they made the back glass so easily removable: Apple knew these things would be an issue and instead of designing a better phone where these things wouldn't happen they just said "lol" and ignored them
I've got the natural titanium exactly because I was expecting the coating to be scratch able. Titanium is hard to coat. I bet that engineers were forced to apply a coating because of the design and marketing team telling that it MUST have color options.
@@deadeyegamer3020Am I stupid but isnt the dudes name "JerryRigEverything" to rig something means to sabotage something, also I was at a apple store a few days ago and I held a bunch of different 15s and they all felt pretty good, I just dont understand how a trillion dollar company would release their best phone for it to crack with just hands.
@@Nohraz No. They'll just shift to another market. Gamers did this with Nvidia GPUs and Nvidia doubled down and moved further into the AI market. They make more money, and you get nothing.
Epsecially, blue ones are very sensitive. Mine just drop from a 30cm, on wooden panel and just a little ones occurs (paint is easy to scratch). So, besides its a very good phone. Hopefully, they will change frame in iP16.
i mean he's not too wrong (how long did iPhone users put up with lightning? 😂) but that's just being cheap lmao, the iPhone 15 isn't exactly a budget phone like the Galaxy A series is to the S
Everyone would have expected the use of titanium to be as resistant as the stainless steel used on the iPhone 14 Pro/Max and instead they only reduced the weight by 20 grams and made the smartphone more delicate. This is probably due to the fact that the frame is not completely made of titanium but aluminum and titanium (used exclusively for the side edge). 🙁
Dang, that's disappointing. I remember seeing those 12 & 13 durability tests & being impressed by how freaking durable they were from falls. Guess that's gone out of the window. But hey, T I T A N I U M.
I think they tried that. But if they don't add titanium, maybe no one will apply to buy (15) because there is almost no difference. They used titanium for marketing
Not sure why they would though. What real world application does a bend test show? Can't remember any time my phone was stressed in that way. A drop test would've been more interesting to see.
The back only cracks when it's bent, but withstands way more force when it falls or it's thrown against something, which is more frequent way your phone might get damaged. The titanium just won't bend, which applies too much pressure on the back plate, which instead of bending has to shatter now, but on the other hand it's way more durable when it comes to falling from your pocket on a marble floor or something.
@@sm7085 Phones dont bend like that when they fall from your hand, the bend test doesnt represent drop impact resistance. A phone that performs amazing in a bend test could very easily break from a 1-2ft drop.
That was a surprise to see the back glass fail so quickly. Especially without any frame breaks. I do wonder if you just got unlucky there but nonetheless, it was a fail for durability testing. Be interesting to see drop tests with them. If it is a rigidity issue with the titanium, I would think the glass will also break quicker than expected in those impact scenarios too.
@@sotongmenari3759 being a softer metal the max would have more rooms to flex. But if the internal structure isn’t titanium and the same as every other iPhone then I would have thought it would still be structurally strong. As strong if not stronger than the aluminium models. It would be interesting to see so more tests. There was also another comment about the new single piece of back glass used creating structural weakness that even Apple apparently mentioned somewhere. If they were aware then someone will be sweating when they see Zach’s video 😰
I watched a back glass removal of the iPhone 15 Pro and I think the back glass broke because there’s a circular hole in the frame for the wireless charger right where he pressed his thumbs into.
Wow, shocked at how easily this phone scratches and cracks, didn’t see that coming. On a side note, I’m really tired of the boring muted colors they keep doing for the pro models. Would really like to see something fun like bringing back rose gold or something.
Send them a “feedback” on their site. I’m sick of their pro model colours this year.. they went with grayscale.. SERIOUSLY ARE THEY HIGH? Where the FUCK is product red!!!!
That rear glass break is worrying. I often keep my phone in the back pocket of my jeans and whenever I kneel down, there is a lot of bend-pressure on the phone. I don't think the iPhone 15 Pro Max will survive my normal usage.

@@deangregoric4735 the thing is alot of other glass phones survived that test. Also it's also bad since your phone will be on a situation where you can accidently bend it even just a little. Situations like putting it in your pocket or a bag.
@@REALMARCHINADER "even just a little" thats guy hands were literally shaking and i don't see other phone with glass on back that didn't break even 14 broke am not sure why people now act surprised
So, looking through Apples training courses I think I know why the back broke, around the section of the failure under the glass panel is a hole in the “mid frame” where the wireless charging coil sits and I think that was enough depth for the glass to be compromised and break, and the reason it didn’t on the pro is because it’s smaller and overall less flex then the bigger version.
I think it is as simple as glass is not flexible, and likely thin. It doesn’t bend, it shatters. Also, titanium has less deflection than aluminum, meaning that the glass will face greater impact and stress forces relative to an aluminum frame that might absorb more energy on impact
how about no? even after all that abuse, phone was still intact, functioning, and _not_ bent. The cracked back glass is only an optical defect, and can now be easily swapped.
@RandomUser2401 guys trust me, this major structural flaw that will cost customers hundreds of dollars even though it wasn't a fault in previous iphones is fiiiiiine
@@RandomUser2401 a $200 part is not an easy swap. This is something that could easily happen on accident. It’s a failure. That said the post your replying too is actually a joke… why are you ruining it with miserable comments.
My personal take on durabilty tests are if you try to break a phone, the phone is going to break. While yeah, you could compare it to previous phones and say this one is weaker or this one is stronger, it all comes down to how you take care of your phone. Videos I would like to see are how the phone wears and tears over time when used by the average user. Nonetheless, great video! :)
Been watching your iPhone videos for several years now and I've always given them a like. This time, however, it's only fair to write a comment and say yours are some of the very best no-nonsense videos on TH-cam. Excellent job all round.
It takes 14 hours because the PVD process is just a very slow process. Basically whatever material being used is vaporized into a cloud and then your part has to sit and rotate in that cloud while it’s all bonded together. I used to work in PVD coating for airplane parts

I was like a kid a Christmas. Zack over here like "the more conflated apple's marketing is vs perception, the more precise the tools we test with 😏" 😂 we're here for it!!
4:21 that hurts so much
Yes a lot 😢
No matter how many of these videos I’ve watched I still find it horrifying to watch the phones getting destroyed 😅
What you should be horrified about is the fact that Apple forces China to make their phones with child slave labor.
As a person who buys a phone maybe every 3 or 4 years, yeah I am not overly fond of these videos.
Yeah, makes my skin crawl
skin doesn't crawl..@@malfeitor1
Gives me joy when it's an iPhone lol
Yikes! I thought Samsung went the "cheap" route choosing grade 2 titanium, but then I saw this. Maybe they thought their choice through from a mechanical engineering point of view a little more thoroughly.
''We have a brand new USB-C cable.. I imagine the world will soon follow Apple's lead on this one and we'll start seeing this port everywhere'' kinda flew under the radar 😂😂 you can miss it easily. But Apple deserves it
The stupid thing is the USB-C spec allows alternate modes. Two devices connected via USB-C can negotiate to use the USB data wires to carry signals other than USB. That's how HDMI, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt (which is just PCIe) over USB-C work. Apple could easily have made a Lightning alternate mode and put a USB-C port on its phones 8 years ago, without losing compatibility with pre-existing Lightning devices.
yes
this was exactly what i was wondering, i was like hol'up what'd i just hear??
It didn't fly under the radar, most likely Apple users genuinely agreed with his statement since they don't know any better
of cause they could and also they could add USB 3 specs to the normal version of iPhones but unfortunately they do not care about it because that makes less money@@solandri69
Plus they had to add USB-C port to iphones mostly because of the new EU rules, not by their will.
“And if you don’t know what that means you’ll be just fine with either” has me smiling ear to ear 😂

Jerry popped that Pro Max of no time at all. This was a great review, practical.
Practical? How many times in everyday life have you put two pressure points on the back of your phone and tried to flex it?
@@muchidromedary.7368 Lean over a table with your phone in your pocket and you could easily create that exact scenario, or accidently sit on it with it in your back pocket. If your work is labour intensive the possibilities are nearly endless.
@muchidromedary.7368 Anything can happen where pressure is placed on your phone, life isn't perfect. It may fall between a car's seat, it may be in your back pocket and you sit on something, it may be in your pocket and you lean against something. These aren't wild ideas but now you risk shattering your glass.
New view here. In your experience would the back glass breaking be consistent across all pro maxs. Is it possible it was a fluke?

Meh, the fact that cracks are all unique means this is just really great modern art, like a Jackson Pollack painting made out of broken gorilla glass😂jk
Its a design feature mostly will say...
The glass cracks because that's the only thing that makes iPhone users unique from each other.
wym by design? broken glass is a safety hazard
@josephmuema7916 well safety isn't as important as a cool unique design
That silence after the snap said everything. Whoaa.. This hasn't happened to any phone recently. This might be their gig to offer repairability at a lower rate but more frequently.
basically. they sayin " you want to repair your phone so much ? go repair it every 5 mins"
You do know that this is a benefit; don’t you? Same as a crumple zone in a car… the glass has absorbed all the energy of the impact; so the titanium frame was uncompromised.
It means you can just buy a new back glass than a whole new phone because the frame is bent out of shape.
But then again, if you thought about it with common sense, you wouldn’t be able to use your “apple bad” comment

@@abhishekparmar6702but the pro didn’t crack lol
I'm not surprised that there are complaints already about scratched phones. Not only does it seem pretty effortless, the scratches are also really noticeable
yeah the coating is terrible. Not that I'm an engineer who would know anything about it, but I wonder why they even offer alternative color options to the natural finish when the coating comes off so easily. Their excuses to not color the titanium itself don't really hold up when compromising the durability of the colored phone's coating
What percentage of iPhone users buy a cover and add a screen protector? It defeats the issues.
@@sosuaevents That shouldn't be a solution for a phone that expensive. Also, if this scratches easily, even a little kernel of sand may scratch your phone WHILE in the case. So say goodbye to your research value, cause these issues will still happen
That's why they made "natural titanium" an option in the first place, and also why they made the back glass so easily removable:
Apple knew these things would be an issue and instead of designing a better phone where these things wouldn't happen they just said "lol" and ignored them
I've got the natural titanium exactly because I was expecting the coating to be scratch able. Titanium is hard to coat.
I bet that engineers were forced to apply a coating because of the design and marketing team telling that it MUST have color options.

@@yashthakar9441 so they are aware of the problem but their solution is less expensive replacements?
@@Nohraz No. They'll just shift to another market. Gamers did this with Nvidia GPUs and Nvidia doubled down and moved further into the AI market. They make more money, and you get nothing.
I think they may have built weak glass as it is easily repairable so Apple can earn more in replacements.
Epsecially, blue ones are very sensitive. Mine just drop from a 30cm, on wooden panel and just a little ones occurs (paint is easy to scratch). So, besides its a very good phone. Hopefully, they will change frame in iP16.

Everyone would have expected the use of titanium to be as resistant as the stainless steel used on the iPhone 14 Pro/Max and instead they only reduced the weight by 20 grams and made the smartphone more delicate. This is probably due to the fact that the frame is not completely made of titanium but aluminum and titanium (used exclusively for the side edge). 🙁
It might be the edge that are different and hold less the black glass structure as well - more than the titanium
What are you yabbering about. thats not what it is
Grade 5 titanium or Ti-6Al-4V (6% aluminium) is actually stronger than pure titanium.
That clear case internal skin combo looks sick

But if they don't add titanium, maybe no one will apply to buy (15) because there is almost no difference.
They used titanium for marketing
Not sure why they would though. What real world application does a bend test show? Can't remember any time my phone was stressed in that way. A drop test would've been more interesting to see.

Apple's favorite lesbian aunt, Tim Cook will be glad this vid came out.

The back only cracks when it's bent, but withstands way more force when it falls or it's thrown against something, which is more frequent way your phone might get damaged. The titanium just won't bend, which applies too much pressure on the back plate, which instead of bending has to shatter now, but on the other hand it's way more durable when it comes to falling from your pocket on a marble floor or something.
@@sm7085 Phones dont bend like that when they fall from your hand, the bend test doesnt represent drop impact resistance. A phone that performs amazing in a bend test could very easily break from a 1-2ft drop.

That was a surprise to see the back glass fail so quickly. Especially without any frame breaks.
I do wonder if you just got unlucky there but nonetheless, it was a fail for durability testing.
Be interesting to see drop tests with them. If it is a rigidity issue with the titanium, I would think the glass will also break quicker than expected in those impact scenarios too.
Either there's a faulty or because of the dimension, 15 pro max is bigger so it cracks more easily than 15 pro
@@sotongmenari3759 being a softer metal the max would have more rooms to flex. But if the internal structure isn’t titanium and the same as every other iPhone then I would have thought it would still be structurally strong. As strong if not stronger than the aluminium models.
It would be interesting to see so more tests.
There was also another comment about the new single piece of back glass used creating structural weakness that even Apple apparently mentioned somewhere. If they were aware then someone will be sweating when they see Zach’s video 😰
I watched a back glass removal of the iPhone 15 Pro and I think the back glass broke because there’s a circular hole in the frame for the wireless charger right where he pressed his thumbs into.

@@deangregoric4735 admit it mark, it breaks easily 😂!!
So, looking through Apples training courses I think I know why the back broke, around the section of the failure under the glass panel is a hole in the “mid frame” where the wireless charging coil sits and I think that was enough depth for the glass to be compromised and break, and the reason it didn’t on the pro is because it’s smaller and overall less flex then the bigger version.
We''ll see that in Jerry's teardown video.
The max is quite literally too big for itself and this suggests the phone is structurally unsound
Shouldn’t that be true for all previous pro maxes?
I think it is as simple as glass is not flexible, and likely thin. It doesn’t bend, it shatters.
Also, titanium has less deflection than aluminum, meaning that the glass will face greater impact and stress forces relative to an aluminum frame that might absorb more energy on impact
