However, it’s also not indestructible and sometimes does glassy things like shatter into countless pieces when dropped.
That’s the finding of a recent AllState drop test withApple’s latest series of iPhones.
No iPhone has survived the Allstate Protection Plan’s drop test in more than a dozen years.
Obviously, AllState, which sells additional mobile rig protection, has some skin in the game here.
The results, though, are a bit dispiriting.
It was, as you would expect, fine.
I also put cases on both phones.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is currently in a lovely Speck case.
The iPhone 16 Pro is in a silicon case, which provides good protection.
I can promise you I was not carrying around the phone with a diamond or key in my pocket.
I am so careful, and yet there’s the scratch.
As I wrote last month, “It’s still far too easy to damage our precious phones.”
These tests are simply not conclusive.
Allstate used two different phones to trigger the front and back drop tests.
There is a chance that further tests would’ve yielded different results.
That’s why cases are so popular they’re the one way of stacking the odds in your favor.
I did ask Apple for comment and will update this post with their response.
