The iPhone 15 Pro Max replaces the stainless steel body on the iPhone 14 Pro Max with a new titanium body, resulting in a lighter flagship phone, but at the expense of durability. A previous drop test showed that Apple's latest and greatest phone has the toughest exterior yet, and in the same test conducted by others, the Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to withstand the impact of its latest rivals.

In addition to being easily scratched, the iPhone 15 Pro Max also performed unsatisfactory in drop tests, as PhoneBuff proved in a series of drop tests. Apple and Samsung's flagship products fell from the same height, using a concrete slab as a landing point. The YouTube channel also showed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is ten times more durable on the four corners, front and back when protected by the CASETiFYBounce protective case. Sure, it might not be the cheapest accessory, but it’ll do a great job of protecting your shiny new phone.
In the first round of drop testing, where the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S 23 Ultra first came into contact with their backs on a cement board, Samsung's top smartphone won this round with its ability to absorb impact. Surprisingly, in the second round of drop testing, where both phones were dropped from corners where they came into contact with concrete slabs, the iPhone 15 Pro Max ultimately emerged victorious, despite previous testing showing that same corner was actually the weak point of the device.
Both phones suffered irreparable damage when they were dropped face-down, with visible cracks on their displays, although it should be noted that they remained fully functional despite multiple impacts. After four rounds of drop tests, the Galaxy S23 Ultra scored 39 points, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max scored 37 points. Galaxy S24 Ultra uses the rumored titanium body and will be available early next year. We will wait and see then.
