A brutal durability test in which an iPhone 13 Pro received multiple blows from a hefty hammer produced a surprised result. Until it didn’t …
Another new iPhone means another brutal durability test from device-destroying YouTuber TechRax. The star of this particular video is the iPhone 13 Pro, which, like the iPhone 12 Pro, includes a tough Ceramic Shield display, stainless steel sides, and a glass back. Apple claims its Ceramic Shield display, developed by New York-based Corning, offers an improved drop performance by a factor of four compared to previous versions of the handset. As TechRax likes to do things a little differently, he decides to forgo the traditional drop test where you release the phone from a particular height to see how it deals with the impact. Instead, his test involves hitting the display with a three-pound hammer. For sure, this is not a real-world scenario, as few people are likely to suddenly drop a hammer onto an iPhone display during the course of a typical day.
