The base iPhone 16 is just as tough as the titanium Pro models.
When Apple boasted about the iPhone 16 being a tough cookie, it wasn’t kidding. While the iPhone 16 Pro passed the rigorous durability tests of YouTuber JerryRigEverything, questions remained about the base models. Good news, Apple users: the base model passed with flying colors.
Despite not having a titanium finish like its Pro counterparts, the iPhone 16 didn’t break during the famous bend test. This test is where Zack — a very well-built individual — tries to snap a phone in half with his bare hands. It might seem ridiculous but a lot of phones have failed to withstand the test and ended up looking like a foldable.
The screen also fared really well.
