it home reported on september 21 that sam kohl, the host of the youtube channel appletrack, released a video yesterday (september 20).the iphone 16 pro was drop tested in australia and compared with the iphone 15 pro.

it home attaches cole's views as follows:

on the iphone 16 pro, i feel like there is an issue because the bezels are so thin.

therefore, the 16 pro's display panel becomes very fragile when subjected to impacts such as corner impacts or other impacts that barely touch the edge of the screen, and is significantly more fragile than the 15 pro.

during additional testing, sam found that damage to the iphone 16 pro was "less severe overall" than on the iphone 15 pro.

another youtube channel, techrax, also used a hammer and a knife to conduct a durability test on the iphone 16 pro, but the video was more inclined to violent destruction and has little practical significance.
