A new drop test stars the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Which one does better? It depends on a few factors.
I picked up my iPhone 16 Plus protective screen and case even before I got the new phone. I was already aware of the first iPhone 16 drop tests, which proved what I had suspected all along: We still haven't quite reached indestructible glass. Yes, the new iPhone 16 models feature a second-generation Ceramic Shield glass cover. But it won't survive certain accidents any better than the previous version.
The titanium gets scratched when the phone falls on the corner. The Galaxy S24 Ultra's rectangular corners will see more scuffs than the iPhone's curved corners. Damage to the Galaxy S24 display might also impact the functionality of the built-in fingerprint sensor. On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro Max ends up with a cracked lens on the back, while the Ultra's cameras are safe. Both phones continue to work after the display cracks.
