Apple, with the launch of the latest iPhone 12 models, made one of the largest year-over-year upgrades for its devices in terms of durability. The Cupertino tech giant worked with global glass manufacturer, Corning to introduce the new protective layer for its iPhones — the “Ceramic Shield”. Now, an insurance company tested out its results and termed the latest iPhone the most durable smartphone they ever tested.
The iPhones underwent two drop tests, each onto a concrete footpath, from a height of 6 feet. Both the devices worked fine after the drop tests, although they did show some cracks on the screens. Now, the cracks on the iPhone 12 were negligible. However, the 12 Pro cracked badly following the first drop. Screenshot from AllState’s video
Allstate said, “the iPhone 12 is the most durable smartphone we have ever tested”. They further went on to add, “Its ceramic shield is a leap forward for durability, although not indestructible.”
