iPhone 17 Pro Max Drop Test Outcomes: Glass Endures Every Impact, Even from High Drops

from MadMatt, presenting an unforeseen outcome. Both the front and back glass endured every drop from typical heights (knee to head height), with merely the aluminum frame showing scuffs depending on the impact zone.

At the conclusion of the evaluation, the YouTuber began tossing the iPhone 17 Pro Max into the air to test if he could induce the glass to shatter. It remained intact. The Ceramic Shield glass on both the front and back withstood being tossed and landing on concrete. The iPhone 17 Pro Max continued to function. The cameras were unaffected. The only significant damage was to the aluminum frame, which sustained considerable wear. Nonetheless, the key takeaway is that the iPhone 17 Pro Max is far more robust than anticipated, as will be demonstrated below. The iPhone 16 series did not fare as well during initial drop tests nearly a year ago.
