A new generation of Ceramic Shield proved no match for gravity in the latest instance of iPhone 16 durability testing. Drop-testing on the iPhone 16 Pro Max by Allstate Protection Plans found that the 6.9-inch display on the new phone suffers some super-sized damage when dropped face-first on concrete.
Allstate, which sells insurance for mobile devices like the new iPhones, has been running breakability tests for 13 years now. And while phone durability has changed a lot in that time, the effect that 6-foot drops can have on glass devices really hasn't.
