Testing of the iPhone 16 Pro smartphone showed the vulnerability of the new ultra-thin frames

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are already on the market, and with them the first strength tests appeared. During the tests, the potential weakness of the thinner frames of the iPhone 16 Pro during drops is noticeable. The functionality of the display is more affected by impacts from the side, although the screen itself does not crack or break.

«THERE IS A CERTAIN PROBLEM WITH THE iPHONE 16 PRO – THE FRAMES ARE VERY THIN. WHEN IT RECEIVED AN CORNER IMPACT OR SOMETHING BARELY TOUCHING THE EDGE OF THE SCREEN, THE 16 PRO'S DISPLAY APPEARS TO BE MUCH FRAGILE THAN THE 15 PRO».

Continuing the tests, the expert concluded that overall damage to the iPhone 16 Pro was "much smaller" than its predecessor iPhone 15 Pro.

TechRax also tested the strength of the iPhone 16 Pro using a hammer and a knife. As expected, there are no significant differences from previous models. The titanium frames of the iPhone 16 Pro can be scratched with a knife, and the back and the screen will break when hit with a hammer.

We will continue to update this article as new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro teardown and durability tests become available.
