I am familiar with this guy and supposedly can’t be bought. The titanium 15 Pro phone came out ahead of the SS 14 Pro in a “real world” durability test. This is the same guy who broke the fine woven case issue.


For those that think everyone is just beating up on the new phones…
 
I’m not sure how ‘“real world” a test that was, don’t think I’ve ever dropped a kettle bell on any of my phones. Whichever model you have, take reasonable care of it and it’s durability will be just fine.

This was toward the end but this is the first time I have seen titanium actually live up to its expectation in an iphone.


Instead of dropping it on top or the bottom glass, he actually deliberately hammered the phones on the sides to test the strength of the titanium vs, stainless steel and the titanium was stronger as expected. The other videos just concentrated on the glass breaking. Those dents on the side told the truth between the two metals!
