Have you seen or read about the 15 Pro/Max being more fragile? Some commenters suggest that the more rigid titanium chassis makes the glass more susceptible to cracking.

I’ve never bought AC+ or any sort of insurance for my phones, only a case, but I’m getting uncomfortable…

Are any of you case users actually worried? I’d estimate that I drop my phone a handful of times each year onto bedroom carpet or bathroom tile, usually from waist height.

      Defects can happen to a single unit… sometimes to a famous YouTuber. And only the pro max did it, not the pro.

      I’d want to see others repeat the test.

      Despite the downvotes, you have a point. Sure, it’s only 1 data point for this particular model, and the pressure applied isn’t a measured force that’s been kept consistent across models. But assuming that applied pressure has been relatively consistent over the years and that Jerry’s hand muscles haven’t gotten significantly stronger since the 14 series, there’s a bit of concern.
