Drop Test Showdown: Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra – Who Comes Out On Top?

Apple and Samsung go head-to-head in the latest drop test battle, with the brands represented by the new iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Drop tests can be brutal and are definitely not recommended for consumers to try out their device when they spend lakhs to buy them.

But drop tests are of great interest, and what better content than to see how Apple’s new premium iPhone stacks up against the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Apple has used a new titanium coating on the iPhone 15 Pro models, which is claimed to be robust, durable and pushes heat out. But the reports have clearly shown us the flaws in the titanium body, which seems to be easy to break. And the Apple vs Samsung drop test showed us these issues again.

That’s not to say that Samsung had an easy ride, as both the phone saw its front and back glass shatter on its first drop as well. Things got a little interesting after the iPhone 15 Pro Max saw cracks expand easily and faster, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra manages to hold its own and break in small amounts.

Apple already has problems with the new iPhone 15 Pro models heating up more than usual. The company has addressed the issue and explained that some third-party apps have been causing excessive heating. And now, seeing an iPhone costing Rs 1,60,000 falling to pieces would not improve people’s confidence in the new model.

Despite this, Apple seems to be laughing its way to the bank with the new iPhones, as according to estimates, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is likely to be the company’s best-seller in the coming quarters. Apple has already seen high demand for the Pro Max variant in markets like India. While Samsung continues to tinker with its flagship phones and foldable phone line-up, it’s building a range of products that Apple doesn’t yet offer.
