iPhone 14 Pro Max vs. Galaxy S22 Ultra Drop Test!

So we finally get the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the first

test

, of course, is the

drop

test

where we

drop

it side by side against its biggest competitor, the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Now we take a look at the specifications sheet that the iPhone has. some clear advantages it has a flat design compared to the Galaxy's curved edge it has stainless steel over the Galaxy's aluminum armor and Apple still claims the ceramic shield is the toughest glass on any smartphone, regardless of whether that actually Whether or not it matters in the case of a drop, well there's only one way to find out, but before I do, I want to say a big thank you to the sponsor of today's video at casedify, who sent this special package with three new cases for the iPhone 14 series , we have the impact case which is drop proof from 8.2 feet, we have the

ultra

impact case which is drop proof from 11 and a half feet and then we have the bounce case which takes things to the next level with 21.3 feet of drop protection now to make these levels of drop protection possible without the cases being very bulky.

The cases are lined with Case Defy's eco shock material. In fact, they sent us a big old block to test with a competing material and after dropping metal balls on these blocks, the difference is huge. with the ecoshock material just transferring all that energy with the ball barely bouncing in comparison and although we weren't asked to do this we just had to drop the blocks where again the ecoshock material just absorbs all that impact perfectly now on top of all these ecoshock cases they have raised bezels and rings around the cameras and the

ultra

impact has this tornado design on the corners for extra protection, while the bounce case not only has this x shape on the back which helps distribute the impact, but it also has these bounces.

The upward-facing corners look like something you'd see on a pair of sneakers, so rather than just talking about that, we'll put this case to the test, putting a new iPhone 14 Pro Max inside and dropping it in with the others. phones. To see how much difference it really makes, let's go straight to bottom number one in three, two, one after that bottom from just under five feet. The good news is that both phones still work, but the bad news is that they both have their back glass broken, it definitely looks worse on the iPhone than on the Galaxy, with the cracks on the iPhone all over the place, while on the Galaxy most of the damage is on the left side, but the big story here is the iPhone.

The main camera also broke where this didn't happen last year with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, so I don't know if this is just bad luck or if it's because the new iPhone's camera housing sticks out more this year, but either way manner. Definitely not the best results right now, the good news for the iPhone is that the camera itself seems to be working well, we'll keep an eye on it for sure as we go, but for now it's a clear win for the

galaxy

. round number one of course with the bounce case, the other iPhone 14 pro max we are testing is perfectly fine, the raised ring around the camera housing was able to protect all those lenses and although the case had some marks As you'd expect from anything that falls on the concrete under the case, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is still perfect, so it's exactly the kind of result you'd want in a $1,100, round number two, corner phone. , three, two, one after the corner.

None of the phones escape unscathed. Both phones suffer from some scratches on the corners, where it appears that the scratches on the Galaxy's aluminum are a little deeper compared to the iPhone's stainless steel; However, on the iPhone the back glass now looks even worse than before with chunks of glass missing right there at the point of impact, where in this deep purple color it turns out that the iPhone has some blue underneath, which is cool , but overall this is too close to call, so it's a tie for round number two, the bounce case. On the other hand, it had a nice, soft landing thanks to these air cavities and the compression ribs here in the corners where even the case itself barely has any visible damage, which is kind of surprising, of course, under the case is what does matters. where the iPhone is still in perfect condition, so a very good result here round number three face fall three two one oh man so after that face fall from almost five feet the screens of both phones are definitely broken It looks worse on the Galaxy with the cracks webning across the entire screen, while on the iPhone the damage is mostly on the top, which is a bit worrying since that area is where the actual depth sensor is. for Face ID, but somehow Face ID still seems to be working fine, unfortunately the same can't be said for the Galaxy fingerprint scanner, where after multiple attempts it just doesn't register a fingerprint and keeps showing us this popup asking us let's clean the screen, so it's a clear victory for the iPhone in round number three. for the bounce case, well it looks like that eco-friendly shock material combined with the raised lip that surrounds the entire phone helped the iPhone 14 pro max survive without any issues, the case itself looks clean and of course underneath, the iPhone still looks good as new bonus round, so these phones have been through a lot and all the drops we've done so far have been from higher up, almost five feet, so this time we'll just do one drop more directly on the steel.

And we ended up on day three, two, one after that brutal bonus drop, we had pieces of glass flying everywhere where, while the phones technically survived, they look worse, while the iPhone with the bouncing case, its screen It still remains completely intact with the case. Doing its job, now looking closer, the

galaxy

screen suffered some dead pixels on the bottom right and got completely crushed and although the front glass of the iPhone looks pretty much the same, the back glass keeps getting worse and now it has some deep grooves on the top right here and something we noticed after doing the full inspection, the cracks that the iPhone initially suffered around the camera, both front and back, are causing a bit of widening, it's not so bad on the rear camera where you can only see it.

This is noticeable when the light hits it directly, but on the selfie camera it is much more noticeable, so it is not the best result for any of the phones in the bonus round, unless, of course, we are talking about the iPhone with the rebound case, where even after that brutal fall. on steel, the case itself looks good and, more importantly, the iPhone underneath looks the same as when we first unboxed it, so with four rounds in the books, let's take a look at the scorecard where the galaxy engraved the iPhone in round numbers. one, the phone is tied in round number two, the iPhone had the advantage of being fully functional in round number three and neither phone really stood out in round number four, making this a tie overall , so I would definitely get a case if you're worried. about leaving your phone and if you go to caseify.combuff you can get 15 off your order, from prints to personalization.

There really is something for everyone. I'll put all the links you need below in the description. Many thanks again to Fuego case for sponsoring today's video. Thanks for watching and as always, see you in the next episode.
