iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro first drop from waist high, both nearly unscathed
Kohl performed a series of dropped tests on an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro and the results were astonishing. He was simply holding the two phones, and dropping them at the same time on a concrete floor from different heights.
During the first few drops, the iPhone 14 Pro suffered minor damages, but the iPhone 15 Pro‘s black glass shattered a little and the camera lens was also impacted.
As the tests went on and Kohl stood on a bench to torture the phones even more, the iPhone 15 Pro started spider webbing on the back and two of its lenses were severely damaged. The iPhone 14 Pro, on the other hand, only got some chips on the sides and there was some minor impact on the lenses, but it looked as good as new. When dropped screen down from a height of about 15 feet, the iPhone 15 Pro‘s screen became white at the bottom and its back was wrecked. The iPhone 14 Pro, meanwhile, had not had a single crack.
After drop 13 from a height of about 15 feet, the iPhone 15 Pro’s screen lost some functionality
Kohl then dropped the phones from a height of 20 feet and that was enough to suck out all life from the iPhone 15 Pro. The camera array as well as the area surrounding it came off and the screen completely stopped working. The iPhone 14 Pro‘s back also shattered at this point and its screen developed some cracks, but the phone remained fully functional.
While this was a fun experiment, keep in mind that it was not performed under controlled circumstances, so it’s best not to make definitive conclusions here. That said, Kohl dropped the phones a total of 15 times, and each time, the iPhone 14 Pro fared better, which cannot be a coincidence.
