This may sound bad… and certainly isn’t reassuring to hear. But as MacRumors points out in its coverage of the story, this is just a really hard test. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has glass on both front and back, and no glass-based smartphone has ever survived Allstate’s DropBot test.

Saturday, we spent the day out in the world with our son, so it was a good time to test the iPhone 16 Pro Max cameras and see what's changed.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the largest iPhone display thus far — now grown to 6.9 inches, thanks to its super-thin bezels. It has the rather awkward resolution of 1320 x 2868 pixels to achieve the sharp 460 pixels per inch. And it's still an OLED panel with a 1-120 Hz refresh rate, and 2,000 nit peak brightness.

While the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are equal in many ways, the Pro model has an internal difference compared to the Pro Max.

Processor: After a generation gap on the iPhone 15 and 14 models, the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models each have an A18 chip. The main difference is an extra GPU core on the A18 Pro, but most users are very unlikely to notice.

A new generation of Ceramic Shield proved no match for gravity in the latest instance of iPhone 16 durability testing. Drop-testing on the iPhone 16 Pro Max by Allstate Protection Plans found that the 6.9-inch display on the new phone suffers some super-sized damage when dropped face-first on concrete.

Even though the iPhone 16 doesn't a telephoto sensor, Apple discovered a way to somewhat compensate for this, so much so that you can reportedly get high-quality zoomed-in photos by up to 2X. Not as appealing as the 5X optical sensor on the iPhone 16 Pro models, but it'll do.

The Mizivn Wallet is a remarkable product that brings together style and function into one compact unit. Crafted with high-quality PU leather material, this case provides robust protection to your iPhone 14 Pro Max ensuring it remains safe from scratches and bumps during everyday use.
