Apple on walnut: iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro tested for walnuts and drops durability

For the experiment, they took iPhone 12 and iPhone 12Pro and simply threw them onto the concrete floor from different heights. Both smartphones withstood falls from waist height (that is, from a trouser pocket) and human height with dignity: only scratches appeared on the metal frame and several damaged pixels on the iPhone 12 Pro screen.

The decisive factor was a fall from a height of 3 meters.The iPhone 12's camera stopped working, and when thrown with the back cover down, the glass of both models cracked. As it turns out, the front glass of gadgets is stronger than the back glass.

In another video, smartphones were checkedwith a special device that pressed on the screen, gradually increasing the force. The ceramic safety glass withstood an applied force of 442 Newtons before breaking. For comparison, last year's iPhone 11 withstood 352 Newtons.

And reviewers with humor came up with something more interestingThe test is to use an iPhone as a nutcracker. The iPhone 12 handled several walnuts without damaging the glass, but a green line appeared on the display.
