Hello, I’m interested in purchasing an iPhone 15 pro max, I have seen online that this model breaks very easily (back glass breaks with minimal pressure- JerryRigsEverything video). Has anyone else experienced this?

I disagree.
In his videos, he compared it to the iPhone 14, same tests. Significant difference in durability. In fact, the 14 did not break and with more pressure.
Yes, it was deliberately destroyed, 1 test at a time… I’m unaware how else you’d test durability. However, the first test was the back glass. The rest of the tests followed, and most praised.
A LOT of other videos have emerged as well. Popular Mac forums have published articles too. Same observations, and more with the camera falling off after a decent fall. Never in the history of iPhones has this happened, under extreme falls (Off Rooftops).
Pure speculation; I believe it’s a design flaw related to the back glass now being removable, and it will probably be fixed on the iPhone 16.
OP:
If you still get the 15… you’ll probably like it. But take extra precautions. Like a lanyard 😂.
My opinion, find an iPhone 14. It will cost less, performance comparisons are negligible (see tests online), and it has superior durability.
I totally agree with you and the bad part is that Apple makes us pay to get it fixed even if your still with in the warranty of the phone, I would rather have my 13 pro max back
was this the regular 15 pro or pro max ??

It is a same case like mine.
Has anyone been successful in getting apple to replace the back glass? This seems like a defect mine is shattered and it's been in the case since I got it.

I kindly request a response to this letter to confirm the arrangements for a replacement device. I am willing to provide any additional information or documentation that may be required to facilitate this process.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue amicably and continuing to support Apple in the future.
This is a user-to-user technical support forum. No one here can replace your phone. Apple's participation here is limited largely to making sure people follow the rules.
If you want to address the matter with Apple, I'd suggest you start here:

Same looks like mine
Same here bro. I honestly don't know how mine one broke. I have a phone case that even covers the cameras and a tempered glass on the front
Like this one? This IPhone won't last even with this case
Titanium my ***. Most durable my ***. Apple finna tend to this. Or it’s gonna be their ***.
I have not dropped my phone or anything.. my phone is cracked on the backside
Yes I do agree!
my iPhone 14 pro max has smashed completely and it was in a case!
Apple want £558 to replace it!
Anyone know if the glass back is available for replacement yet? UbreakIFix says another 3 or 4 months before OEM glass back is available. 😢
i didn't even think about that. Thank you! I have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow.
You're welcome and good luck with the repair!
