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 had the iPhone 13 previously and not once did the back or front of my phone break!"
In terms of the back of the phones, the iPhone 13's were stainless steel, not glass like the 14 and 15.
100%! Let’s hope!!
Mine too!! Like I just got iPhone 15+ last March 2024. Am just wondering how it got similar cracks when I have not even dropped it. Should it be replaced?
No, Apple won't repair or replace user damaged phones.
I also want to repair my back glass I want to know if there’s any success functioning after the repair
Mine broke completely from just a short drop. It had a good case on it.
I have a fifteen plus, is it more durable than the pro? I’m too afraid to test, this is my only phone and I don’t want to break it
It’s pretty Strong
Yup I dropped mine on a carpeted surface and my back glass shattered.
I want to know the same because my new iphone15 looks terrible with the broken back glass. Is it covered during the warranty period?
Sorry, the warranty only covers manufacturers defects, not consumer damage.

Hello Jerry rig evering My Name is Shubhanshu i am indian explain me more durability question of iPhone 15 Pro Series
These is no “back glass” on the iPhone 15 pro or the 15 Pro Max. The case is made of titanium, not glass. So anyone who has said different is full of it.
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a significant concern regarding the durability of the iPhone 15, which I recently purchased from Apple. As a long-time supporter and consumer of Apple products, I have always held the company in high regard for its commitment to quality and innovation. However, my recent experience with the iPhone 15 has left me deeply disappointed and concerned.
On Sep 2023, my iPhone 15, which was equipped with a protective case as all my previous iPhones have been, suffered an unexpected and severe damage. The device slipped from my pocket and fell to the ground, landing face first. To my dismay, despite the protective case, the entire back of the phone shattered, along with the glass around the camera lenses. Remarkably, the front of the device remained unscathed, indicating a significant discrepancy in durability between the front and back panels.
This incident has led me to question the unquestionable durability claims that are often associated with Apple products. In comparison to my previous iPhones, which have endured similar falls without sustaining such catastrophic damage, the fragility of the iPhone 15 is apparent. As a consumer who has invested considerable resources into Apple's ecosystem, I find it unacceptable that a flagship device would exhibit such a lack of resilience.
Therefore, I am formally requesting a replacement device from Apple. I believe that as a loyal customer who has faithfully supported the brand over the years, I am entitled to a product that meets the high standards of quality and durability that Apple is renowned for. I trust that Apple will honor this request and provide a satisfactory resolution to this matter.
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.
