After havingcompared Samsung's iPad Pro and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, now is the time to compare the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple's new high-end mobile phone was recently presented, with Gorilla Glass protection for the screen. But according to the YouTube channel PhoneBuff, accustomed to this type of solidity test, the American phone does not always hold up to its Korean counterpart. We therefore see that scratches easily appear on the panel if its owner mishandles it. Of course, this is also the case for the Samsung.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is entitled to many other advantages, to cope with violent shocks. Apple notably chose to design the device's chassis in titanium. This is a material that is often more solid than stainless steel iniPhone 14 Pro Max, even if this is debatable. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra all have an aluminum frame – like the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14.
How to properly protect your iPhone?
To protect the iPhone against falls, Apple offers AppleCare+ insurance available when purchasing the device. This offers a certain franchise in the event of screen breakage. A subscription also helps you if your smartphone is lost or stolen.
Otherwise, Apple obviously offers its own protective cases in silicone or with the new modelFine weave. This replaces the leather editions available for many years. This could be an objective choice for the apple company to get closer to its ambition of moving to zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Livestock farming indeed generates significant quantities of CO2, not to mention the enormous water expenses of this sector of activity.
