Foldable Phones Outlast iPhones in Drop Tests, But Still Shatter on Concrete

iPhone 15 Pro Max, Galaxy Z Fold5, Pixel Fold and Galaxy S23 Ultra shattered in drop tests by Allstate Protection Plans. iPhones broke on first drop.

Foldable phones withstood 2 drops before shattering due to raised lip around interior display edge.

Back glass shattered immediately on iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S23 Ultra in back-down drops.

Tests show little improvement in iPhone durability over the years despite Apple's upgrades.

Dropping a smartphone made of glass onto concrete often leads to shattering regardless of precautions.
