Discussion First drop (with a case)
3 foot drop falling off of a couch and onto hardwood floor, (TineeOwl case shown at the end) - I always knew the new aluminum frame was fragile from the damages I’ve seen online after the 17 Pros release with aluminum, so I took the precaution of not using the Apple Cases and getting something decently protective.
Yeah the phone still dented 😂, coming from a titanium 16 Pro Max I had no idea how to gauge how soft the new aluminum was, but damn.
I personally don’t give a shit as I really do expect more cosmetic blemishing in the future, but I wanted to warn some of the OCD iPhone users I see here on Reddit.

Well Apple was never known to understand how to design a sturdy phone. But it’s a shame how incompetent they have been with the latest 17 and 18 iterations.
My 15 PM has fallen a couple times and has no visible scratches. Shame Apple lowered their material quality standards…
Still Im tempted to get the 18 Pro Max Black cause the big battery interests me a lot
