David Hanak If you're a regular smartphone follower, the JerryRigEverything channel doesn't need much introduction. In it, the author (among other things) focuses on durability tests of newly introduced models. Of course, he couldn't miss the new iPhone 11 and subjected the most expensive variant, 11 Pro Max, to his torture. However, a vocal critic of Apple was very surprised this year and praised Apple more than once…

Dan Pražák A traditional durability test using tools with ten degrees of hardness revealed that glass is still glass (no matter how Apple wraps it in all possible superlatives) and the iPhone's screen can thus be scratched roughly by a tool with a tip hardness of No. 6. So it is an identical result , as with all previous iPhones and no big revolution is taking place. What has changed is the resistance of the glass on the back of the phone. It has, thanks to the textured surface, much more resistance to scratches, and this part of the phone really lasts longer than ever before.
On the contrary, the glass covering the camera lenses is still there. Partly positive may be that Apple has (finally) stopped calling it sapphire when it is not real sapphire. In terms of durability, the lens cover is about the same as the display.
What was successful, on the other hand, is the phone's chassis, which is made of stainless steel and therefore very resistant to both falls and bending. The structural strength of the new iPhone 11 Pro is thus very high, and there is no risk of "bendgate" in these models. Another very positive step forward is the improvement of the insulation of the phone, which still has "only" IP68 certification, but compared to competitors, it was tested in twice as demanding conditions.

The phone's display is heat resistant (don't try it at home), it's not too hot with drop resistance (see more tests on YouTube). There is some progress in terms of durability, but it is nothing earth-shattering. The back of the iPhone is not so easily scratched, the front has not changed. When your novelty falls to the ground, the result will be more about luck (or bad luck) than durability per se.
