Bend Test - iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro

Bend Test - iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 26 Pro
Approx 20lbs pressure applied with thumbs ( thumbs previously checked on a scale)
Wife said Desert Titanium reminded her of p••
She’s now getting a white iPhone 16 Pro Max.
I walked into the Apple Store without ordering and bought a 256gb Natural Titanium Pro - which was in stock in the back.
Right out of the sealed box SCREEN WAS BADLY SCRATCHED..
This was replaced with another which was carefully checked and at least cosmetically seemed perfect.
It’s ok, I’m making this video with the iPhone 16 Pro.
Do I miss the size of the old traded in (£570) iPhone 15 Pro Max - no. This is a better all round for me - there’s no way I would have that bigger 16 Pro Max in my pocket.
Belkin Screen protector- fitted perfectly in store - flawless.
Apple black case - good for not having a hole in the case side as the case fitted button is flush.
It must feel terrible to your fingers to have a third party case with a big hole in the side.)
I see the Apple case being on for the phone for 6 months or so until there are wider choices of third party cases with flush, integrated camera buttons.
I was rattled about quality control though with that badly scratched screen on a new iPhone 16 pro right out of a sealed box..
I turned the new camera button off permanently after a few hours use due to repeated triggering the camera with my fingers, when holding the phone firmly in my left hand. This is in the Apple case.
Hope you enjoyed this video!
