What I would have liked to see is how waterproof it is after a small crack in the glass.

[@Thatguy60929]

Ist not at that point it will break

[@boomkruncher325zzshred5]

If anything waterproof gets a crack, unless it’s humongously overbuilt it will allow water through the crack. Just kinda common sense there, unless it’s something that’s designed to have a “flood compartment” in case of cracks so that the core electronics don’t fry if the outer shell cracks and leaks? That would cause stability issues though, because a normal window with no support on one side of the pane is prone to shattering, and the glass on the phones is at least supported by the internal structure and electronics making it less likely to spiderweb and shatter (but not by much, obviously)…. Or just a layer of waterproof rubber between the glass inside sides and the electronics within, but not bonded to the glass so that broken glass doesn’t take chunks of the rubber with it? But the rubber would HAVE to be bonded to the electronics below, right? Maybe by vacuum sealing? It would be an absolute BIRCH to repair, and it would screw over the thermals of the electronics too… after all, rubber IS a heat insulator, so heat would build up inside the phone way faster than a “standard” glass back, which means the electronics overheat and throttle their speeds faster, slowing the smartphone and making it more prone to thermal crashes over hours of use, and forcing it to take longer to cool because the rubber would retain the heat better… so that wouldn’t work… hmmm…. Yeah, I dunno. 🤷‍♂️

[@fbb-en3yi]

@@boomkruncher325zzshred5 chill out bro we get it

[@liamsz]

It would still work just fine! More of the waterproofing comes from coating the components inside the phone so they don’t get damaged when met with water, but if the water doesn’t evaporate fast enough it will damage the phone once the coating wears off. So I’m short, it would still work but it could die in a week or more

One thing to keep in mind is that every single time you drop something, it will land differently. Also, by the time Tyler dropped it from 6 feet, it was already very damaged, which likely made it do worse from those heights. Plus, most people will have a case/screen protector anyway. I think it's pretty harsh to say you don't recommend the phone at all based on putting it under extreme and unlikely circumstances. I used to be a staunch Apple hater and a huge Android fanboy, but then I got an iPhone and it's far better than any Android I ever had. It took me a while to get to that opinion, but it definitely is. The wifi issue is definitely a thing though. Otherwise, I've had no issues with it and love it.

Well the other thing is that you should compare the hardware with the hardware of an iPhone. Many androids with similar hardware (meaning similar ability to perform) are far cheaper than iPhones. Like the iPhone 13 is around $1,400. You could get some very similar performance with a phone at like half the cost in Android. Personally, I prefer Android, not for the cheapness of it, I just don't like that you can't really do any emulations or any kinds of real customizations on iPhone. Apple is fine for folks that have no idea what they're doing (like an old granny) because it's so restrictive, but I can't deal with that. Really if it weren't for the fact that Linux doesn't have GPU driver support, I wouldn't even use Windows on my computer.

[@hoteldelta2453]

@@point-five-oh6249you’re basing how good an iPhone is mostly on your own bias, emulating and customization doesn’t make android a better phone for everyone by default because for some people those things don’t matter, it’s just a niche, just like how for me iPhone is better PERSONALLY as the iOS system has an audio plug in framework that (without getting too deep into it) allows me to do a lot more in terms of music which would be impossible on the android operating system, again it’s a niche and just like how u personally prefer customization, I prefer having the plug in framework for music and sure you might get similar performance from a android half as expensive as an iPhone, but at the same time you’re sacrificing in a lot of other areas just for similar performance as an iPhone, I have yet to see androids at half the price match the iphones quality in terms of how it feels and the camera quality along with other factors, like the fact that androids have terrible quality control every single android I’ve owned even the more expensive ones have always ended up having an issue whether it’s something small like annoyances having to do with the androids operating system to more serious issues such as an exploded battery a few days after purchasing, there are just too many different types of androids that manufacturers can’t keep up with keeping a set standard for every phone of a certain model, a quick example is how 2 of my friends got z folds after switching back to androids and some how both of them had drastically different experiences in terms of quality of the phone, at the end of the day though there isn’t an objectively better phone, cause some people prefer the uniformity and the minimalistic approach of the iPhone and that’s not necessarily a bad thing nor does it mean only old people use it, some people just prefer their phone to be that, a phone, and not a handheld computer or gaming system personalized to the extreme

Hell it took me almost 48 hours to get my sim card from an apple phone to my Android because it didn't want to register it was in another device. It was my original sim card, it was never bought from Apple. Apple support basically told me the same thing that it was basically their sim card then and it'll take a while just to be able to use my own sim card so I had a useless phone for 2 days.

iPhone 11 user, general Apple fangirl here. They have focused a lot of their marketing on how strong the 13 is. I’ve had 3 iPhones (I don’t upgrade much.) I have never broken any of them. My iPhone 6 has no water resistance, but is plenty durable for me. Didn’t have a screen protector, and honestly I don’t really remember any major scratches aside from a weird issue with my home button. My 7 Plus lived it’s whole life with a screen protector. Broke multiple, but the phone was in brand new condition after many years of use. I did overheat that phone a couple times. By the time it was too hot to use, it was so hot you didn’t wanna use it 😂 also had some water resistance. My 11 lived the first year of it’s life without a screen protector, but there are I think 3 scratches in my screen and I now have a protector on it. No idea what caused them either. I only ever have put very slim cases on my phones, and all of them are fine. This 11 has been subjected to a lot, both extremely low temperatures (around 4 degrees Fahrenheit) and temperatures all the way up to a little over 100. I have overheated it, while standing in direct sunlight on a 100 degree day filming in 4k for 30 minutes. And Samsung devices of some friends doing the same shut down pretty much when mine did 😂 all our phones called it quits. I also have ridden roller coasters with it, one of which exerts forces of 5.9Gs, and the phone has never reacted to all that force, nor from drops. What’s more interesting is my Apple Watch. I had a Series 1 that I actually managed to crack. It took falling on concrete with all my weight landing directly on it to crack it, and even then it still works perfectly fine 3 years later, and the crack hasn’t gotten worse. All in all, I think devices are really getting so durable all around. I appreciate you testing the camera durability, it’s a concern of mine with such a thin case if I drop this and it lands on the cameras. I’m impressed!

Well steel is more structurally sound than aluminum. The aluminum bending is what usually causes screens to spider web. While glass is actually more "flexible" than people think. Keeping it in that state for to long means the glass can't be the form it wants to be and then goes boom

[@iwinrar5207]

I also want to add that's why plastic phones can usually take way more abuse then "premium" phones. The cheapness is whag saves it. That's why rugged phones are all rubber and plastic, if you want really durable do away with the glass and go with a plastic screen.

[@coreystephen9878]

For Tyler and anyone else who is unaware: Most common soft/medium metals will have an extremely hard time scratching phone glass, whether it's android or Apple, as long as it's tempered. There's a thing called "Mohs scale of hardness", which essentially is a gauge of how tough/hard something is. Generally, phone screens will won't scratch until a 6/7, which means that it takes a metal or mineral as hard as Orthoclase or Quartz. Steel will generally be able to scratch the glass fairly easily. and iron will usually do less deep scratches to it. Tyler's phone would most likely have the same level of resistance to scratches and damage as the iPhone did. You generally see more iPhone users with broken screens and stuff because there are just more iPhone users in America than Android users. Something to keep in mind though, is that the ability to resist scratches doesn't mean it will be significantly better at resisting impacts. While it definitely does HELP, you can still break screens fairly easily if you hit the right spot (like when Tyler broke the screen on the cinderblock). Most likely what happened was that there was a piece of jutting debris from the cinderblock and the pressure of which Tyler pushed down on it cracked it. For people out there, you can take a razor or knife to your screen and scratch the tip on the screen and it's incredibly unlikely you'd actually scratch the screen.

Any Android phone will perform better and have a better camera? Does he realize there are tons of Android phones, many of which have worse specs and worse cameras than Apple? Most of those would also fail this test. I'm an Android person myself but aware of the physical and technical capabilities of both types. Hell my old phone was a OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and cracked a portion of the screen from a small drop into concrete - that's a high end phone with gorilla glass 5 and still cracked. Sorry to bust your bubble but iPhones glass is on par with the gorilla glass victus on the top end ultra note models. At the end of the day the top end Apple models are on par with top end Android phones, depending on manufacturer of course. Also when referring to specs, they don't necessarily equate to more performance. For example the note 21 ultra vs that iPhone. The note looks more impressive if you're just looking at numbers on paper.. more cores, triple the ram amount, camera specs lower. The iPhone still can match and outperform the note in plenty of synthetic benchmarks and had great camera quality. At the end of the day both will perform great and offer more power than you can even use effectively. It comes down to which OS you like better and if you like getting bent over by Apple each year to upgrade versus Android where you have many manufacturers competing which ultimately push down prices for consumers. Plus Android can be rooted and IMO more customizable, hell I can install a launcher that mimics windows and makes using my phone and tablet much easier with a start menu, tiles, quick start apps pinned,systray, and home screen just like windows.

[@deadlynumbers6701]

all phones can be rooted, the process to root a android is just easier and cheaper/free, apple is a bit more technical and costs money to do most of the time. however when you get a iphone you get it for security so people who root apples idk why they choose to i mean sure freedom and more apps, as well as more customizations is always nice but the security you get when you buy a apple product is a great thing.

As for specs I don’t know and don’t really care but I assume there are positives and negatives to all phones. I want to know if phones falling from pockets really happens that often and if people are really out here putting things in their pocket with their phone. Natural selection at that point.

Okay Tyler, I love your videos! However, by scratching the glass first you've substantially weakened the glass. Now, most people would have small scratches from daily use and it is a bit more prone to being cracked. I think the results were a bit skewed because you scored the glass before dropping it (scoring would make it work almost like a glass cutter) Granted, nobody would have a prestine phone and drop it in real world use cases (unless you make KZbin videos 😅) but I think the results would be different if the glass wasn't cracked to begin with.

Hey just for some clarification, the iPhone 13 is actually MORE durable then pretty much every modern "Android Phone" out there. The reason the back is glass, is to allow wireless charging to pass though, since it can't pass through metal. Yes the back could be plastic, but then it would scratch easy and wouldn't feel as premium. And the cameras on flagship iPhones trade blows with flagship Androids. Also, I'm not biased. My personal phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. (Long name, I know) I switched from an iPhone months ago. Try those exact tests with a Pixel 6 or an S21, and you will see that they aren't as durable as you might think.

[@RealJustinWillock]

The reason newer phones have a back glass is because of wireless charging which can’t be done with a metal back. Also I would test the pro/ pro max version of the phone because of the stainless steel it is much more durable in drop tests and if I’m not mistaken is the reigning champion on phonebuff for drop tests other than the 12 pro max which is as far as I know the best preforming flagship on the market for drop tests so I guess when it comes to Apple you need to fork up a bit more money to get that stainless steel and better drop performance. Also that’s “button” Is for the 5G ultra Wideband network which is incredibly fast but I believe it is only available in the US and maybe Canada
