is usually a powerhouse for reviews, performance tests and endurance of the new and desired devices that come on the market.
The announced
iPhone 12
is one of the stars of the platform, and as such it was subjected to
blows, hammer blows and falls
to determine the durability of a phone that is around a thousand dollars in its superior model.
Specifically, the insurance company
Allstate
conducted a series of tests in order to determine whether the touted Apple smartphone, which incorporates a
Ceramic Shield
coating on the screen
,
is the most reliable that has ever been tested in terms of
resistance to bumps and falls
.
In a report they claim that both the
iPhone 12 (US $ 749)
and the
iPhone 12 Pro (US $ 999)
survived
three drop tests of almost 2 meters
on an uneven surface, one from the front down, one from the back down and one sideways.
Eventually, the models suffered
considerable damage
in all three tests, and the slightly heavier iPhone 12 Pro was directly affected in consideration on the glass rear.
When the iPhone 12 fell with the screen facing the ground, it
suffered only small cracks
and scraped edges.
This is significantly better than its predecessor, the iPhone 11 and the Samsung Galaxy S20, they said from Allstate.
The iPhone 12 Pro, which is 25 grams heavier than the iPhone 12,
cracked in the lower half of its screen
but suffered no noticeable malfunctions or functional damage.

Although it was scraped along its corners and edges after impact, the iPhone 12 was
virtually uninjured
when it was dropped on its back from 2 meters.
However, the back of the iPhone 12 Pro was
completely destroyed
, causing the glass to loosen and crack in its wide chamber.
Lastly, side-down drop tests: When dropped sideways, both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro suffered scrapes and sharp steel edges, especially along the corners, but were otherwise undamaged.
Based on tests conducted by Allstate it can be determined: "The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro […]
performed better than any smartphone
tested previously […] The Ceramic Shield front is a huge improvement. That said, both phones were damaged when dropped on the floor. "
And they added: "Given its high repair costs, we recommend that everyone
wear a protective case
and treat their new iPhone 12 with the care you would give an expensive camera."
