SquareTrade took a slightly different approach to its immersion test though, challenging Apple on the “beer-resistant” comment made at the iPhone XS keynote. Both phones come with an IP68 rating, which means they should be able to survive immersion in water for 30 minutes, up to a depth of 1.5 meters. The new iPhones held up better in the immersion tests. While the XS Max came off better in most of these challenges, it’s probably worth grabbing yourself a protective case whether you’re packing the iPhone XS or the XS Max. The bend test rendered the iPhone XS’s screen useless, while the tumble test left both phones operable, but significantly shattered. However, SquareTrade noted that the stainless steel frame helped to mitigate damage from side drops. The XS came off considerably worse though, with its glass back coming apart from the frame as a result of the drop. The glass backs on both phones shattered from the first drop in the back-first tests. Unfortunately for fans of the smaller phone, the XS was rendered inoperable by a single drop onto its screen - worried owners might want to consider investing in a screen protector for the XS and the XS Max.
Both iPhones garnered significant damage from the drops, but the larger iPhone XS Max was found to be more durable than the iPhone XS, being still usable after the first drop onto its screen. Fitbit Versa 3īoth phones were dropped from 6 feet high onto the screen, the back, and the side.
