Despite lacking the iPhone 13's Ceramic Shield guard, the $429 iPhone SE proved to be nearly as durable as its pricey flagship sibling in a few real-life tests.
The iPhone SE 2022 is now in the hands of buyers, but a handful of durability tests have proved that Apple’s most affordable phone is nearly as strong as the iPhone 13, which costs nearly twice as much. The folks over at Allstate Protection Plans put the iPhone SE 3 through a series of drop tests, and the phone performed quite well, with one notable exception.
In its official announcement, Apple says it uses the “toughest glass in a smartphone on the front and back” for the iPhone SE, without providing any specific numbers for fall protection. There’s isn’t a name for this unspecified tough glass, but given the phone’s pricing, it is likely not as strong as Ceramic Shield. But the fact that it did the job nearly as well on the iPhone SE as the Ceramic Shield is quite reassuring to hear.
When the iPhone SE 3 was dropped with its glass rear side facing the floor, it cracked on the first impact. It is unclear if that fragility is due to the fact that the iPhone SE’s sides are curved, while those on its pricer siblings are flat. But the experts over at Allstate Protection Plans believe that the lack of a flat aluminum rail akin to the iPhone 13 may partially be the reason why iPhone SE’s glass back panel is more vulnerable.
