Face-own and side drop tests on the iPhone SE demonstrate that the low-cost smartphone is almost as robust as the iPhone 13, according to drop testing.
Apple made a variety of boasts about the iPhone SE’s capacity to withstand “stumbles” and “spills” when it unveiled the third-generation model. It seems that the statements are based on solid evidence.
iPhone SE was subjected to a variety of Allstate Protection Plan Breakability Tests. The iPhone SE was thrown six feet onto a sidewalk face-down, back-down, and side-down in three separate tests.
Even though the iPhone 13’s front panel is protected by Ceramic Shield, it passed the face-down drop test with “just moderate scuffing.” Ceramic Shield is not applied to the iPhone SE’s toughened glass.
Similar to testing for the iPhone 13, little scuffing occurred in the side-down test.
The iPhone SE’s glass was broken in the back-down drop test. The absence of a protective flat metal siding is said to have increased the vulnerability of the glass rear panel.
For testing its IP67 certification, it was submerged in 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. After being rescued from the water, the iPhone SE had minor audio muffling for an hour.
Allstate Protection Plan VP of marketing and creative director Jason Siciliano remarked, “With the 3rd generation iPhone SE, Apple has built a genuinely durable phone that doesn’t break the bank.” “Despite its $429 price tag, the new iPhone SE may cost as much as $299 to fix, making it an expensive alternative. The best approach to secure your device is to use a case, screen protector and a protection strategy.”
