iPhone 7 it is more resistant than the iPhone 6S in a new series of impact resistance tests, but in the case of bending, the differences are slightly in favor of the new Apple smartphone. We start with drop tests, or tests of resistance to impact from a height, here iPhone 7 humiliation practically iPhone 6S with the increased resistance that its new front panel has.
Practically, regardless of the height from which the iPhone 7 is dropped, including from over 2 meters, the front panel, the screen, refuses to crack, the iPhone 6S giving way very quickly. You can see that Apple is using a new type of protective panel for the iPhone 7, maybe even Gorilla Glass 5, and it offers remarkable resistance to accidental drops from a height.
The iPhone 6S screen cracks much faster, and this was to be expected, the only broken thing on the iPhone 7 being the protective glass of the main camera. Dropping the terminal from a long distance on the case, there are very high chances of cracking at least that protective glass of the camera, so you have to be very careful how you use it daily.
iPhone 7 is more durable than iPhone 6S
Good, now moving on to a bend test, it was discovered the sensitive point of the iPhone 7, more precisely the location where the case joins the antennas that provide us with connectivity. Apple no longer separates the case with antennas, but the junction between it and them is a sensitive point where the iPhone 7 bends, but not as much as the iPhone 6S, as you can see below.
Despite the fact that the iPhone 7 bends easily and this is visible, the iPhone 6S is much more fragile from this point of view, a sign that Apple has learned something from past scandals. The screen will separate from the case at both terminals and from here you can say goodbye to water resistance, but you will be able to use the device without problems, even in these conditions.
To be completely honest with you, I am amazed by the very high resistance that the iPhone 7 has in terms of the frontal impact with the screen, here Apple is doing wonders. As for bending, anything bends if you apply enough force to a sensitive point.
