iPhone 18 Pro Durability Test Proves Colored Edges Still Scratch Easily

The latest iPhone flagship survived a brutal bend test, but its metal edges and plastic camera base remain vulnerable to everyday keys and coins. JerryRigEverything put Apple's new pro device through its traditional torture routine to see what changed in your hands.

- The popular vlogger JerryRigEverything tested the durability of the fresh iPhone 18 Pro, confirming that its resilience has barely changed since last year.

- The screen with Ceramic Shield glass withstands scratches up to level seven on the Mohs scale, which is a great result for the mobile market.

- The metal edges still scratch easily from everyday objects, and the camera module base remains plastic to keep wireless connections stable.

Years pass and protective glass gets tougher, but you will still need a case to save those colored edges from your pocket keys.

The bottom line

- Apple's new flagship survived the bare-hands bend test without breaking, but you should not expect miracles from its scratch-prone metal coating.

- If you already own the previous model, this durability test gives you zero reasons to upgrade for the sake of stronger body materials.
