YouTuber Zack Nelson conducted a durability test on the back of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, revealing that it is more prone to damage than other products.

Finally, in addition to protecting the device with a case, users can opt for the natural Titanium color variant of the iPhone 15 Pro. Its lighter color conceals discoloration and scratches better than darker-colored products.
