  • The brand new iPhone Xs Max.

  • Apple's latest attempt at selling the same thing over and over again, is here...this

  • time with a couple new backgrounds, and a slightly larger screen size.

  • Is it worth your money?

  • I've systematically durability tested about 100 different flagship phones over the past

  • few years, and it's time to see if Apple's gold Xs Max is durable.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • So far, things look pretty much the same, just a larger iPhone X, which is cool.

  • Screen real-estate is important.

  • Inside the box we get our usual lightning port headphones, and a short lightning to

  • USB charging cable.

  • But this time around, Apple has decided not to include any dongles in the box.

  • Why though?

  • It's pretty simple actually.

  • When comparing 2 dongles side by side, if I wanted to bulk manufacture a USB-C headphone

  • dongle, it would cost me about $0.39 eachsuper cheap.

  • It would be pretty safe to assume that the Apple dongle costs about the same, since they

  • have the same materials and do basically the same thing...but, it doesn't.

  • Apple gets massive royalties from third party manufacturers because their lightning port

  • is proprietary.

  • So, why would Apple include a $0.30 accessory in the box when they can bleed a $5 royalty

  • out of you later...even if you don't buy from Apple directly?

  • Last year, Apple sold over 2 million iPhones.

  • That's a lot of potential dongle sales.

  • The reason Apple removed all the ports from their phones and laptops is because the 23

  • different dongles they sell on their website are basically pure profit, and everyone still

  • needs to buy them.

  • Apple claimed that the iPhone Xs has the most durable glass ever in a smartphone.

  • Let's see if the scratch resistance has changed at all.

  • It's pretty safe to assume that glass is glass, and glass breaks.

  • My Mohs scale of hardness will let us know how scratchable it is.

  • We've seen plastic phone screens scratch at a level 3.

  • Glass phones would start scratching at a level 6.

  • And sapphire crystal displays start scratching at a level 9.

  • No surprises here when the glass starts scratching at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level

  • 7.

  • It's important not to trust Apple's marketing jargon.

  • This new iPhone screen will scratch just as easy as your last iPhone.

  • Grab a screen protector.

  • There is a thin layer of plastic between the glass and the metal frame of the phone, which

  • is a nice little impact absorption layer.

  • I'll do a drop test later, but glass is glass, so I'm pretty sure we all know how that video's

  • going to end up.

  • There's no home button or fingerprint scanner on the phone this time around.

  • The front facing 7 megapixel camera and face ID are both protected by the same front glass.

  • The earpiece grille is made from metal and it's not going anywhere.

  • It's pretty secure and won't fall out on it's own.

  • One thing I am a huge fan of is Apple's stainless steel frame.

  • Gold coloring might not be your thing of course, but the weight of stainless steel and the

  • durability that comes with it is impressive.

  • Stainless is harder than aluminum and more difficult to scratch.

  • It can still get scratched of course, but the sound, and the damage inflicted will be

  • less on a steel iPhone than an aluminum iPhone...which is a good thing.

  • Apple has included a dual SIM card tray with a little rubber ring around the top to keep

  • water out for that ip68 rating.

  • Still no expandable memory slot, but Apple's never had one, so iOS users don't know what

  • they're missing.

  • The buttons are also made from metal and can't be removed from the frame.

  • Stainless steel also conducts less heat than aluminum, so it'll usually feel cold to the

  • touch every time you grab it.

  • It's good for that premium external feel, but bad for the internal processor heat dissipation.

  • I'm still a huge fan of the mute switch.

  • I feel like every phone needs one of these.

  • The volume buttons are also made from metal.

  • Down at the bottom of the phone we still have no headphone jack.

  • Apple owns both wireless AirPods and Beats, so of course they would prefer if you went

  • wireless.

  • Apple kind of creates a problem and then charges you for the solution...incredibly good business

  • plan, but bad news for your wallet.

  • Apple didn't become the first trillion dollar company by being generous.

  • Speaking of lack of generosity, if you crack the back glass on your iPhone Xs Max, it will

  • cost a whopping $599 to replace.

  • That risk, for something as fragile as glass, makes Apple's glass phones the most cosmetically

  • fragile and delicate pieces of technology on the planet.

  • A replacement back glass for a Samsung phone is around $30 – huge difference.

  • If you've already given Apple all of your money, I'd dbrand the phone with a case.

  • No reason to give them free advertising as well.

  • Now for my favorite part...Apple says they're all about those premium materials, which is

  • great, and for the most part they do a pretty good job.

  • But Apple is still bragging on their website about using sapphire crystal on their camera

  • lens to protect the dual 12 megapixel cameras.

  • Sapphire crystal would be extraordinary if it was pure sapphire Remember, glass scratches

  • at a level 6.

  • Sapphire should resist scratching until a level 8 or 9, just shy of diamonds at a level

  • 10.

  • Apple's impure sapphire, as you can see, starts scratching at a level 6, the same as glass.

  • This Tissot watch though, built with a pure sapphire face, does not scratch at a level

  • 6.

  • Back to the iPhone Xs Max camera lens, we see more scratching with a level 7 pick.

  • Also in line with what glass would be doing.

  • The sapphire Tissot though, is still scratch proof, even at that same level 7.

  • On the Max camera lens using a level 8 pick where sapphire should start scratching, we

  • see another mark.

  • Taking that same level 8 pick back to the Tissot, we finally see some face scratching.

  • In my opinion, if Apple's impure sapphire isn't doing what sapphire is expected to do,

  • they shouldn't be calling itsapphire”.

  • Let me know what you think in the comments.

  • At least the Tissot watches are always consistent.

  • As long as Apple keeps using their inferior sapphire, I'll keep buying more watches to

  • show what premium actually looks like.

  • Now for the burn test.

  • Apple's a pretty fascinating company to watch.

  • They get away with making beautiful, yet cosmetically fragile and super expensive to repair smartphones,

  • where you have to buy back basic functionality like some EA Game Loot Box.

  • You're like, 'Whoa, Jerry, tell us how you really feel.'

  • Alright.

  • I will.

  • It's like Tim Cook walked on stage with a fully functional Galaxy Note 9, snapped his

  • Thanos fingers to remove half of the cool features, raised the price, and we got left

  • with an iPhone Xs Max.

  • Maybe next year Apple will start leading an innovation again, but I'm not getting my hopes

  • up.

  • There are better profit margins with dongles.

  • The 6.5 inch super retina display lasted over a minute on my burn test, which is pretty

  • cool - just like the Galaxy S8 a few years ago.

  • And now for the bend test.

  • Every phone is not created equally.

  • Some snap in half and end up on my Shelf of Shame.

  • Apple has done an incredibly good job of making structurally sound phones the last couple

  • of years.

  • And as much as I would like to see this phone snap in half...it does not.

  • Apple has once again constructed an incredibly solid and structurally sound device...unless

  • you end up cracking the back glass of course.

  • That extra $600 charge will test anyone's sanity, so be ready.

  • The iPhone Xs Max passes my durability test.

  • But, is it the cure to unhappiness?

  • Probably not.

  • I'd say skip this one and spend your extra cash on memories and experiences.

  • Your current phone is probably fine, and it's not worth the marginal upgrade.

  • I do have an extra Xs Max though, and I definitely don't want it for myself.

  • I'll give it away over on my Twitter, so come hang out with me over there.

  • You can slap a skin on it and pretend it's an Android.

  • Or just sell it to a poor soul who doesn't know better things are out there, and keep

  • the money for yourself.

  • Hit that subscribe button.

  • Thanks a ton for watching, and I'll see you around.

The brand new iPhone Xs Max.
