iPhone 15 Pro/Max more fragile than previous iPhones

Have you seen or read about the 15 Pro/Max being more fragile? Some commenters suggest that the more rigid titanium chassis makes the glass more susceptible to cracking.

I've never bought AC+ or any sort of insurance for my phones, only a case, but I'm getting uncomfortable..

Are any of you case users actually worried? I'd estimate that I drop my phone a handful of times each year onto bedroom carpet or bathroom tile, usually from waist height.

Could be, but also maybe isn't. AFAIK there is just single test, and that is just not enough data to make a conclusion.
- Fingers crossed
wasn't worried yet. thank for the vibes….
Sorry so you’re basing this entirely on people commenting on things and not real world reports of fragility? I think you’re getting worked up for no reason.
I tossed my 11 around all the time without issues. If this phone (15PM) is at least tougher than that I’m fine
- The findings here are that the 15PM would be much less tough than your 11.
  
  Regardless of the questionable validity of these drop tests, I’m not worried at all.
  
  Out of curiosity, can you link me to these findings? OP is just citing anecdotal evidence and I’m not sure where people are seeing this outside of a few YouTubers. Not trying to be an asshole or anything, just curious
Just a few idiot YouTubers looking for easy clicks. I treat my devices properly and know that I’m carrying a 2 grand tiny computer in my pocket. I just don’t drop them or have accidents with them.
- I mean, the implication here is that none of your phones were as easy to break as this one. So this one is the most likely to be your first to break.
