iPhone Duo drop test: titanium survives corners, but hinge and inner display fail

Phone Buff put the iPhone Duo through drop tests against the iPhone 18 Pro Max. The titanium frame absorbs corner impacts better than the 18 Pro Max's aluminum, but the Duo's weight and glass cause cracks in face drops, while hinge impacts lead to ghost touches and partial inner-display failure.

• Back drops crack the glass on both, with more damage on the larger Duo
• Duo's titanium frame handles corner drops better than the 18 Pro Max's aluminum
• Hinge impacts cause ghost touches and partial inner-display failure
• The outer display keeps working after hinge damage
