Ceramic Shield on iPhone 12 Works: Better than iPhone 11
Allstate Protection Plans conducted drop tests that show the iPhone 12’s more resilient Ceramic Shield improved display surface helped it withstand a six-foot drop to the sidewalk “significantly” better than the iPhone 11 and Galaxy S20 lineups, but with some visible damage. The standard iPhone 12 was relatively safe with small cracks and scuffs at the edges, while the slightly heavier 12 Pro had a crackdown its lower half. The flatter design might also help both devices if they land back-first, Allstate said. The base iPhone 12’s rear glass was “virtually unscathed” during the sidewalk test. The 12 Pro’s glass shattered (including for the wide-angle camera), unfortunately, but it was “not catastrophic.” A drop on the side produced scuffs and sharp edges for both iPhones, but nothing else.
