Following the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max on Friday, tech enthusiasts eagerly awaited their performance analysis. Notably, two prominent video teardowns have been shared, along with a rigorous durability test conducted by Zack from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel.
iPhone 18 Pro Durability Test
In Zack’s latest video, he begins his evaluation with the display glass, showcasing its impressive resistance against scratches. Utilizing Mohs picks, he determined that the glass scratches at level 7, with deeper grooves appearing at level 8. This is a commendable achievement, as most glasses typically scratch at level 6 and only show deeper damage at level 7.

When subjected to an open flame, the screen exhibited remarkable resilience, withstanding temperatures for around 25 seconds without suffering permanent damage.
