- Apple has published a new ad iPhone 16 spot online
- The clip shows the hardened ceramic shield glass
- A case is probably still a good idea
Apple’s advertising points are always polite, carefully manufactured and deserve to be checked, and the last clip to appear promotes the ceramic or ceramic bump on the iPhone 16 – suggesting that your phone will be protected from drops, even without case.
The 35 -second clip, which you can see on YouTube, is set to an amusement park. A dad gives his iPhone 16 to a passer -by to take a photo of him and his family, but the potential pan tast the phone and drops it to the ground.
Panic not, viewers: the iPhone 16 in question is protected by the last glass of Apple ceramic shield. The young of the family goes and picks up the iPhone, which has no stripes on it, and the family of the family can be taken.
Apple used this robust ceramic shield material made by Corning from the iPhone 12, but the improved version introduced with the iPhone 16 is apparently 50% more difficult. It is a welcome peace of mind if you use your iPhone without case.
I will stick to a case, thank you
To watch
Although Apple’s announcement does not explicitly indicate it, the involvement is that your iPhone 16 will be well protected from the drops, even if you do not put any cases on it – but I’m not sure I am ready to fully accept that.
The hardened glass is always made of glass after all, and you don’t have to look far on Reddit or social media to find screen accidents from the broken iPhone 16, even from small drops. According to my experience, iPhones are as slippery as ever, and the soil can be very ruthless.
We are talking about what could be one of the most important, most precious and most used goods you have here: your iPhone connects you to the whole world, keeps you informed, stores all your photos and videos, and much more.
The ceramic shield is not a guarantee against damage – and Apple does not pretend that it is, to be fair – and since most of the best iPhone 16 cases are inexpensive and light, it is very logical to add additional protection.
