If you've purchased Apple's new iPhone 13, you should also invest in a case. At least if you want to increase your chances of surviving a drop. And after watching the new iPhone 13 drop test video, you'll probably rush out to buy that new case right away.

This drop test of the iPhone 13 was conducted by Allstate Protection Plans. In this latest test, both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro were more likely to escape unscathed from a drop when placed in a case (Apple's silicone MagSafe case for the iPhone 13 and leather MagSafe case for the iPhone 13 Pro) than The number of cases with a MagSafe case was also higher than that of the iPhone 13 Pro case.

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro did not suffer as much damage when dropped in their respective cases as when dropped without any protection. iPhone 13 was dropped three times before suffering damage, including cracks to the camera. The iPhone 13 Pro, on the other hand, was dropped three times with the case in place with no damage.

"The iPhone 13 Pro's back panel repair costs $549, so a case is a must," said Jason Siciliano, vice president of marketing and creative director at Allstate Protection Plans.

iPhones, even with cases, have not been so lucky when dropped face down; the iPhone 13 cracked on the second drop, and the iPhone 13 Pro suffered both cracking and glass lifting on a single drop.

In terms of drops without a case, the iPhone 13 model had nearly identical results as the iPhone 12. allstate rated the iPhone 12 as the most durable phone ever tested based on last year's drop test results.

"Apple's iPhone 13 series is seen as an evolution of the product rather than a revolution, and we found that to be true with respect to durability," Siciliano said in a statement accompanying the results.

Drops without a case proved the iPhone 13 to be a more durable phone, surviving the first drop in the prone position without damage and cracking on the second drop. iPhone 13 Pro sustained some damage on the first drop in both the face-up and face-down tests. damage.

Like last year's iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro feature a Ceramic Shield display, which is more resistant to damage from drops. And in Allstate's drop tests, we can certainly see the effects.
