iPhone 17 Pro Max Drop Test Compared To Galaxy S25 Ultra, Aluminium Build Proves Strong But Corner Drops Remain a Weak Spot

Team My Mobile

September 24, 2025

Highlights

Phonebuff conducts exhaustive iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Galaxy S25 Ultra drop tests.
Apple’s aluminium build offers better heat dissipation and rear impact protection, while Samsung’s titanium frame excels in corner-drop durability.
iPhone 17 Pro Max showed less rear damage but struggled with corner dents and paint stripping.
Galaxy S25 Ultra had severe rear camera damage but resisted corner impacts.

Apple’s decision to use aluminium on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max this year was driven by better heat dissipation and weight advantages over titanium or stainless steel. But the big question remains. Does aluminium also improve durability? Let’s check out what a recent drop test face-off reveals when the iPhone 17 Pro comes face to face with its primary competitor.

iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Galaxy S25 Ultra – Drop Tests

A new series of six drop tests by YouTube channel PhoneBuff pits the iPhone 17 Pro Max against the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s titanium alloy frame, revealing how both flagships perform under pressure.

While both aluminium and titanium alloys have their own benefits, the outcome heavily depends on the angle and surface of the drop. PhoneBuff’s updated testing methodology ensured fair results with drops carried out from 1 meter and 1.5 meters on different sides of each device.

Here’s a breakdown of how each smartphone fared –

1-Meter Drops

Back Drop – The iPhone 17 Pro Max’s rear glass cracked, though less severely than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which showed major damage around its telephoto lenses and a cracked laser autofocus unit.

Corner Drop – This is where Apple’s aluminium design struggled. The iPhone 17 Pro Max developed visible scuffs and a dent, highlighting aluminium’s malleability. By contrast, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s titanium frame proved much more resilient.
Front Drop – Both devices suffered cracked displays. On the iPhone, fractures reached the front camera, causing lens flares, though Face ID remained functional. Samsung’s phone also cracked, but its fingerprint sensor kept working.

1.5-Meter Drops

Back Drop – The iPhone 17 Pro Max’s aluminium unibody again offered solid protection, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s rear cameras were severely compromised. The ultrawide lens shattered completely, degrading image quality. Apple’s rear camera sensors, however, remained functional.
Corner Drop – The iPhone’s orange paint began stripping, and its main 1x camera lost the ability to focus. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, meanwhile, showed near “bulletproof” durability from the same angle.
Front Drop – Both phones suffered similar screen damage, leading PhoneBuff to call this round a tie.

The tests showed that Apple’s aluminium build handles rear and flat-surface impacts better, while Samsung’s titanium alloy excels at corner-drop durability. In the end, neither material was flawless and each had strengths and weaknesses depending on drop orientation.

You can check the full Phonebuff drop test video below –

FAQs

Q1. How does the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s aluminium build perform in drop tests?

Answer. It offers solid rear impact protection and better heat dissipation, but struggles with corner drops, showing dents, scuffs, and paint stripping due to aluminium’s malleability.

Q2. Which phone handled corner drops better, iPhone 17 Pro Max or Galaxy S25 Ultra?

Answer. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s titanium alloy frame proved more resilient in corner drops, showing minimal damage compared to the iPhone’s visible dents and camera focus issues.

Q3. Did iPhone 17 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra survive front drops without major issues?

Answer. Both devices suffered cracked screens during front drops. The iPhone’s front camera showed lens flares, while Samsung’s fingerprint sensor remained functional.

WhatsApp Rolls Out In-App Message Translation for Android and iPhone – Here’s How It Works?

Team My Mobile

September 24, 2025

Highlights

WhatsApp’s new message translation feature allows users to translate messages within chats, groups, and Channels.
Android users get an extra perk with automatic translation for entire chat threads, eliminating the need for repeated manual actions.
Translations are end-to-end encrypted and processed on-device.

WhatsApp has officially launched a new message translation feature on iOS and Android. It aims at breaking down language barriers for its massive user base of over 3 billion people worldwide. The tool allows users to instantly translate text within individual chats, group conversations, and even Channel updates. Here’s more the new feature.

WhatsApp Translation Feature

Announced in a detailed blog post, WhatsApp said, “We hope this feature helps break down language barriers and allows users to connect more deeply with loved ones and communities around the globe,”

To access the feature, users need to ensure that their app is updated to the latest version.

Using the tool is simple. Here’s how you can use the WhatsApp Message Translation feature –

Long-press any message they want to translate.
Tap on “Translate.”
Select their preferred language and download it for offline use.

For Android users, WhatsApp is also introducing an automatic translation option for entire chat threads. This ensures that all future messages in a conversation are translated automatically, without the need for repeated manual actions.

Language Support

The rollout includes a different set of languages for Android and iOS users at launch.

Android users – English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic.
iPhone users: Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Interestingly, iPhone users will have access to over 19 languages, which is significantly more than the initial six available on Android.

Translations Remain End-to-End Encrypted

The Meta-owned platform highlighted that user privacy remains central to the update. All translations are processed directly on the user’s device, which means WhatsApp itself cannot access or view the content being translated.

This means the translations remain end-to-end encrypted, since everything happens on the device. “With more than 3 billion users in over 180 countries, we’re always working to keep our users closely connected, no matter where they are in the world,” the company wrote in a blog post. “But we understand that sometimes language can be a barrier to getting things done or expressing how you truly feel. That’s why we’re excited to bring message translations to WhatsApp, so you can more easily communicate across languages.”

Rolling Out Globally

The message translation feature has already begun rolling out on Android and iPhone devices starting Tuesday. As for broader availability, it is expected to reach more regions in the coming weeks.

FAQs

Q1. How do I use WhatsApp’s message translation feature?

Answer. Simply long-press any message, tap “Translate,” and select your preferred language. You can also download languages for offline use.

Q2. Does WhatsApp support automatic translation?

Answer. Yes, Android users can enable automatic translation for entire chat threads, allowing future messages to be translated without manual action.

Q3. Is message translation on WhatsApp secure?

Answer. Absolutely. All translations are processed directly on your device, keeping them end-to-end encrypted and private, even WhatsApp can’t access them.

iPhone 17 and iPhone Air Users Report Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and CarPlay Issues, Apple Expected to Release Fix Soon

Team My Mobile

September 24, 2025

Highlights

iPhone 17 and iPhone Air users report frequent Wi-Fi disconnections, laggy CarPlay, and sporadic Bluetooth drops.
The issue appears tied to Apple’s new N1 wireless chip but is believed to be software-related, not a hardware defect.
Improvements are already seen in iOS 26.1 beta and Apple is expected to release iOS 26.0.1 soon to address these bugs.

The rollout of Apple’s iPhone 17 series hasn’t been entirely smooth. It all started with the scratchgate headlines and then reports of cellular connectivity issues. Now, some users are complaining about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bugs that are also impacting CarPlay performance. Here’s our full report on the latest trouble of new iPhone 17 users.

iPhone 17 – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and CarPlay Bugs Surface

Caption – One of the Reddit posts on the issue.

On Reddit and Apple support forums, several iPhone 17 and iPhone Air owners have reported that their devices briefly disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi whenever the phone is unlocked or the Lock Screen is viewed. Since CarPlay depends heavily on Wi-Fi, users are also noticing laggy performance, skipped audio, and unstable connections while driving.

The complaints don’t stop at Wi-Fi. Some iPhone 17 users say they are also experiencing Bluetooth interruptions when using AirPods and other wireless accessories, with connections dropping sporadically.

One user posted, “This is the entire WiFi crashing.. doesn’t matter what network, or even if you’re connected to a network, it still drops. It’s just that if you’re not connected to a network you won’t notice the drop. But if you go into settings and reproduce the issue, you’ll see the WiFi goes to “off” for a second, then turns back on.”

Interestingly, a number of affected users point out that the issue seems to occur only when wearing an Apple Watch. It raises speculation that the bug might be tied to how devices interact within Apple’s ecosystem.

One Reddit user specifies, “I am experiencing the exact same issue when the watch is on my wrist and unlocked. It also affects wireless CarPlay. When the watch is on, and I unlock my iPhone, CarPlay will disconnect and reconnect. Makes sense because wireless CarPlay is also Wi-Fi based. I also have a Vision Pro and interestingly when I unlock that with my iPhone nearby it will also disconnect the Wi-Fi.”

The good news is that this appears to be a software-related issue rather than a hardware flaw in the new iPhones. All four iPhone 17 models ship with Apple’s new N1 wireless chip, but early indications suggest the problems can be fixed with software updates.

Some users testing iOS 26.1 beta have already reported better performance and fewer connectivity drops. Apple is also expected to push out iOS 26.0.1 soon, which should include bug fixes aimed at addressing these Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues.

One comment reads, “I updated only my iPhone to the 26.1 B1. It’s only been 20 minutes, but under the same circumstances that my WiFi and Bluetooth would turn off and on, it has not. This means that Apple, either intentionally or unintentionally, fixed the issue. This also means this is very likely a software issue that can be patched. I now also updated my watch to 26.1 B1. Still cannot reproduce the issue. Additionally, I use the “unlock with iPhone” feature. Everything held fine! Additionally, my AirPods are not dropping and Bluetooth has been fine.”

Until then, iPhone 17 and iPhone Air users facing these problems may need to wait for Apple’s official update to restore full stability.

FAQs

Q1. What connectivity problems are iPhone 17 and iPhone Air users facing?

Answer. Users are reporting frequent Wi-Fi disconnections, laggy CarPlay performance, and sporadic Bluetooth drops, especially when unlocking the phone or wearing an Apple Watch.

Q2. Are the connectivity issues in iPhone 17 caused by hardware or software?

Answer. The problem appears to be software-related. All iPhone 17 models use Apple’s new N1 wireless chip, but early signs suggest the bugs can be resolved through software updates.

Q3. When will Apple fix these connectivity bugs?

Answer. Apple is expected to release iOS 26.0.1 soon to address these issues. Some users testing iOS 26.1 beta have already noticed improved performance and fewer drops.

iPhone 17 Pro Teardown Shows New Vapour Chamber Cooling, Easier Battery Swaps and “Scratchgate” Issues

Team My Mobile

September 24, 2025

Highlights

iPhone 17 Pro teardown reveals more about the new vapour chamber cooling system under the A19 Pro chip.
The battery now sits in a screw-mounted tray, making future replacements cleaner and safer.
iFixit confirmed that the camera bump’s sharp edges are prone to scratches due to uneven anodization.
iFixit gave the device a 7/10 repairability score, noting Apple’s release of repair manuals and improved battery safety.

iFixit has published its teardown of the iPhone 17 Pro and revealed Apple’s latest internal design choices. It gives us an inside view of the new vapour chamber cooling system, changes in battery placement and details about durability concerns dubbed “scratchgate.” Here’s a quick rundown of the teardown.

iPhone 17 Pro – What The Teardown Reveals?

Inside the iPhone 17 Pro, the A19 Pro chip is placed directly below a vapour chamber cooling system that spreads heat across the aluminium unibody frame. Unlike traditional cooling solutions, this setup uses a lattice structure between two plates. Water near the chip heats up and vaporises into steam, which then condenses back into droplets on the cooler side, circulating through the lattice for efficient heat management.

iFixit compared the iPhone 17 Pro Max with the iPhone 16 Pro Max using a thermal camera. The older model reached 37.8°C and throttled under load, while the new 17 Pro Max stayed cooler at 34.8°C, maintaining performance without throttling.

The teardown also revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro’s battery is mounted inside a battery tray, secured to the frame with Torx Plus screws instead of adhesive. iFixit noted that if Apple sells replacement batteries pre-installed in trays, battery swaps could become far simpler and cleaner than before. The battery itself is encased in metal for added safety.

Scratchgate – Are iPhone 17 Pros More Prone to Damage?

Reports of scratches and scuffs on new iPhone 17 Pro models sparked a debate online. To investigate, iFixit ran scratch tests on the phone’s aluminium frame. Results showed that the camera plateau is particularly vulnerable to scratches with damage occurring most often on the sharp edges.

According to iFixit, this issue is linked to the anodization process. They concluded that “scratchgate is real, particularly on the sharp edge of [the] camera bump, which the anodising doesn’t adhere to as evenly as across the rest of the phone.”

To dive deeper, iFixit examined the scratched areas under a microscope and consulted David Niebuhr, a mechanical engineering professor at Cal Poly. Niebuhr explained that the type of damage is known as “spalling”, where the anodised finish fails to bond as strongly on flat, sharp edges, causing colour to wear off when rubbed against hard objects like keys.

Referring to the microscope images shown above, iFixit post says, “Faced with a pick the hardness of a penny, the iPhone 17 Pro’s anodised coating chips away, revealing shiny aluminium underneath.”

Repairability Changes Compared to iPhone 16 Pro

Apple has also modified the repair structure of the iPhone 17 Pro. Unlike the dual-entry design of the iPhone 16 Pro, repairs are now restricted. Back-glass replacement and wireless charging assembly fixes can only be done from the rear, while replacing parts like the battery, USB-C port, or camera module requires removing the display.

The new screw-mounted battery tray makes battery replacement easier once accessed, but replacing the USB-C port alone requires removing 22 screws, which iFixit described as a tedious process.

iFixit Repairability Score

Despite being slightly less repairable than the iPhone Air, Apple has taken some steps toward serviceability, such as releasing day-one repair manuals and refining battery safety. Overall, iFixit awarded the iPhone 17 Pro a repairability score of 7 out of 10.

FAQs

Q1. What cooling system does the iPhone 17 Pro use?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro features a vapour chamber cooling system placed directly above the A19 Pro chip. It uses a lattice structure to circulate steam and droplets, efficiently spreading heat across the aluminium frame and reducing thermal throttling compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Q2. Has Apple made battery replacement easier in the iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. Yes. The battery is now housed in a screw-mounted tray secured with Torx Plus screws instead of adhesive. If Apple sells pre-installed battery trays, replacements could be cleaner and more user-friendly.

Q3. What is “scratchgate” and how does it affect the iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. “Scratchgate” refers to the iPhone 17 Pro’s vulnerability to scratches, especially on the sharp edges of the camera bump. iFixit found that the anodised finish doesn’t adhere evenly to these areas, leading to damage known as “spalling” when rubbed against hard surfaces.

Q4. How repairable is the iPhone 17 Pro compared to previous models?

Answer. While battery access has improved, other repairs like USB-C port replacement require removing 22 screws. The phone lacks the dual-entry design of the iPhone 16 Pro, making some fixes more tedious. iFixit gave it a repairability score of 7 out of 10.
