The newest system to get the Nelson therapy is the iPhone 15 Professional Max, the biggest and costliest iPhone that Apple began delivery simply final Friday.

After describing the brushed titanium and the etched again glass as “tremendous cool,” Nelson takes his scratching instruments to the Ceramic Protect of the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Professional Max, and discovers that the show holds up effectively total.

Subsequent Nelson grabs his trusty field cutter, which he makes use of to scrape away on the selfie digital camera (first wince). Protected by the Ceramic Protect, it seems to face up effectively.

After that, the field cutter is enthusiastically dragged down the aspect the of the iPhone 15 Professional Max (second wince), which, hardly surprisingly, takes off the blue bodily vapor deposition (PVD) coating, revealing the titanium body beneath.

To this point, so good. However then issues go badly flawed for the iPhone 15 Professional Max, as throughout Nelson’s unscientific stress take a look at through which he customers his fingers and thumbs to bend the system, the again glass show shatters, seemingly with out an excessive amount of effort (huge wince).
