The Chinese company OnePlus has just unveiled the flagship OnePlus 9 Pro series of smartphones with Hasselblad and its first smartwatch, OnePlus Watch. And the famous smartphone tester Zack Nelson, better known as the video blogger JerryRigEverything, has already tested the OnePlus 9 Pro for strength.
Nelson went through all of his usual procedures, including attempts to scratch, bend, break, and set fire. The screen is additionally protected with a film glued at the factory. Thanks to the Corning Gorilla Glass Protection Glass, scratches appeared at level 6 on the Mohs Scale and became more noticeable at level 7.
The AMOLED screen lasted 40 minutes in direct contact with fire, which is a good indicator. The smartphone passed the bending test without any problems – the smartphone bends slightly, but does not break and easily regains its shape.

Still, this is not the reason for the rise in price: the iPhone 14 Pro will receive at least 128 GB of permanent memory, despite the price increase

The network has new data about future models of the iPhone 14 Pro. It is reported that the new items will receive in the minimum configuration only 128 GB of permanent memory, although earlier it was said about a minimum of 256 GB. However, prices will be higher.
Haitong International analyst Jeff Pu suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max models will still have the same storage capacity as the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max. That is, we are talking about options for 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB.
Apple plans to assemble 91 million iPhone 14s in the second half of 2022, which is more than the iPhone 13 assembly in the same period last year. Then the company was able to collect 84 million pieces.
And Ming-Chi Kuo said that the iPhone 14 Pro models will be more expensive. The iPhone 14 Pro is rumored to be priced at $1,099 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will cost $1,199, although this has yet to be officially confirmed.
As for the older models of smartphones, they are credited with cutouts instead of “monobrows”, A16 processors and a new purple color. Perhaps the increase in prices will be affected just by the use of a more powerful and expensive processor, as well as RAM.
Apple augmented reality glasses are expected to appear in 2024. Jeff Pu believes that they will appear at the end of 2024.
