iPhone 6 Drop Tests Show That You Should Really Use a Case - VIDEO

Despite all of the new software and hardware features that Apple has introduced with the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it hasn’t yet managed to solve one of the iPhone’s biggest problems: that it breaks. If you’re unlucky enough to drop your iPhone on a very hard surface, from a long distance, or even directly on its glass face, things aren’t going to end well. Some “drop test” videos — where tech reviewers unflinchingly drop an iPhone onto a hard surface — might convince you that the best way to avoid shattering your iPhone isn’t to avoid heights and hard surfaces, but just to put a case on your phone.

Let’s start with a drop test without a case. David Rahimi of YouTube channel PhoneBuff dropped each phone, once on its back, once on its side, and once on its front from about shoulder height to see “just how durable Apple’s latest devices are.” The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sustained minimal damage from being dropped on its backs, aside from cosmetic scuff. The iPhone 6 also survived being dropped on its side with only some scratching.However, the screen of the iPhone 6 Plus shattered when the phone was dropped on its side, and Rahimi noted that the screen appeared to be pulling away from the body. (The phone did, however, still seem to function just fine.) When dropped on its front, the iPhone 6’s screen shattered, and also appeared to begin pulling away from the rest of the phone. Again, the screen seemed to be fully functional, though Rahimi warned, “you don’t want to use it because you might cut your finger.” Though the iPhone 6 Plus’s screen had already cracked when the phone was dropped on its side, Rahimi also dropped it on its face, and the glass shattered further.The PhoneBuff drop test makes on thing clear: bad things will happen to the iPhone 6 if you drop it, just like its predecessors. (Remember: despite rumors that the new iPhone models would feature sapphire screens, Apple hasn’t made that jump yet. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are many things, and feature ion-strengthened glass, but neither are unbreakable.)(wallstcheatsheet.com)Bakudaily.Az
