First broken iPhone 4s! 1080p drop test

TurmoilX · Oct 14, 2011, 09:06 AM

UnitediPhoneRepair posted a clip of a iPhone 4S "drop test". Of course, the iPhone 4S shares the same external design as the iPhone 4, and yes, it still breaks when dropped on its glass screen.

wonder if they're hoping to use Applecare+ for a return. Would be hilarious if somehow they linked this video up and denied based on intentional damage. (though obviously no chance of that really happening)

EmbraceTheOne · Oct 14, 2011, 09:09 AM

Why would you do such a thing...

ryhno45 · Oct 14, 2011, 09:10 AM

Wowww!

CooKieMoNs7eR · Oct 14, 2011, 09:11 AM

They do this every year and it's so pointless.

Champcar · Oct 14, 2011, 09:11 AM

Now there is a real Delta Bravo.

Netherscourge · Oct 14, 2011, 09:11 AM

I hope they refuse to honor the warranty so that idiot learns a lesson.

Picka · Oct 14, 2011, 09:12 AM

A phone should survive a fall like that. It's ridiculous that it breaks so easily.

Just advertising for an iPhone repair company.

that is just iphone 4...not 4s.

seamuskrat · Oct 14, 2011, 09:23 AM

Really? A face down drop on concrete?

It survived the first 4-5 foot drop onto concrete. That is not bad.

I have had plastic phones shatter from less of a drop or at the least broken a battery door latch off.

Yes a glass screen makes any ohone fragile to an extent, but for everyday use these are more durable than you should expect.

Accidnts happen but take care of your expensive devices and be prepared for accidents.

Wrong.

Pause at 0:34 and you'll see the new antenna black bands

andylyon · Oct 14, 2011, 09:26 AM

Idiot.

arn · Oct 14, 2011, 09:26 AM

for what it's worth, for an iPhone repair shop, that's just like a $50 part.
