Yeah, I'm going to completely discount that one because he practically had it at head level when he dropped it, and he looks pretty tall.
Cars are a safety risk and can severely injure or kill. I certainly haven't read any reports of injuries or deaths resulting from phone drops. Just owners with lighter pockets.
The point is we already know whats going to happen. We test all sorts of things in life to get a more accurate idea of the outcome. Id like to have an idea of how durable my device is. I suspect so would you.
Phones are turning into one of the most used tools in the world. You can pay with it, talk to your mom, text your kids, navigate, learn, listen to music, watch films, pay bills, take a picture, send an email; the list goes on and on. You would think such an important tool, crafted by the company who provides that tool to a good percentage of the world, would construct it with some utilitarian thought in mind, but it seems with Ive at the helm it's gone all aesthetics.
I never understand why these people spend all this money on an iPhone just to drop it on the ground on YouTube for a few views. Give me that damn Phone if you're gonna Eff it up. Sheesh.

Sapphire is more shatter-prone than glass.
well time to not get the iPhone 6 or 6+ now. i had every intention dropping my phone when i first get it
Damn. Never heard of Square Trade before you mentioned it, seems too good to be true... Also I love not using a case so this just seems too perfect! :3
Well problem is people whine if it isn't paper thin..... I'd prefer a more robust phone as well but they have to appeal to the methphone heads.
Ummmm you don't HAVE to use a case. Not sure where you got that info from.
Don't complain to apple complain to all the apple fa.... Oh yeah... can't say those words together word..... blame the people that want a thinner and thinner phone.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Get Cracked in First Drop Test
Sapphire has really been built-up around these parts to be the savior of future tech, but the reality is that it is expensive and not great at the things people think it ought to be used for. It was always destined for the watch, but everyone convinced themselves that it was the next coming of Gorilla Glass for iPhones.
Not so.
I don't care if that dude drops his phone. He paid for it, he can do what he wants. Plus if he's lucky he'll make his money back through advertising, or page hits.
But yes, it's interesting to see how these things hold up, but honestly, every drop is different. One phone might shatter from a 1 foot drop, while another could drop from several stories and still be usable.
