Hearing that screen shatter at the end made me cringe.
This is ridiculous, obviously if you drop a glass paneled phone on the concrete from 5 feet up in the air it's going to break. What a moron.

This sort of video is kinda like the negative reaction people would get if I was to randomly punch you dead in your face. It would be hilarious, but not too cool.
anytime a new product is release they will replace it at no charge regardless of damage.
i forget what they call it but it has to do with field quality control.
all that dude needs to do is go into the apple store and get it replaced. i used to work for apple and it never fails.... some db will put it in the toilet and come in crying.....we replaced it no question.
it lasts about a month. there is a quota of maybe 150 units from all stores total.

I want to see drop tests with CASES! I know the phone will break. I want to see which CASES break
There are LOTS of phones that you could do that and they'll barely get a scratch. Dropped my SGS2 a few times without a single scratch. Here's an HTC being thrown:

Even the Original iP3 and 3gs do WAY better than the iP4. Dropped my original iP4 and not only did the glass break, but also the screen matrix inside. They are ridiculously fragile.
So much for the "better build quality" argument...
They do this to somehow get a rise out of people yet no one cares in the end. If it was the ONLY iPhone 4S to ever exist, maybe people would care. but there's a store in there selling hundreds. Really silly.
Exactly, the store has hundreds, and thousands of people want one. This guy has deprived one genuine buyer from getting their launch day phone.
And for my next trick...
What should this guy do next?
Stand outside a soup kitchen and drop food on the ground.
Stand outside an unemployment office and set money on fire.
Stand outside a movie theater on opening night of a blockbuster and rip up his tickets.
Hey, Christmas is coming...he could buy the hot toy for this season and destroy it in front of kids waiting to see Santa.

Must be nice to be rich.
EDIT:
...or should I say...
Must be nice to have rich parents.
Don't think he's actually rich. It's a stupid publicity stunt for their ghetto iPhone repair shop.
Virtually any device being dropped from that height to a concrete surface is gonna break. If people are that concerned about the breakage potential, do what I do and get a good case. I've never had a phone in case break on me, even if the phone has been dropped numerous times.
I must remember to get their contact information... it seems they certainly understand how to treat the device with proper care.
They do these with every release. It is an iPhone repair company that you send your iPhone to for repairs.
