The last phone I’ve dropped was my Nexus 5 over 10 years ago. Had no damage.
damn - I dont drop my phones much. Maybe once or twice in the year or two I have them but folks with 0 drops are impressive.
I knocked off my new Air off my night stand two weeks ago when trying to get it. Was not happy hearing my new phone clanking as it bounced off the side of my bed and night stand. When I got it there were no blemishes of any kind on it. I have since put on a very thin carbon fiber case from Pitaka to protect my phone.
ive had 2 drops since got mine in April.. all with no case
1. directly on door sill of front door onto paving
2. fell out my pocket in car and landed on tarmac.
Amazingly no damage happened whatsoever... the door sill one was very nasty as well,
I have one scratch on glass which is think is from being in my pocket with keys!

Never. Never have dropped my 17 Pro. ☺️👍🏻 never dropped my 14 Pro in 2 years either, it was in absolute mint condition when I traded it in!
I have dropped my 17PM quite a few times, this is why my clumsy ass gets a case the same time I upgrade.
Dropped 15 Pro Max at least 100 times without a scratch on it. Several times when getting out of car onto concrete. Have not dropped new iPhone Air nor work iPhone 17 Pro Max. Wouldn’t want to drop the Pro Max as it would be done for. The Air could handle about anything since it’s made with titanium instead of cheap aluminum.
Atleast once a day. Usually from waist height. Never had an issue or a mark. Usually onto carpet in my home but not always. Spigen hybrid clear protects corners really well. I nod off when it’s in my hands often. Thankfully internals are securely soldered it seems. I always get the latest pro max yearly.
I have had an iPhone 16 Pro in an Apple silicone case for 14 months, have probably dropped it 60 times, from bed tables, on floors, on sidewalks, out of cars, down stairs and so on. I have replaced the case once.
The phone still looks brand new, except for one small nick on one edge that was exposed before I replaced the damaged case.
Interestingly, the screen is in perfect condition, which contrasts greatly to the state of the iPhone 14 Pro it replaced, where the screen was significantly scratched after just a few weeks of pocket abuse. (My phones often share the space with keys or other random crap.)

Five or six times not onto carpet, it's a little bruised but nothing wrong with it. No cracks, it's fully functional and fully safe. It's been commando for 5+ years - it's an iPhone 12 Pro.
Iphone second generation se with cheap rubber bumper around the case, I've dropped it a few times no discernible damage to date (the charging cable is another story - the dog found it tasty)
3 or 4 times, both on to carpet from about chair height. No damage.
I have, in attempting to pick it up, more than once dropped it from about a quarter-inch height back on to the table/desk it was sitting on. And I've knocked it over on to my table/desk more than once.
Still no damage.
I should note that this phone (11 Pro Max) is a replacement of my original, which was destroyed when dropped from waist height on to concrete in May 2021.

More times than I can count. Consequence of spending a ton of time outside, using it in my workshop and barns, and running around at work with wet hands and such.
It's fine, but I never ever use my phones without a case.
