    my friend has an iPhone 5.....he accidentally dropped it on his foot.... iPhone came tumbling down across the street but my friend says..."Ouch.! my foot..!!!" but he does not seem to care about his iCrap at all =]

      The more I see different iPhone 6 drop tests, the more evident it becomes that Android Authority faked theirs. This is tarnishing their reputation badly as people are really paying attention. Personally, all respect has been lost.

        EtherDragon, 20 Sep 2014Wouldn't the proper solution to all of the broken screens, ... moreAll phone break depending on what situation you are in with, My s5 broke while I'm having coffee with my friends. Phone covers are created because of those reason. Android authority and phonebuff just prove it, The one thath breaks and the one the doesn't in a miracle. Why? my friend s5 also drop his phone but just a few scratches only. If you want durable phone 3210 is for the win. Old phone are much durable than new phones today because of the big screens they have on it.

          Wouldn't the proper solution to all of the broken screens, scratched phones, and other aesthetic issues be to just either A) buy a drop proof/scratch proof case(otterbox, lifeproof) or B) don't drop one at all? Yeah they're premium devices but they can still break. Can't the android phones break as well? I have never had a screen break because i've always taken good care of my phones. Am I wrong on this one guys? Help me out.

                      At first I dint hate apple. Years ago. I saw my friends iPhone 3gs crack like an egg when it fell. ( the screen). He was like wtf just looked that my money 💵 since then I decided I won't buy apple. And now I know it's not worth buying. He uses Sony devices now.

                            this tests just keep pointing out the real stuffing the iphone are made out of. the performance sucks, the phisical hardware can't withstand a little shock or the screen jumps out and calls it quits, I mean who makes this things? and people buy them? and still they are hailed as premium devices, really? ok ifans pls just try and defend ur precious iphones now, u cant give up now!! come lets hear the excuses this time. our "plastic" phones drop and screens dont pop out of them. HUH "premium phones"!!!! what tha...

                              Chupacabra, 19 Sep 2014So much for the indestructible sapphire glass hype. Also, ... moreWhy dont you try filming your phone outdoors and let us see your result? The guy even said that probably it wouldnt be visible on the video, because unlike you the most of us know that its not easy to capture what the human eyes actually sees, esp under bright conditions like that.

                                  Noticed he kept saying popping out,seems like glass is not very well attached to aluminium body...Nokia put their phones through hell seems todays full touch phones are crap.
