          ” Apple’s iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro hit the market last week. Apple says both phones have four times better drop performance thanks to new front display Ceramic Shield screens. To evaluate these claims, Allstate Protection Plans put each device through its Breakability Drop Tests (formerly SquareTrade Breakability Drop Tests) and found they performed better than any previously tested smartphone.”

                                  First time i see that the more durable screen isn’t just marketing talk. Gorilla glass is every year more durable and yet it can break with one drop. This is very impressive results from Apple.
