Were published online in the first drop test of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: the display is broken in both cases, probably due to the use of ever more subtle components. PhoneBuff published a first drop test of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Smartphones of Apple has always boasted highly sought-after designs, which often has been the main cause of a certain fragility both from the physical point of view and from that of functionality.
iPhone 4 was presented with an innovative antenna that served as a ” perimeter ” to the smartphone and we know what happened, two years after the iPhone 5 used a very soft paint, especially in black.
Although it not yet occurred extremely serious problems for the new iPhone (which were launched on the market only in the past few hours in the early countries), the new smartphone Apple did not seem toughness specimens in the video PhoneBuff. The display of the iPhone 6 Plus breaks down the first drop, impacting with one of the corners with the ground, while the model 4.7″ suffers the same fate only with the display facing toward the floor.
Both smartphones will continue to operate, but we know that the repairs out of warranty in Apple are anything but cheap. The largest model is the most fragile, probably to the distribution of different weights, within a thickness of only 7.1 mm, still less compared to the last generation of the iPhone. The drop tests are not objective models to determine the resistance of a product they are subject to too many variables, but the new iPhone did not give the feeling of being too strong.
During the first few drops, the aluminum has some scratches and some bruising, even if the anodizing process prevents the occurrence of phenomena from paint to the paint used, as was the case of some older models.
