| If purchasers treat their new iPhones something like they've prior generations, the handsets aren't going to final long. As well many of us have broken our iPhones after an errant drop or slip in the table -- and, yeah, a few of us taped them collectively and kept ideal on using them.
, six percent of iPhone owners admit to taping up their phones. Eleven percent go on using their iPhones after cracking their screens.
Right after extrapolating its survey information towards the complete iPhone marketplace (), SquareTrade determined that the damage to Apple phones has collectively price Americans $5.9 billion given that 2007, the year Apple got into the smartphone game.
Taking the study with a grain of salt (considering the fact that it's coming from a enterprise thinking about promoting its repair services), here's a breakdown of how iPhone harm occurs:
Most of us have had a single of these mishaps befall us. Who hasn't dropped their phone in to the toilet a sink full of dishwater?

Back when it was initial introduced, the iPhone's massive glass touchscreen wasn't specifically the most sturdy stuff around. In truth, Nokia in 2007 didn't consider the original iPhone was a threat due to the fact it brutally failed the Finnish company's "drop test" onto concrete from five feet up, .
For Apple, durability wasn't as significant as obtaining that glass screen, at the least within the early days of the iPhone.

Again, although, people are prepared to forgo slightly resilience to acquire a good deal of characteristics only probable with glass screens. We hope they are ready to cough a bunch of money when the time comes to replace that fancy function.
