Cracked iPhone 4 screen – beware of dropping yours

July 31st, 2010 · 2 Comments

Cracked Iphone 4 screen

A buddy of mine just got an iPhone 4 about 3 days ago. So he went out, had a drink pulled out his phone to show his friend, phone slipped and BANG!
Apparently he didn’t drop the phone hard, it just kind of…. slipped out of his hand.

This design flaw where the phone will self destruct if its dropped, is serious.

I got wood!

All it means is that you cannot use the iPhone 4 without a case. And that is going to mess up the Apple iPhone brand, because instead of an object of beauty, it becomes ‘the case you use on the phone‘.

So let this be a warning tale to you iPhone 4 users without cases.

My show and tell of the iPhone 4 cracked screen.

BEWARE!!!! if you are the sensitive type DO NOT WATCH THIS? ;-)
iPhone 4 being dropped and screen shattered in a random drop test. It’s a painful watch.

It’s such a bad problem, there is even a teardown video showing you how to replace your screen!

My image gallery. These thumbnails go to a hi res image (about 1.3mb) giving you some really nice detail on how the screen has been cracked and how it even carried on working.
(by the way, these pics were taken using an android nexus one – my personal phone)

    Looks painful. My colleague at work has acquired a new Iphone and it’s hanging up on people and turning itself off regularly mid-conversation… not good for a +£500 piece of kit!

    IPhone 4 cracked! Wow. The IPhone 4 just came out. I know your friends feelings had to be hurt. He should look into investing in an outter box protector for the Iphone 4. Thanks for sharing!
