As a lover of technology, I personally find it a bit upsetting that people buy state-of-the-art gadgets, only to rush outside and intentionally drop them on the floor. Still, if you’ve just bought an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, I guess it’s kind of helpful to know how rugged your device is — maybe it’ll help you decide whether to put a case on your new phone or not.
Anyway, here are two videos of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 being drop tested:
It’s obviously hard to proclaim any kind of authoritative result from two videos, but it does seem that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are pretty resistant to drop damage and smashed screens. The first video is particularly impressive — but the second video, where an edge impact smashes the screen, makes you wonder if the first guy just got lucky.
Also, I’m impressed at how high-tech drop tests are nowadays — look at the number of cameras that the first drop tester uses! Marvel at the apparatus that the second drop tester uses to ensure a fair and balanced meeting with its maker.

Amusingly enough, the first iPhone 6 drop test was actually carried out by a “young bloke” in Australia, who unboxed his new fondleslab in front of a TV reporter — and then let it fall unceremoniously to the floor. You’ll be glad to hear that his screen did not smash.
