Dropped it from waist height in parking lot. Surprising how less durable this year’s iPhone is. My Xs and 13 Pro fell so many times with much more heights but only scuffs and dents. It seems to be the slight curve at the edge of the glass is causing the glass to be weak.

    You do realise not all drops are the same? One phone coming away with less damage than the other likely has nothing to do with build quality. It’s just how that phone landed.

      I’ve dropped one phone four inches on a table and it shattered.

      I’ve dropped another straight into concrete from 3 feet the day I bought it by being too excited and opening the box as soon as I left the store. It had a minor scuff on the chassis.

        I was with my brother when he went to pick up his iPhone 7 at the physical Apple Store. First thing he did and taking it out of the box to to set up an iCloud transfer from his old phone was Butterfinger and drop it straight to the floor. The look on his face! The Apple Store guy was a total bro and without missing a beat he said “it’s OK, sir. This is a safe place and if there’s anything wrong with your phone I’m just going to assume it arrived damaged and was like that before you dropped it.” But the phone was fine.
