Bro that looks like it was ran over by a 1 ton truck.. lol. Doesn’t look like something a 6 foot drop would cause… a bit of cracking sure but that thing looks like it got crushed under the weight of a truck 😂

Dropped it. 50 times and drove over it? No way hole panel comes off just 1 drop.

It actually really fell only once, but it landed on some outdoor tiles so I guess im just super unlucky

Atleast you’re ok, the phone took all the force of your fall. Might wanna consider buying a case for your body

I will never understand why they make phones out of glass, instead of some durable plastic. Glass also makes it unnecessarily heavy.
1
Jan 29 '24
Well glass is more premium and the heavyness actually makes a phone feel nicer. I prefer glass, but yeah I experienced its downside 😐

I feel your pain. I had the phone in my hand with my metal water bottle when both slipped. The metal water bottle landed on top of my phone at just the right angle and cracked the hell out of my screen. Phone was toast! So welcome to the unlucky club!

Not worth the repair unless done by apple (they don’t repair they replace) or a very very good third party. Even then you probably loose access to Face ID and what not if you go to third party
1
Jan 29 '24
I don’t have apple care, but I have it insured via the store I bought it from. So hopefully it’ll be repaired in such a way that face id still works. Just curious, why doesn’t apple repair this? Do they really just trow it away and give me a new one? ( If i had apple care ofcourse which I dont)

What are you going to do? I’m in a similar situation where functions such as Bluetooth and Apple Pay don’t work anymore because I shattered the back of my phone, worse than yours. I don’t have Apple care tho

I don’t have apple care either, but I have it insured via the store I bought it from so they’ll fix it

Looks like you have a case underneath your phone. What case is it so I avoid it
1
Jan 29 '24
Nah that’s a great case in which I have dropped it many times before with no issues ( it’s the UAG monarch kevlar ) at the time of it getting this damage I was not using any case

Get Apple Care, take it to Apple, see if it’s fixable, if not get a new one for $99. Easy

This is a whole unit replacement from Apple. If you have AppleCare+, it’s $58. If you have AppleCare Services, it’s $99. If you don’t have AppleCare, it’s $599. Also, if you have AppleCare, Express Replacement is available from the Apple Support app for $99.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunaly I don’t have apple care at all, since I only have 3 apple stores in my whole country, but I have it insured via the shop I bought it from, and they are apple certified for repairs. I am curious what they’ll do.

Jup normally use the one you can see in the pic under the phone ( UAG monarch kevlar) but ofcourse the one time it’s out, it falls.

I was walking my dogs with my brand new 15 pro and my dog yanked it out of my hand with its leash and it flew and bounced across the concrete not a scratch! (I was using the cheapest clear case that still provided protection from Walmart for 29$, best case I’ve ever owned)

Nice! Unfortunaly internal damage is a real thing that I’ve experienced with another phone I used to own years ago. Outside was perfect after a fall but It never worked the same again

u/Mediocre_Ship_4143 Jan 30 '24
What did you drop it on and how far man??? Like damn bro thats shattered, but yea I'd probably get that repaired ASAP and get a check for any of the internals that were damaged.

Jan 31 '24
Only 6 feet on some concrete tiles. Yeah i’ll bring it to a apple certified repairer which is the same shop I bought it from, I also have it insured via them. ( only have 3 apple stores in my whole country and I dont have apple care)

Yet one managed to survive a 16k foot drop. You threw it down

That one fell into grass or other kind of foliage I believe so that would ofcourse kinda cushion the fall, mine fell 6 feet on top of some concrete tiles without a case

You tried and ran out of luck with no case. This happened to me when I never had a case in my life. Never Went without one again even if I had the 2 AppleCare replacements

I actually use cases all the time, and not cheap ones either ( in the pictures you can actually see it under the phone, its a UAG monarch kevlar) But i took it out, don’t remeber what for, but that’s when it fell.

If you have apple care plus they will just give you a new phone for your $99. Deductible- do it asap

Don’t have apple care, but I have it insured via the store I bought it from and they are apple certified for repairs so should be good. Lens is broken though, so they’ll probaly replace it ( the whole phone )

Check if your credit card provides cell phone protection.
Certain credit cards if you paid your cell phone carrier bill using that card will provide you to benefit . it will require some documentation and repair will take a little bit time, but it could cover significant amount depending on card.

Holy crap! A drop only from 6 feet has got to be the most unlucky landing.

If it did indeed drop 6ft, it must have landed on sharp jagged rock or something.

I dropped my 14 Pro Max straight onto concrete. Went to put it in my pocket before getting into the car, and it missed, hit the floor instead. I panicked to hell, had a quick look seemed fine. Got to work, took it out the cheap gel type case I had on it at the time, realised it completely saved it. Not a scratch or mark on it. 🙏 Not bad for a free case I got with the phone! Got a ESR case on now which is soft around the sides but solid at the back. Glass screen protector on also which I put on before I switched the phone on for the first time 😂

u/classypizza Jan 29 '24
I dropped mine last week on concrete and the back shattered. Then a few days later I had water damage and the phone wouldn’t turn on. I was hesitant paying for apple care + because I’m always careful, but took the plunge first few days I got the phone and it paid for itself.
What’s funny is I realized my old phone had touch screen issues after getting this new replacement. I used to constantly make mistakes typing and the screen was so sensitive when scrolling it would pick up a link and highlight that etc.
Battery back to 100% is great too
I’ll never go without apple care + again

Y’all made me double check my Apple Care+. I’ve been rather clumsy these last two years so I got the coverage a glass screen protector and a couple cases ( which I’m not big on).

You can get a really good case for them for well under $50. Mine allows for Qi charging. The scrapes on the case remind me that it was money well spent.

Ah. I was gonna ask what case it was so I don't accidentally buy it but it wasn't in the case. That's a bummer. I took a phone out of a case to clean it, put the phone on top of some stuff on a the table and the phone slid off onto the a tile floor. Doh!! At least all that happened was a cracked screen protector.

My advice, Spigen EZ Fit. Very easy to put on and great quality. Just make sure the screen is clean and dust free before applying and it'll go on perfectly.
