In case you needed proof that dropping your iPhone 4S face down on the concrete from six feet up without a case was a bad idea.

What a twat.
Such a waste of a great piece of technology! My heart is saddened by knowing that there is already one less iPhone 4s in the world. It will never see a sunrise…have it’s first birthday…go to college…or fall in love. :(
BUT WHYYYYYYYY????
Is this really news…. jump off a 100 foot cliff, die …drop iphone several times, it breaks, duh !!!!
I bet if you jump out of an airplane at 3000 feet without a parachute you’ll break every bone in your body..?? Or Just a thought,,,???
stupid moron….there are people how can not afford an iphone and he drops it for fun….
excuse my bad language but because of guys like him, people make fun of us…
Obvious it’s going to break… Wanker
Why redo this test? It’s the same iPhone. Apple used the same exact glass and metallic body, minus the dual antenna and new parts inside.
I love the fact he did this at an AT&T store. Shows how much he cares for Apple products and it’s customers. What will really tick him off is when AT&T charges him $799 for a new one.
enjoy your 15 seconds of internets fame, you f**king tool.
Just a heads up, the Cult of Mac RSS feed has not been updating for the past few days.
Someone needs to drop test him onto concrete.
Thats the proof that douchebags cannot handle any iPhone
OK now back to Occupy Wall Street.
This is why China hates us.
He much have purchased AppleCare+Â
Unless he’s really just that much of a dick.
wow it broke. shocker.. what a waste. fool
ONLY THING SHATTERED IS HIS BRAIN CELLS
His two brain cells must be fighting for space.
It’s not just China that hates the US, and yes, it’s idiots like him that you can thank for that.
Someone with more dollars than sense.
What a cock !
no disrespect to Cult of Mac, but doesn’t posting non-news like this just encourage this type of behavior in people? What a flagrant waste.
To me this is disrespectful to all those at Apple who worked on this device. Â You build an object of beauty and it is destroyed for the sake of destroying it. Its absurd.
Moron
What a waste. Why queue up to just do that? It’s the same case as the 4. So not like its suddenly going to be indestructible. It’s glass it will break. Div.
maybe the publicity from the youtube vid will break even and make the company more money…jus sayin
In a world with children starvin’ to death, dropping an iPhone just for the sake of it is simply disrispectfull. Blogs and news websites shouldn’t give space to selfish behaviour like this.
They should try to see if a bullet goes through their brain too.
Douche. Â Even his announcement of doing it was douche
super lame – you know those guys in the back of the line walked away with out getting a phone today this this fool is breaking them in front of the store!
Hahaha all the iTards hearts break in unison
what a douchebag.Â
I think he should do a drop test of his own body off the roof.
This is so much bollocks what you write dude.Â
Another proof iPhone’s expensive crapgadget.
idiot
Instead of demonstrating the fact that glas will shatter when dropped, he had better donated the money for the phone to the starving people in Africa. The video made me cringe, so overly uneducated and dumb…
Let’s drop glass on concrete to see if it breaks…. Uh duhhh!
Given that Apple has never claimed it is impossible to break and even added their reduced price of the already reduced price option (compared to making you buy a full retail replacement) and this was basically an ad for his iPhone repair shop (that 5 bucks isn’t Apple Authorized and thus voids your warranty if they touch it meaning you’ll be stuck paying for everything from now on), yeah I rather agree with you.
I also agree with those saying that the guy (and the one behind the camera) have a generally douche personality
Like they care. If it gets them hits they will post anything
Actually AC+ only covers “accidental damage during normal use and handling”. This guy tried to break his phone so he’s screwed.Â
