Ever since the original iPhone it’s safe to say that drop test videos are one of the most exciting things about a new release of a smartphone. This time around, the iPhone 6 and recently-released Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge are put in a head to head test to see which is more durable. While we won’t spoil it for you, the entire video is worth a watch despite it being a little bit on the long side.
Despite the first iPhone 6 drop test being a complete surprise and accident, the folks over at Android Security have done a more formal drop test for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. In this test each device was dropped on its side, back and then face down onto the floor. While we won’t spoil the entire outcome, it’s safe to say that each iPhone is built pretty solid. You’ll still probably want a case or screen protector to protect against small scuffs or scratches, but any drops shouldn’t be of too much concern. As of now the case selection for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are somewhat limited, however, a good place to start would be on Apple’s website.
Poor iPhone 5…
