Or so folks at SquareTrade claims
SquareTrade claimed they tested Apple’s iPhone X using robots and found that it shatters easily after a simple drop to the floor. It’s also alarmingly expensive to repair. Apple recently confirmed it will charge out-of-warranty rates of $279 for iPhone X screen repairs, and $549 for any other damage to the device unless it is a manufacturing defect covered by Apple’s standard one-year limited warranty.
On the drop test ran by SquareTrade, Jason Siciliano, vice president global creative director at SquareTrade said:
“On its first drop, SquareTrade saw the iPhone X shatter, its screen become unresponsive, and its widely touted facial recognition feature fails completely. ‘SquareTrade’s Master Technician noted that the iPhone X has a thinner, costlier OLED screen that’s more expensive to replace, a smaller logic board, multiple cables, and a split battery that’s more difficult to remove.’
“You’d expect there to be a high price to pay for a beautiful phone like the iPhone X. Unfortunately for consumers, in the end, it’s likely to be more than the $1,000 they’ve already invested”
“Despite Apple’s claims that their glass is the most durable ever in a smartphone, the iPhone X is the most breakable iPhone we’ve ever tested. The iPhone X’s fragility, along with Apple’s $549 fee for most repairs, make it the definition of a high-risk phone.”
