Is the iPhone prone to easy display cracking

February 3, 2009 · Filed Under Entertainment

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I have a PC friend of mine, let’s call him Richard to protect his identity. Richard purchased an iPhone about a year ago and has loved it. He constantly brags about the call quality and is always downloading all kinds of apps and has filled the 16GB of memory with everything from Tiffany to Dokken. He has become an iPhone lover.

Now a year later he drops his phone and it SLAMS against the concrete and the display shatters. So annoyed at Apple for developing a phone without a shatterproof display he bashes the very product he loved only one year ago.

So his choice now is to buy a new phone or walk around with an iPhone with a shattered display. He chooses to keep the shattered display thinking he will do everything in his power to ruin Apples good name. But for the 3 or 4 people our friend Richard may influence more than likely other PC users; we Apple warlords say go buy a Windows Smartphone and live the rest of your days in misery.

I have the 16 GB iPhone and like Richard prior to smashing his, I love it! I didn't even bother researching the other smart phones on the market because as Ricky Bobby says, "If you ain't first, you're last!"

Unfortunately I dropped my iPhone onto a countertop and was shocked to find a bunch of spider cracks all across the top by the speaker. It didn't seem to have hit that hard, but it must have caught the phone in just the right place (or wrong place in my case) to cause the cracks.

Granted, it certainly isn't as aesthetically pleasing as it once was, but none of the cracks interfere with the viewing area or its touch operating areas. Because of that I will not be purchasing another iPhone to replace it.

Does anybody know why Apple doesn't offer any type of insurance? I've done some searches online and for at least the screen cracking issue, Richard and I are far from being the only people this has happened to.
