iPhone 6 And 6 Plus Drop Test : Not What You Expected

You may have everything you care to know about the bigger screens and faster processors on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but there’s still one question remaining: how do Apple's devices stand up to being dropped?

YouTuber PhoneBuff's torture test involved dropping the devices on their back, side and face. So, how durable are Apple’s latest smartphones?

The results? Well, it's no scientific inquiry, but it seems that the new iPhones are a shade less durable than previous models, holding up well to being dropped onto their backs (the easiest test) but with the 6 Plus shattering after taking a tumble onto its side.

Based on this one test, both phones may have performed worse than the iPhone 5 design which was described as "very durable" and survived similar drops in a previous drop tests. Without standardised testing, it's hard to draw definitive conclusions.
