the iPhone tennis looks a lot like last year's 10th stainless steel frame and glass on either side but has the glass gotten tougher Apple seems to think so and it's covered on the front and the back back with a new formulation of glass that is the most durable glass ever in a smartphone challenge accepted I'm out here on the sidewalk which let's be honest is where most of these accidents happen and it's the same surface where we broke the iPhone 10 from last year now in my hands is a brand new iPhone tennis in gold which I just took out of the box but before we begin let me say this is not intended to be a scientific test but just a real-world demo and results may vary depending on the drop now with that out of the way let's begin our drop at hip height or about 3 feet here we go three feet screen side down in five four three two one it didn't sound so bad but let's take a look at that screen it did land screen side down so here we go you guys can see it first how does it look it doesn't look bad okay so turn off the screen and as you can see here no cracks at least no visible cracks on this screen just some scuff marks where it hit a little bit on the side over here but they might actually come off part of that is from the actual cement and look at that they are coming off it doesn't look that bad and then on this side up here I don't know if you can see that there some more scuffs but it's kind of coming off it is a little bit dented the glass seems a little bit dented as I'm running my finger through it I can I can't feel it a little bit but now that I've kind of cleaned it off you can barely tell now this is already a win for the iPhone 10s because this is the same fall that cracked last year's iPhone 10 so I can definitely say that it survived this first drop now let's take a look at the glass on the back is just as strong as the one on the front so I'm going to be redoing this test at the same height of three feet from hip height but this time the back is going to go down first side note it is freezing out here my hands are shaking I apologize for that we're gonna do this three feet this time screen side up in five four three - one okay so that was not the most graceful landing it didn't actually fall right on the back it kind of landed on the side first and that is stainless steel so it kind of did break the fall but anyway we're gonna take a look at the back you guys can take a look first it's looking pretty pretty good let's look at that aluminum frame there are okay so there's there's a little scuff on this side this is probably the size that hit now that I'm taking a look at it closer so there are some scuffs on that stainless steel frame if you take a look really closely but it's not bad it's really not that bad considering that this is now the second drop of this phone and it's it's looking good the screen is okay the back is okay just a little scuffed up on the sides so that's the second drop that it survives I'm gonna take it even higher why not this phone is already exceeding my expectations so still within the realm of possibility five feet which is kind of roughly face level maybe what would happen if you're taking a photo and it falls out of your hands now this time around I'm not actually gonna try to have it land anywhere I'm just gonna see where it what happens from this position when it hits the floor okay here we go five feet in five four three two one okay so that had a little bounce to it because it landed on the edge again it didn't sound bad it kind of moved a little bit so I think it landed screen side down but here take a look at it first screen looks good so far back looks good so far the sides look good so far I cannot believe this is the third time I dropped this phone and I'm still having a hard time finding any kind of damage on this phone okay so I got to be honest I didn't think we'd get this far I'm not sure what to do with it next but I really want to test out that screen so I'm gonna have it try to land screen side down this time from the same five feet now just bear in mind that this is the fourth fall so it's already been compromised with that said let's do it okay five feet screen side down in five four three two one so that definitely did not land screen side down because I can see the screen right now I'm gonna take a look it landed right on the corner and then with the back to the floor so let's take a look the screen looks fantastic nothing wrong with the screen it doesn't seem to have sustained any damage to the camera at least that I can tell right now just some marks over here on the edge couple marks on this edge few on the bottom over here and on the side but a hundred percent in working order still but ultimately it's in pretty good shape considering how much I've dropped it right now now I gotta say I was definitely not expecting the results we got today I thought for sure it was gonna break at the first drop like last year's 10 but just take a look at the difference this is for Falls in nothing this is two Falls and look at the back now we did get their screen replaced so I don't have that to compare but both the screen and the back on last year's 10 broke now is this the strongest glass ever made on a phone I can't tell you that I don't know for sure but I can't let the results speak for themselves and for all you guys who still want to see this phone break we're gonna be doing a part two of this video where we basically find out what it takes to break the iPhone 10s
