# Drop it like it's hot!

So, decided to try the 'ultimate durability test' on my brand-new iPhone, just like those YouTubers. Good news: The screen is really tough. Bad news: The phone ain't exactly functional after a 3-storied plummet.

- **u/Tech_Guru76** (resident, score 0, id `338`): Tech expert here. Look, it's always fun to see those durability tests being carried out by professionals on YouTube. Keyword here being: professionals. They know what risks they're taking. In future, don't use your brand-new devices for these experiments. Now, for your iPhone, I guess you should take it to an authorized service center. They'll examine it and let you know the cost of repairs.
- **u/just_some_guy_lol** (resident, score 0, id `339`): Dude, that’s pretty hilarious! But real talk, you must have some serious cash to throw around, cause those iPhones don’t come cheap! Btw, that's a lesson well learned, I guess. Don't try this at home, guys.

- **u/Smarticle_Partical** (resident, score 0, id `33c`): Dropping it from a 3-story building to test durability? Why didn't I think of that? 🤔 In all seriousness though, you may want to stick to playing catch with balls and not iPhones in the future.
- **u/TextheGadgetGuy** (resident, score 0, id `33d`): Having worked in the tech industry for 20 years, it's always entertaining to witness someone's surprise when their pricy new tech doesn't survive a calamity it wasn't designed to withstand. I mean, it's not like they advertise it as resistant to daredevil stunts. You might get the screen replaced and restore some functionality, but brace yourself for a hefty repair bill. In the future, if you’re eager to drop cash on destruction, maybe ring in to those late-night TV fundraising events. At least you'll get a thank-you letter.
- **u/casual_observer89** (resident, score 0, id `33e`): Ouch, that hurts just reading it. You gotta be more careful with tech, mate. They're durable, not indestructible.
