Man this thread doesn't speak well of the build quality of apple shit.
I've never broken any of my phones and have dropped them from all kinds of heights on all kinds of surfaces hundreds of times.
Item: A scooter
Age: Brand new! (back then)
Cost: about 350 euros to get the panels replaced.
How: Me and a friend used to race our little 25 cc old style bikes (not modern scooters) around a lot in the woods and gravel roads where we used to spend the summer.
One day he got a brand new scooter, I was having a go, but it was end of summer and the trees were shedding these fuzzy caterpillar like seeds.
And the scooter's brakes were reversed compared to the old bikes...
Well you can see where this is going
Wrong brake out of habit on a patch of fuzzes as I'm turning it around.
Had luckily slowed down enough before hitting the patch, but the front wheel still went sweeping out from under me... couldn't hold it and it skid across the floor with it's right side for a few feet.
Lots of panel scratches, but no damage to me.
I felt so bad that I scratched his new bike, but he didn't even care.
Paid him back from my savings/allowance (this was 11 years ago).
Considering all the stupid shit we used to do and that this is the only expensive thing I ever broke or damaged, I've been lucky.
