Is your iPhone up to it? Am
I going to get my money's worth?
Abuse is a common problem
for cell phone users. They’re either prone to shock or permanent
damage when dropped. Else, they can have scratches all
over.
How about the iPhone?
iPhone abuse has received its fair share or analysis and
review.

Resistant to
Scratch
There appears to be a
consensus among critics that the iPhone is scratch-resistant even
if its shiny surface is prone to smudges. According to Steven Levy,
a reviewer, these finger smudges, though it turns the entire touch
screen mucky, it can be easily cleaned with the use of babywipes or
damp cloth. As for its wear and tear, the iPhone is still capable
of looking good and new even if they’re jammed all together with
pens, keyrings, and coins in your pocket.
Walt Mossberg, an Apple
aficionado and a critic, believes that its being scratch resistant
is due to its strong lass. Even if it can pick up finger prints, it
can’t acquire any scratch, no matter if it has a holster or a
protective case.
The Sensitive
Back?
Generally, the surface of
an iPhone doesn’t easily scratch, but how about its back? Critics
say that it’s as resistant as the front, though it can still
possess some scratches, primarily in the Apple’s shiny logo. This
is the part that is not often protected by any case.
PCWorld’s Stress
Test
The stress test performed
by Eric Butterfield is considered to be one of the most
comprehensive abuse tests done on the iPhone. The phone was subject
to a lot of examinations such as scratch test, pressure test, and
drop test. The result? iPhone is highly tolerable with pressure.
Even if it finds itself being robbed by numerous other materials in
you pocket or bag, it can still function normally, with no
scratches and no affected application or button.
However, the most
surprising revelation is that the iPhone is literally strong.
Consider the drop test, which was performed in linoleum, carpet,
and concrete. Except for a very minor dent, the iPhone looks brand
new and, most of all, functioning.
Some Words of
Advice
Now it doesn’t mean that
since it passes the abuse test, you will just feel all lenient of
it. Remember, these are all one-time tests. Do all of these
repeatedly and you’ll see your phone “age” fast. If you want to
give it maximum protection, give it a good silicone case. Avoid
exposing it to heat. As an owner, you have the sole responsibility
for its prolonged use.
