💪30-foot drops onto grass and asphalt did not cause significant damage to the tested phones
📱The iPhone 14 survived a 300-foot drop onto grass with minimal damage
🌿Grass landings absorbed the impact and provided a slower deceleration, protecting the phones
💥Hard surfaces, such as asphalt, resulted in more severe damage to the phones
📦A case can help protect phones from damage, especially on harder surfaces
Can phones survive a 30-foot drop?
—Yes, both the iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S23 remained intact after 30-foot drops onto grass and asphalt.
What happened when the phones were dropped from 300 feet?
—The iPhone 14 survived with minimal damage, while the Samsung Galaxy S23 had more severe damage.
What is terminal velocity?
—Terminal velocity is the constant speed an object reaches when the force of gravity pulling it down equals the force of drag.
Do cases provide additional protection?
—Yes, a case can help protect phones from damage, especially on harder surfaces.
What is the best surface for a phone to land on?
—Grass provides better protection due to its ability to absorb the impact and provide a slower deceleration.
00:00- Phones were dropped from different heights to test their durability.
02:01- The iPhone 14 survived a 300-foot drop onto grass with minimal damage.
03:46- Phones dropped onto grass remained intact, while those dropped onto asphalt had more severe damage.
05:31- Terminal velocity is the constant speed a falling object reaches when the force of gravity equals the force of drag.
05:57- Phones have become more durable, but a case can provide additional protection.
