There comes a time in a person’s life when your heart sinks and the world loses its meaning. Yes, we are talking when you drop your all-new glass phones like the iPhone 8 Plus or Note 8 that cost at least $800, and you shatter either the backplate, the screen, or both. To avoid these scenarios, it’s good to know exactly how durable the Gorilla Glass 5 on the Note 8 or “the most durable glass in the world” on the iPhone 8 Plus are. This is where SquareTrade’s standardized drop tests come in handy.
Besides its usual drop and tumble machines, the phone insurance company has developed a new test called the Shot that simulates a phone left on the roof of your car and you speeding off, which apparently happens more and more these days.
