iPhone 4 Screens Break 82% More Than 3GS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-that-kind-of-crack dept.

A surprising number of readers have submitted linkage to a story discussing a recently released study that proclaims that iPhone 4 glass breaks way more often than the 3GS's. Although the chart that I found more surprising was the one that said almost 9% of iPhone 3GS screens crack after a year.

    This is good unbiased, peer reviewed, wholesome and all-American goodness coming from a company that sells warrantees.
    Good times

    The data from the study shows a 42% increase in water damage for the iPhone 4 over the 3GS. From this data we can conclude, with some certainty, that the two bodies of data are fundamentally different and any conclusions drawn on simple differences are only partially caused by differences in the devices themselves.

    But if it's wrapped in a protector how are you supposed to enjoy the beauty of the industrial design?

    Of course, my feeling is that if you can't design an attractive product that is also durable then you're not a particularly good designer.
