I've dropped my iPhone4 and 5s literally hundreds of times in similar conditions, with no case, and never had the screen shatter on me. Maybe it's luck, but I'm inclined to believe the drop tests were 100% legit and the 6/6+ screen cracks very easily.
Am I a retard for not using a case and dropping my brand new $1000 phone? Yes, but maybe my idiocy will encourage you to get a good case before you end up doing what I did.
I am now awaiting repairs, and a case that I bought online....  |
AppleCare+ for iPhone ($99) extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and
adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $79 service fee plus applicable tax.
How to get AppleCare+
Buy it within 60 days of your iPhone purchase. Your iPhone purchase date is the date we ship and charge you for your order:
By calling (800) 263-3394 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)
Might be worth it to give it a shot. You'll be out $178 ($99 + $79) but it'll mean you still have one more accidental damage covered under AppleCare+ that you can use in the future if you need it.
