See, the iPhone 16 is better than the iPhone 15… :-)

    If mankind could agree on what is entertaining and what is not, the charts would be much more enjoyable. :-)

      I mean, yeah I guess?

      My question was why some people find these tech destruction videos entertaining and I thought that you, as someone who posted a link to one to a technology board, could give your opinion on that but apparently not.

        Well, a slightly less flippant answer: I’m seriously interested in finding out how an iPhone behaves when it falls. I’m very clumsy and in the 15+ years I’ve been using smartphones, I’ve dropped one more than once in such an annoying way that I’ve had to buy a new one.

        Beyond the pure entertainment value of these videos - comparable perhaps to monster truck shows (‘haha look, the car is flat!’) - they are definitely a recommendation to buy for people like me.

          Drop tests never yield realistic results (even non-sensationalist ones) because there are about a million different ways to drop a phone.

          Get a decent case, that’s the best advice anyone could give you.
