SquareTrade’s tests show the all-glass design of the iPhone Xs and Xs Max make them highly susceptible to cracking, particularly from drops.
SquareTrade Labs uses a range of “scientific robots” to drop, bend, tumble, and dunk devices to see how they live up to the activities of our everyday lives.
Not surprisingly, the iPhone X doesn’t fare well in SquareTrade’s breakability test.
SquareTrade uses a range of automated tests which simulate daily use and dropped each of the three phones in various ways.
The company used a number of robots to perform drop, tumble, slide, and dunk the Galaxy S8 and S8+ and took reparability into account to get a score out of 100.
