How do you milk sheep?

Make a $999 dollar phone and sell it to them.

Could be, the iPhoneX already killed Malcolm Young, Della Reese and Charlie Manson.

Nobody is safe from the damned thing.

But I hear you can heal it by eating nothing but cauliflower and meditating.

SquareTrade is using the drop tests as a way to push its insurance on iPhone X

Hate on the iPhone X all ya want, but the whole premise of this article is CRAP.

What do you expect from Newsweek - schilling for some insurance company.

I couldn’t imagine owning any iPhone without a Lifeproof or equivalent case for it.

Everything is the opposite of what you see in the media. It’s really eerie.

Still not one Apple product in my household. Somehow we have managed to survive. I can get 3 nice used guitars for $1000.

FUD being pushed from Square Trade selling their insurance about potential breakabilityx of iPhone X. It is not the "most breakable iPhone every sold." That would have been the iPhone 4/4S with much less resistant glass on both front and back. — PING!

I must be the only regular iPhone user in the world who has never once broken a phone. So far I have used a 1, a 4, and a 5s. (I don’t jump each time a new model comes out.) I still have all of them. The 1 is on a shelf, my wife uses the 4 as an iPad, and I using the 5s. Not one of them has a scratch or a chip anywhere.

"one of the most common complaints about iPhones: Their propensity for the screen to shatter when dropped."

I'm not particularly gentle on my iphone... And while I do use a screen protector (glass) and generally keep my phone in a case (not an Otterbox or Lifeproof or similar armor-style case), I've had drops and have never even cracked a screen. I did get a few scratches on my first iPhone screen (iPhone 3). about ¼ of the Android phones I see in the wild (friends, family, church members, general public) have cracks and or shattered screens. And remember - there are several Android-based phones that have plastic screens - so are not likely to shatter.

So I've never really understood the argument that iphone screens are particularly susceptible to breakage, or even more fragile than any other make. That being said - an essentially all-glass device (with a stainless minimalistic "frame") certainly would seem to be an invitation to damage. Add to it the technology in the screen is far more expensive than most - and yes, I can see some expensive repairs for iPhone X devices.

Protecting my investment is why I bought a protective case for my iPhone 5
