Then why use more than one iPhone 6? I mean... I have proof right there that the iPhone 6 wasn't on the same spot on the ground when he went to pick it up.

Why would the phone be in a different place after we just saw where it fell? Did it magically slide on a concrete floor?

I didn't make these photos up. They're right there in the video.

Emphasis on some. I'm willing to bet a lot of their subs wouldn't even care, sadly.

ITT: People think APPLE, the company that actually has more money than God and has more marketing power from speaking a few words than most companies can muster in their entire existence, would pay a fucking YouTube channel to fake a drop test.

 

Wow. Just wow. 

 

Are you guys that desperate to hate on Apple that we need to delve into these levels of FUD? 

Do you really think Apple needs to do that? Really?

In the AA video, the phone does clearly come apart a little. However, there is no visual evidence that the screen cracked. All I saw was dirt and debris flying around. The phone was indeed moved slightly between it falling and him picking it up, but that doesn't mean they switched phones. They could have switched it for an unbroken screen, or they could have pressed the part that came apart back together.

 

In the end, I'm disappointed that they clearly covered up part of the frame taking damage, and the fact that they are deleting comments pointing this out. I'm unsubscribing from them now.

If apple offered you a ton of money to promote their rubbish, you probably would too. Even I myself.

 

Sadly when poorly done this kind of things happen and both parties lose credibility. AA made a bad move on this one.

that piece of whatever was already there, and i dont see the screen coming off, honestly who cares, this is just a test and in real life any phone could or could not break

I was very disappointed, I mean they have great shows like Google weekly or Android Q&A but that the only thing that I will care about in their channel.

You'd think that ANDROID authority wouldn't want to iPhone to succeed... 

 

 

I didn't see any glass shattering, i saw some dust/dirt and a piece of dried grass move.

 

Plus why would an Android site fake anything good for an Apple product?

After all they are a business.

I really can't imagine apple paying them to do this video.  However I can't think of another reason why they would fake it unless they are after a quick injection of hits to their channel.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

i saw this vid yesterday ( it just poped in random and i was like heck let's see if it is sturdy) and at the half of the vid i was like wtf are people so stupid that they will believe this ?

i saw some comments and they were like apple is amazing ,this is a beast,apple is the king

i don't go into wars of apple vs android (i just can't afford a 800 euro + device) but it seems like most of their users are stupid

I do see the panel popping out but I didn't see any glass bouncing off the screen like how its in other tests. They could've easily just pop the screen back in. I'm not sure

 

Plus drop tests are not at all reliable. My friend dropped my 4S once onto the floor (tiles) from chest portion and there wasn't even a single crack even though drop tests says that they aren't durable at all

Why don't we let AA answer these accusations instead of assuming they are guilty. No one saw glass shatter. Yeah, you see a screen pop out of the casing, but that isn't the same as shattering. I don't know why they wouldn't just saw that's what happened, but it's not my place to say. These aren't minor accusations that people are throwing around and you're soiling the name of what, to my knowledge, has been a credible source of information in the past. Why would they just throw that all away?

I think I can understand why people are getting so wound up about this video but I doubt anything was faked. The screen coming out that people keep seeing looks to be a combination of low quality footage, lighting and youtube video quality (i watched it in 1080, it appears to just not be very high quality) making the plastic edge trim appear to be the screen popping out. 

Also pointing to other tests where the screen did shatter does not prove anything. drop tests are not controlled tests, they have a number of uncontrolled variables that can change the outcome, even in android authority's own video they seemed incapable of landing the handset in a consistent manor. without some kind of drop rig that ensures consistent impact velocity and the angle at which the phone lands none of these tests mean anything beyond anecdotal evidence.

Maybe apple have made quite a tough handset? is it really so hard to believe that such a company with more money than the US government could make their expensive phones hard to break? The apple reality distortion field seems to work both ways

Give him a few days to comment. They could have just been taken down because they are defamatory. I don't know, I just think it wouldn't make sense for them to fake anything. What do they stand to gain?

One of them already did, and then when several posters showed him evidence, he vanished.

Brian, I was there and I can assure you that neither phones display shattered."

 

And then nothing after that. I would normally be extremely skeptical of conspiracies like these because sometimes things just aren't as they seem but this seems too fishy even for me.

 

Hope we are wrong because this really doesnt make sense.
