Other Can dropping your phone damage the internals?

[Newtons Apple]

Come on.....you honestly expect people to understand that any given drop can't be predictive as to damage done.

I bet 6 emojis and one snarky comment that there will be dozens of anecdotal stories of how their personal drop did or did not cause internal damage. And extrapolating their experience as meaningful across the board.

Am I expecting too much from members here?

I bet that if Isaac Newton had had an iPhone, he would have dropped it frequently. Just to prove that it would drop......

This question is the best, don't go asking the midwife the same thing though.

You realize of course that you're just one Apple engineer of many and only one opinion of many. And you might be right 99 out of 100 drops...but that 1 drop might be the one that damages the phone.

It's a phone, people...try not to drop it at all.

Surely you don't believe than an Apple engineer, or any engineer for that matter, would make a blanket statement like that. There are entirely to many variables in his statement, for it to be taken seriously by anyone.

Yes, of course it can cause something internal to break or become loose.

Hi my phone fell from 3 feet height and hit something in the middle and fell to the ground nothing break, can it cause any internal problem?
