Link to SquareTrade's report
Noted gadget blogger Ryan Block struck a nerve last week when he suggested that Apple's iPhone 4 contains yet another potential flaw, one that makes its glass back susceptible to shattering. Now, independent warranty provider SquareTrade has published figures suggesting that the iPhone 4's glass is more prone to breakage than that of its predecessor. According to SquareTrade's numbers, 4.7 per cent of iPhone 4 users have reported accidental damage to their devices within the first four months of ownership; that's up from 2.8 per cent of iPhone 3GS owners over the same introductory period. Among those, broken glass is overwhelmingly the number one type of accident: 82 per cent of iPhone 4 owners reported cracked glass, compared to 76 per cent of iPhone 3GS owners. That works out to roughly 82 per cent more broken screens for iPhone 4 users than for iPhone 3GS users. |
