> Without explaining how, *iFixYouri* says it came into possession of a complete iPhone 4 shell with its glass face in tact, but minus its internal componentry. It then performed several drop tests of the device from 3 and a half feet above ground, which [shattered the glass panel](http://www.ifixyouri.com/blog/?p=59) on the third attempt, as can be seen below.

> The firm did not disclose the surface onto which the unit was dropped, nor did it perform any investigation into whether the device was more susceptible to damage sans its internal components and the added density and structural resistance they may provide.

> Nevertheless, the firm is using the experiment to generate attention and challenge Apple’s stated claim that the iPhone 4’s all-new design and build quality are “like no other mobile device.” The iPhone maker said earlier this week that the device’s [aluminosilcate glass front and back](http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/06/07/apple_unveils_redesigned_thinner_iphone_4_with_two_cameras.html) are “chemically strengthened to be 30 times harder than plastic, more scratch resistant and more durable than ever.”

If you want to have any sort of credibility, you need to disclose every detail about your tests. First and foremost, where you got this so-called iPhone that you tested. We know Apple didn’t give it to you. So what are the chances that this is a)an authentic iPhone 4, or b) representative of the final shipping product, even if it did come from Apple originally.
This is junk science at its worst.
Now, if two weeks from now, people start buying iPhone 4s in droves, and there are numerous reports of people accidentally breaking them very easily, then you MAY have an argument. But until then, you’re just trying too hard.
