It seems that having chosen to maintain the same design as in 2020 and even that we already saw in the iPhone 8 has not been as good an idea as it seemed. This makes us run into a terminal that is very up-to-date on the inside, with the latest software and even a good processor, but on the outside it does not last as long as we would like. If you have already bought it, you should go looking for a case and screen protector.
At the first fall it shatters
As we can see in the images of the drop test that the red model of the latest generation iPhone SE has faced, not even after a first fall at pocket height is the screen saved. This shows us that a good protection against scratches and breakage of the panel is very important. One of the points where Apple seems to have cut the price, which could become very harmful for users.
A fall that most current smartphones resist or at least are less affected, but in this case leave the screen completely broken. Although the mobile is still on, it can be dangerous to continue using it, since the glass could cut our fingers when using it. The visibility of the content has been greatly affected, so, in a new phone, with a single fall, we would have to make a large outlay to replace the panel, specifically 171 euros.
When the phone falls on its edge or on its back, we do have a different result, since here, the aluminum-based material prevents it from being damaged as was the case with the panel from the front. Of course, the marks of the fall are also evident and little by little the color peels off revealing a metallic tone. For this to happen, more height has not been needed either, with falling from the pocket, we already see marks on the Apple device. But above all it hurts to see how the fall affects the panel and the broken screen ends up breaking, creating cracks.
The moment we raise the height of the fall a little, when falling with one of the frames or with the rear, it is very affected. Then the phone cracks almost completelyagain affecting the front glass that was already practically destroyed, making it unusable.
This leaves us, as a result, a smartphone that is far from designed to hold in our hands without any type of cover or protective glass. If you already have it in hand, we have already mentioned the advice, but if you have not bought it yet, it will be better to think of other alternatives that do not end up deteriorating so quickly, no matter how much Apple has a great asset in software.
