Yep, it was going to happen sooner or later – an iPhone decides it is going to headbutt a tiled floor, and ends up coming off much worse! In some respects, it’s fascinating to see how the impact has played out across the glass – but on the flipside, it’s incredibly inconvenient as obviously the uber-phone is out of action!
However, the results of the altercation between the iPhone and the floor have given me an idea – do you have a pic of your phone, post-accident, that you want to share with the IntoMobile readership? If so, pop a link to the image in the comments, and give us a line or two about what happened – at the time, it’s heartbreaking, but on reflection we can all have a wry smile at the effects of Mobile devices meeting a sticky end!
Oh yes – that is sticky tape on top of the crack by the way – firstly, to stop fingers getting glass splinters, and secondly because believe it or not, the touchscreen is still working fine!
About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
