The iPhone X in all its glory has been said to have the most durable glass ever used in a smartphone according to Apple. While it might be all well and good to say this, SquareTrade has tested the iPhone X and found several durability tests at a height of 6 feet and found this Apple iPhone seems to be easily damaged. With a test score of 90 out of 100 points as a measurement of risk in their testing system, it makes it a high-risk model and with the high price to repair the iPhone X due to its tech, you won't want to be dropping this phone in a hurry. To compare to the SquareTrade tests, the Samsung Note8 had previously been named the "most fragile phone" with a score of 80 out of 100 after being subjected to the same tests.

iPhone X
The hype is real; pretty much all media outlets that were covering the latest addition to the iPhone line up have sung in unison about how the 10 year anniversary (does that make you feel old too?) of the iPhone was going to be a huge deal. It also happens to apparently coincide with a wave of current owners looking to upgrade from much older handsets as opposed to the normal technophile that might update every year or so. So with these 2 factors coming into play, it was a fairly safe call that Apple was going to try and pull something big out of its hat.
Now the curtain has been ripped away to reveal not 2 but 3 new hand sets coming to Australia early in November and we can now see if Apple can live up to the hype. So what is there to be excited about?
