Never ceases to amazing me how elected officials think.  These people carry Apple and Google tech with them at all times, then have so much free time on their hands that they ask themselves, "How can we bite the hand that feeds us, giving the average citizen the impression we're actually doing something great on their behalf?"

Country doesn't matter.  This mentality universally true.

I agree with people who correctly stated that a 6-foot drop test is largely meaningless, as the average drop height onto a hard surface is much less than that.

Even more frustrating is the fact that most people turn to YouTube video reviews to get a feel for what kind of protective case they should get, and yet few reviewers do drop testing.  This is especially important for aesthetically pleasing cases like leather, which is known to rip when dropped, then leaving you with a case that looks worse than a silicone or plastic case that endured the same drop.

In other words, we need PROPER DROP TESTING not only for the naked Phones, but also for popular cases too.  You'd think with the popularity of the iPhone spanning 15 years that we'd have more videos that show us proper testing!  But no. We have almost no such testing at all.  It's crazy.

I'd never heard of "KeyBanc Capital Markets" until I read this article, making the need for an article rather unusual.

But who hasn't heard of Warrant Buffet?

Conclusion: Stop listening to obscure analysis and investment firms.  Instead, watch the moves of Warrant Buffet:



Go AAPL.

Great article, thanks!

I know AppleInsider often considers YouTubers a less than reliable source of information, but consider well what one respected tester has to say about the Instagram app consistently raising iPhone temperatures when doing nothing at all, which holds true among different iPhone models...

Nothing I read in the AppleInsider article seems to address the Instagram app, which as you know is not a gaming app.  And like I said, the testing indicates a large temperature increase even when doing nothing.  Since Apple vets all apps distributed in its app store, the question becomes how did Apple allow the Instagram app to get their approval?  Does Apple bear no responsibility for allowing apps that overheat iPhones to continue to be distributed?

I would appreciate it if you folks at AppleInsider could test the Instagram app and then write a follow-up article sharing your detailed thoughts.  Because in my opinion, if the Instagram app can cause heat to rise dramatically for no good reason at all, logic dictates that other non-gaming apps could do so as well.  This needs serious investigation.

Thank you.
