So I was helping my friend move today and put my iPhone 5S on the top of a 6 foot ladder soviet wouldn't get bashed up in my pocket . There wasn't a table , so it was the only thing I had .

However, my buddy moved the ladder and the phone fell on the pavement .

The phone was in a speck candyshell grip case, and as far as I can tell there's no damage to the outside of the phone. But I don't know about the inside of the phone.

The phone seems to function normaly. It turns on and everything . If there was internal damage from the impact , would I immidetly know it. As in, the phone just wouldn't work?

I don't want to obsessively look at my phones performance for any little hitch and think it was damaged fur to the fall, but us there anyway to ease my mind?
