I got my iPhone about 2 weeks ago & I was walking to the store and it slipped out my pocket (which is like 3-4 ft ) and the screen cracked smh My 6s screen is tougher than the iPhone 7 screen

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident. They are the same glass as the 6s. I hope you had Applecare+ on it.

You obviously never dropped the 6s like you did the 7. Or it would have cracked too

I dropped my 6s multiple times on the sidewalk at a higher distance and the screen never cracked

All depends on the angle of impact. You got lucky before. Sadly not so much this time.

Like the other comment said you must have got lucky with the 6s. I dropped my 7 today, it had a case and no screen protector. Fell on the corner and then tipped over to the back. If it had tipped over to the screen i am sure it would have shattered.

Wow I am really sorry it must have landed in just the wrong way to brake in that situation

Sorry to hear that! its never a nice feeling when you drop something you like so much and it get damaged. Maybe from now on put a screen protector on? That might help for future drops (which i hope doesn't happen)

That sucks, do you have Apple care, if so then your good to go. Also get a tempered glass from zagg. Well worth the money.
