Report: iPhone 6 Is “Most Durable”

Phone-smashers rejoice: Apple's new iPhone 6 is its toughest phone to date

Through rain, scratches and drops, the iPhone 6 pulled through. Apple's latest smartphone is also the company's most-durable smartphone, a conclusion reached by the phone-droppers at SquareTrade, according to reports.

The Wall Street Journal reports that after 10 seconds underwater and six 4-foot drops, the iPhone 6 was still making calls and receiving data from the Web.

In fact, the iPhone 6 is the best phone to drop, if one is inclined to do that. SquareTrade reported that Apple's latest gadget put in the "best drop performance" ever seen in one of its "drop tests."

The iPhone 6 Plus is not quite as hardy. Six drops in, the phone's panels came apart and the speakers stopped working.

The phones were also rubbed on wood and plastic to see if they would scratch. Damage was "minimal," SquareTrade reported.
