    Buh-wuh? Before I started reading this forum, I'd have asked WHO would try something that stupid, but I'm very aware now that "SC" and "common sense" are not concepts that belong in the same sentence.

      This reminds me of the hoaxes floating around when iOS7 came out, stating that among other things, your phone was waterproof and could handle drops of up to 1.5m.

      No, I did not fall for them (at the time I had an iPhone).

        To be fair, the drop one is true. Provided that you drop the phone onto something soft like a pillow.

          Speaking of which -- someone out there has apparently figured out how to take advantage of the motion sensors (in either iOS or Androids, unsure which), in order to make the phone do the Wilhelm Scream when it is dropped. Natch, they recommend dropping it onto something soft if you wanna test it out

            The drop think could be true if you have it in a good enough case.

            No, I don't drop my phone daily, nor I have I dropped it down a flight of ceramic tile stairs, why do you ask?

                      that is BRILLIANT. most likely Android if it's integrated into the OS shell, but an App should be possible with the iPhone (I mean you can get a whip-cracking app)

                        I wonder what the next spoof will be. IOS 9 including an enhancement for the iPhone 6 that lets you choose to make it either flexible (i.e. bending won't damage it) or ultra-rigid (so it won't bend when stressed)?
