The overall body was made up of Glass+Plastic+ metal combo which suppose to make it more durable and resistant to tear. However, when iPhone 4 dropping test was performed at worldwide, it turned out to be very prune to tear and breakable.
Although iPhone 4S which was launched in seven countries at last weekend has brought some tremendous first weekend sales results but has failed the dropping test performed by Folks over at SquareTrade and reason behind this failure is similar design material used in iPhone 4. Moreover, this doping test was not performed alone but with Samsung Galaxy S II.
