Apple Terminal was followed in the top of Motorola and HTC smartphones. At the opposite end stands the BlackBerry, which have the greatest chance of failing on its own within the first year of use. 4 Even if the iPhone is the safest from this point of view, things are totally different if the device make a harder contact with earth or other objects. 77% of the damages caused by the accident belonged to the iPhone. Thus, among all surveyed smartphones, the iPhone 4 registered four most damage after having been dropped or accidentally hit by hard objects.
