This from SquareTrade Research… Based on a survey of more than 2,000 iPhone users, the results combined the cost of repairs, replacements and insurance deductibles for cracked, dropped, pummeled, kicked, and water-damaged iPhones. The study also found that in the last 12 months alone, 30% of iPhone users damaged their device.

The top five iPhone accident scenarios according to the study are:

  • Phone dropped from my hand
  • Phone fell into a toilet, sink, hot tub, swimming pool, lake, etc.
  • Phone dropped from a lap
  • Phone knocked off a table
  • Phone drenched by some liquid
