So much for that "Ionized Glass" screen on the iPhone 6:
Oops
Late in my testing, I dropped the iPhone 6 Apple had lent me for this review. It fell flat on its screen from about five feet onto a concrete driveway when I got distracted while taking a photo. This was entirely my fault. But the entire screen was full of cracks. The phone continued to work perfectly, but Apple sent me another to complete my tests. The moral, which most iPhone users already know: Use a case.

Looks like the business for cracked iPhone screen replacement will keep booming...
(p.s. I had an original iPhone (1st generation) and it was damn near indestructible without a case. Dropped it multiple times and never cracked the screen)

The screen is intact. Had it in a rubber case ever since.
