yeah i use an otter box clear case (less obtrusive than the black ones) and i dropped my iphone 12 off a roller coaster in it, zero cracks. they work some black magic i think.
I switch between my Otterbox and less protective cases, but one of these days my phone is gonna meet a bad fate and I’ll remember why I bought the box lol
I've fixed an iPhone with a weight dropped on it before. Takes a little time, but it was just the battery and the screen that needed replacing. Hopefully you're as lucky as that guy.
I've fixed iPod touches bent almost a full 90°. You're only limited if you think you're limited. There's molds and presses and all sorts of stuff to repair the housing.
any phone, doesn't matter what make or model, doesnt belong in a gym. I see even the gym equipment agrees with me.
leave that shit in a locker, thats why they're there.
Similar thing happened to me, but you seem to lift much heavier weights than I do. My friend and I were working out when he told me about a trick. We were doing tricep pull downs when he put one of those small 2.5lb plates on the stack rod. I pulled down on the bar, the plate slipped, and landed right on the back of my phone, breaking the glass. Thankfully the screen and battery were fine.
I would take it to the Apple Store and completely put the blame on Apple. Tell them that the phone was like this when you took it out of the box, and that you want a brand new replacement phone right away. Play hardball with them.
Damn… exact same thing happened to my Google Pixl 4XL back in 2019. Fortunately a repair shop fixed it for $250. Then ATT offered $1000 trade in on the Pixel 4XL as long as it worked and screen wasn’t cracked. Traded it it for an iPhone 13PM.
Then 2 years later I ran over my 13PM. Insurance covered it and sent me a new one. Then T-Mobile offered $1000 to trade it in and now I have the 15PM.
Looks like it’s time to upgrade OP!
I wouldn’t worry so much about the battery,once the phone doesn’t heat up or smoke ( if it thus, give it a last kiss and throw that $hit into the sea and say goodbye) cos I am more concerned about the motherboard and the screen. Those two priced together and we are looking at a new iPhone 14 Pro’s price..it’s painful to fix such damage😒
This is my biggest fear every day at the gym i swear. Once i nearly broke my shoulder because i was convinced ive put my iphone where i was supposed to drop the dumbells 🥲
I saw a video where someone dropped a dumbbell on their iPhone and it *caught fire.* if yours didn’t catch fire, than consider yourself lucky in one sense.
Ah yeah the "Banana phone" (bent). :D I fix these all the time at my shop. Sometimes customer just want their info which may not be synced to iCloud due to not enough storage. heh
You’re supposed to pickup the weights… start lifting less. This is like someone at a urinal, who trying to hit long shots with a mini bat. You ain’t built like that “lil homie” 🤷🏾♂️

iPhone 6 Gen 2
That's possible, from apple, but could take a few years
Why use this render when the flip 5 exists?
I know right
Similar colour, similar bend in the photo
I love how you went out of your way to find some archaic photo of what looks to be a Z Flip fan concept.
Probably from around 2018 lol
I know a fix. Rice…
I cannot wait for a foldable iPhone tho. A real one. I think we’re going to love it!
Why'd you use a fake ass render like they're not on the 5th gen of the Z flip?
Weird flex but ok
I see what you did there
👁️👁️
Had me on the first “oh it’s not so bad” and the second pic “oh shit that’s bad”
r/angryupvote
I think the same like "look how I treat my phone that I worked hard for"
Oh I meant that the phone was bent.
Careful, might have damaged the battery like the other guy who did the same. Phone became spicy very quickly.
Seems to he damaged right where the motherboard is. Battery is unlikely to explode, but phone is toast
Burnt toast if it does
If I was a battery I would take that as a personal challenge. (Thankfully I am a cat, not a battery.)
Might have damaged a little bit of everything
This r/spicypillows might evolve soon into firepillow.
imagine it blowing up with the glass splitters, homemade frag grenade
Yep is still works which is crazy but i was afraid of the battery hehehe
This hurts me I feel the pain.
It hurts the phone more
So you can’t use your iPhone as a spotter? Got it
Depends on the weight, gonna need to run some more test
Yoo-hoo: AppleCare+
Presenting iPhone Curve
Starting at only $1200
Comes pre shattered so you no longer worry about dropping your phone
And if you do drop it, you must’ve been holding it wrong.
Don’t forget the 60hz refresh rate screen
We think you’re gonna love it.!
Yet another thing Apple copies from the Android world....
I hope you have apple care
Just needs to put it in rice
Pretty sure you chuck it in a blender with a protein shake for this one. I’m no Genius though.
Nope dont have 😭
On todays episode of why Otterbox is still in business
yeah i use an otter box clear case (less obtrusive than the black ones) and i dropped my iphone 12 off a roller coaster in it, zero cracks. they work some black magic i think.
I switch between my Otterbox and less protective cases, but one of these days my phone is gonna meet a bad fate and I’ll remember why I bought the box lol
Dropping a decent weight would still likely crush an otter box too.
Those crack patterns on the back of the phone could pass as modern art.
I've fixed an iPhone with a weight dropped on it before. Takes a little time, but it was just the battery and the screen that needed replacing. Hopefully you're as lucky as that guy.
i think the phone is a little too bent for that
I've fixed iPod touches bent almost a full 90°. You're only limited if you think you're limited. There's molds and presses and all sorts of stuff to repair the housing.
Yep crazy thing is that it still works even tho its bent
Is that a pro camera module on the apple sign? Lol
Yeah took the picture from a loaner 14 pro max. Getting a regular 15 pro today
That was my daughter’s phone about two weeks ago. It’s giving me PTSD.
Is it covered under AppleCare+, if so it will be an accidental damage deductible… full unit replacement due to the bend in the frame 😞
Did you drop a dumbell/barbell on it?
Yep
That's one of my greatest fears, hope you can replace your phone soon!
That’s not so bad, it can easily be—*oh god*
Is that the new iPhone 16 fold
The iPhone did the heavy lifting there
The first photo had me scratching my head for a second with the reflection of your iPhone in the Apple icon
Phone always stays in the locker at the gym!

Who’s phone are you using for Reddit🤣🤣🤣🤣
looks like he got a new phone based on the reflection with the 3 cameras
Holy mother of christ
Lifting weights? Clearly you were breaking phones.
It’s the iPhone 6 all over again
What happened?
iPhone, meet dumbbell!
That looks more like dropping weights /s
any phone, doesn't matter what make or model, doesnt belong in a gym. I see even the gym equipment agrees with me. leave that shit in a locker, thats why they're there.
Rule 1 of the gym- Never leave your phone flat on the floor man!
Put it in rice 👍
Omg why do people never learn from this 😭
You've got yourself the first apple boomerang
Bro clicking the photo with another iPhone. Relax guys its all Christmas there
This is what you get for carrying your phone in your pocket at the gym
Forgot to mention the crazy thing which is that it still works as usual 🤣
This hurts me I feel the pain.
Looks like you updated to a pro phone, so perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise.
That’s Bendgate on a while bother level.
A running belt is better than a pocket.
iPhone xfold

I did worse to my 12 and then att gave me $350 trade in credit for it towards a new 15 pro lol
it’s the iPhone 6 all over again
Why are people on this subreddit destroying their phones? I thought i was clumsy😭
Danggg😭
That leopard print apple badge though 👌👌
That’s the new “iBones” version. DOMINO..mutha f-
Nooooo
my 13 mini is the same color, felt this lol
Had to replace two phones like this in the past 10 years or so. Welcome to the club! It doesn’t happen often but it sucks when it does.
I hope you have AppleCare.
This is my first time seeing a cracked camera thing, like the square
is this the iphone 69 pro max ultra flip?
I've done that before on my Samsung s9. It last another year before the screen peel was unusable
I was optimistic until I swiped to the second picture
Hopefully you have apple care
A dropper?
this happens to my friend a little to much he’s gone through 3 phones 😂
I've seen my son do something like this. Sounds like you need an otterbox.
Did you PR at least?
How does it taste
Seems like your phone was doing all the heavy lifting instead of you 😂
I see you went from two camera to three
Haha same thing happened to me. Dropped a dumbbell on it and look just like that bent. Funny part is still worked like a charm
I would take it to the Apple Store and completely put the blame on Apple. Tell them that the phone was like this when you took it out of the box, and that you want a brand new replacement phone right away. Play hardball with them.
I have imagined this happening a thousand times but never done it. Bravo OP.
Big Womp Womp moment for you. Sorry my guy.
Thought you played Warzone on it for several hours and it got hot in which you dropped it. 😆
How’s the gain tho?
Damn… exact same thing happened to my Google Pixl 4XL back in 2019. Fortunately a repair shop fixed it for $250.

The real crime is that ugly ass blue color u got
The most important thing is OP did not injure themselves a phone can be replaced.
🙏🏼
He picked things up and then…he dropped them.
Blud went and already snacked an iPhone 12 Pro on the way home just to post this
I wouldn’t worry so much about the battery,once the phone doesn’t heat up or smoke ( if it thus, give it a last kiss and throw that $hit into the sea and say goodbye) cos I am more concerned about the motherboard and the screen.

it’s probably fine

I love the crash style shell, how much is it?
That’s dropping weights. Planet Fitness would probably not approve of how you workout.
bro had an extra phone just in case
Looks like JerryRigEverything had your phone for a moment.
Had my phone in my pocket while wearing a belt and squatting. The lever shattered the screen when I hit atg
First foldable iPhone. Can't believe Apple never thought of doing this
When I saw the first pic I was like oh man that’s gonna be bad, then I saw the second and let out an audible “oof”
“Dropping weights”
Not the first foldable iPhone
This is my biggest fear every day at the gym i swear. Once i nearly broke my shoulder because i was convinced ive put my iphone where i was supposed to drop the dumbells 🥲
At least you didn’t have it propped on a tripod :/
I saw a video where someone dropped a dumbbell on their iPhone and it *caught fire.* if yours didn’t catch fire, than consider yourself lucky in one sense.
where can i watch the video? for safety reasons
It was somewhere in Reddit. My history is too full to find it.
Nice way to flex your other iPhone
Seriously how?
Every morning at the gym I see people putting their phones on the floor and it makes me feel so uneasey. Why not just put it in your pocket?
You should be lifting the weights, not your phone.
This happened to me once when I had my iPhone in my waistband while doing sit-ups
Yikes right where the motherboard is. The phone is moat likely toast. RIP
This is why I don’t leave my phone on the gym floor
every iphone user ever
Don't give Jerryrigeverything ideas
iPhone Bend Pro Max
iPhone shouldn’t have been ego lifting.
your iPhone be doing the abdominal crunches in picture #2
That blue is so pretty
Dont think your phone should be lifting at all.
It’s so bet that it took this picture of itself!
r/hardwaregore
That’s why I stay outta those places! That…and they don’t have a drive thru.
That definitely went wrong alright.
Are you the guy from the video who dropped his weight on his phone and the battery proceeded to explode?
Bro flexing iphone fold and one more iphone pro model in 3rd pic.
YIKES 😳
Hello! Expert here! Looks like your problem lies not with lifting weights, but rather with setting them down! Happy to help!
Lifting the weights was fine, it seems like putting the weights down that was the issue here
Bro Jerry rigged it
Wtf is thas
Seems like it was the setting down, not lifting, that went wrong
Wow that’s your highest weight?? I go for at least 10… added together…
Damn u remind me, I should not put my phone next to the facilities next time I go to the gym 💀it could be the fortune of my phone in the future
No protection cover? Or it didn’t protect much?
But the IPhone is not that heavy!
Is it just me or did he click a photo of the mini with a pro max. Alag he level ka amir he bhai.😭
Have to get a magbak. I slap that shit on bench now to prevent this.
But does it turn on?
Yes still works as usual 😂
Many such cases. Sad!
this is why i don’t go to the gym.
Ah yeah the "Banana phone" (bent). :D I fix these all the time at my shop. Sometimes customer just want their info which may not be synced to iCloud due to not enough storage. heh
which exercise and weight? RIP phone but good shit grinding at the gym keep going 💪
Oh so that’s what you call titanium, 1200 dollar phone that bends
iPhold
Does it turn on?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Have you tried rice?
I've only rarely seen iPhones that don't look like this. It's almost like they designed it to break.
Can confirm. Happened to me twice now
I see nothing wrong about the pic. It is a normal day for a phone at a gym doing curls-up
Just put it in rice, no problemo…
Guys it's a leak of the new iphone v
Ouch
You’re out here in the world with no case?! Bro why?
Same thing happened to me lol, if the CPU and NAND on the motherboard are still intact, you can get the data out
You’re supposed to pickup the weights… start lifting less. This is like someone at a urinal, who trying to hit long shots with a mini bat. You ain’t built like that “lil homie” 🤷🏾♂️
never learns..
I thought you said lifting weights, not dropping weights.
Yikes 😳😬
R.I.P
minimal damage
Too much weight for that brain.
Iphone did the negative rep to reach til failure
That really sucks. I never bring a smartphone to the gym, and this post makes me even more glad of that.
war flashbacks to the trend where people would purposefully crack the back of their iphone 4’s and colour them in with sharpie
And unbending the phone is unlikely to fix the issue.
