iPhone 11 screen ‘smashes’ after £729 smartphone is thrown outside Apple Store


Today, eager iPhone fans around the world flocked to Apple stores to get their hands on the tech giant’s latest smartphones – the iPhone 11 , iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

But fans in the queue outside Apple’s store on 5th Avenue, New York, were in for a surprise, as one brave phone case company put the iPhone 11 to the ultimate test.

Mous, which is known for its protective cases, threw a brand new iPhone 11 to one surprised passer-by, who didn’t see it coming, leading to the £729 crashing to the ground.

When the passerby, 14-year-old Michael Burkhardt, picked up the phone, the screen appeared to have cracked, much to his dismay.

He said: “I came here today to see the new Apple store, with the expectation of just taking pictures, honestly. Someone walked up to me to ask if I was going to get the new iPhone, which I wanted but I wouldn’t have been able to get it because I’m 14 and it’s out of my price range!.

“I was blown away when they said they had queued up to get a phone to give away, and that they were going to give it to me!

“When it landed on the floor it seemed like it had cracked, just like the phone I already have.”

However, all was not as it seemed – Mous had actually applied a pre-smashed glass screen protector onto the iPhone 11 before throwing it at Mr Burkhardt.

Thankfully, once this had been removed, the iPhone was completely fine, thanks to the Mous Limitless 3.0 case it had on it.

Lucy Hutchinson, co-founder of Mous, said: “This stunt gave us the opportunity to start up conversations with people around NY and really show them what our products can stand up to.”
