As every year goes, people are curious how the latest iPhones fare in various tests. Some prefer to benchmark the processor, others like to drop the phones onto hard concrete to see if they break.

This report is about the latter bunch, namely Android Authority which, for some reason, seems to be quite interested in iPhones. At least once a year when Apple launches new versions.

This time around they had two iPhones to drop back-to-back, which gave them a reason to take mercy on their beloved Android devices.

The iPhone 5s performed as expected, in that it passed all three drop-tests (back, side, face) with flying colors. But what about the iPhone 5c?

Well, I wouldn’t want to spoil the fun for you, so go ahead and hit the play button (footage embedded above).
