For every one of those phone drop tests, they always have a fresh iPhone to destroy. If the different iPhone models are so universally acknowledged to be brittle, especially the iPhone 5, shouldn’t they benchmark it against a sturdier phone? Instead, they buy a new iPhone every time.

Oh, HTC released a new phone, let’s get that and a new iPhone to compare it with. Oh, there’s a new Samsung phone in the market. Let’s get a new iPhone to drop test alongside the new Samsung. Hey, Sony has a new Xperia out… see what I mean?

For each drop test video they do, these sites would buy a new iPhone, while Sony, Samsung, HTC, or other Android vendor gets one purchase each. Apple gets more out of these sites than each of the Android vendors do.
