Hi everyone!
Two days ago I accidentally dropped my iPhone 8. The height was less than 1 meter. The phone landed on the back. It didn’t suffer any external damage, nothing is broken. It was in a thin silicone case, and also had a screen protector.
However, yesterday I noticed my phone’s screen started to freeze. It froze a few times, mostly when opening a couple of apps, and once in Safari. Please note that each time I was able to exit the app by simply pressing the home button and everything would work again, so it’s not like I needed to perform hard reset or anything like that. But stuff like these never happened before!
My question is - is it really possible that a fall from less than 1 meter could have caused some internal damage? I even chatted with Apple Support and they ran remote diagnostics, and the results were all good. The screen didn’t freeze today, which is a good sign, I suppose!
