iPhone fell down on iPad screen I was doing some work with both the devices ( Phone & iPad) and suddenly the iPhone SE2020 slipped out of my hand and landed over the iPad8 gen screen from a 10-15 cm distance. The iPad has a tempered glass on and everything seems fine as of now (no scratches and iPad screen working fine) but I was just wondering can it damage the iPad screen by any chance? I’m a little afraid as I usually take very good care of my stuffs and both the devices are just 13 months old and I just can’t afford to replace it anytime soon. I’m nervous tbh as that collision sound still hitting my ears.

Screen on iPad shattered Our I pad 8 screen shattered. The device was purchased in October of 2022 and used daily. We used the machine this morning, put it on the charger, and went for a walk. When we returned we opened the case/cover and the screen was shattered. Small chunks have come out near the button, and the screen has well over 100 cracks around the perimeter extending like cobwebs to the center of the screen. The temp in the room has not exceeded 70 degrees and the iPad was not in the sun. Has anyone experienced this and what could the cause be?

Unless you put a screen protector on it, there is no screen protector.

You broke your screen.
