I have an iPhone XR and I dropped it from what is estimated to be about a meter drop. In terms of accessories I have a glass protector and a casing ( prodigy is the brand I think )
should i I be concerned about its internals getting damaged ? For its external hardware nothing seems to be cracked. Sorry if I may sound paranoid, picked up this phone not a while ago. Thanks in advance for any responses
It's the kind of thing where you could have dropped it 30 cm and it might have damaged something, or you could have dropped it from 2 meters and it survived. Unless there's some visible damage or malfunction there's no way to tell and probably even if you took it to Apple they couldn't tell any more than you can. The most delicate part is probably the glass back and front. Check those for damage and then decide if it makes a difference to you and consider replacement cost. I have seen people walking around with multiple cracks in their displays but it's a matter of what you can live with. If you see no other problems with phone function then you probably don't need to worry. If something starts misbehaving then take it to a Genius Bar for evaluation.

I can't say for sure. My guess is if you had a lot of things set up on the phone when you finished using it last time, the phone is then trying to open a bunch of apps and do some connections as part of the re-opening process.
I wouldn't be too concerned. If you notice problems, then you should take it in, but if its just a metre drop, I wouldn't be too worried.
Hi thanks for the reassurance. I have another question that is not really related to the fall at all. A week before the drop, my phone had a weird bug where it would take a few extra seconds to get into the phone after entering the passcode. ( it’s usually around 2-3 seconds ) Why does happen ? Everything seems fine with the software except the passcode log in phase
Hello,
I have dropped my ex iphone xr in a case from 1.2 meters and it did not have any issue in the upcomming months. So unless anything is visibly cracked I suggest that you keep using it as you would normally do. Don't worry !
I dropped my phone, should I be concerned about it ? Drop seems to be a meter high
