How easily can iPhone 13 screen (and internals) get damaged?

Hi Viikkah,

Thanks for reaching out! iPhone screens are very durable, and iPhone 13 has Ceramic Shield which is the strongest glass ever in a smartphone. It would be very unlikely that any internal components would be damaged before the glass itself is damaged. Considering you also have a tempered glass screen protector installed, I personally would not be concerned about your internals.

Hi, Viikkah.

It's technically possible. Though with the weight and material AirPods are made of, it's unlikely any damage was caused. If for some reason you notice that your device actually has damage, you can set up service: iPhone Repair - Official Apple Support

Cheers.

A lot of things could happen, but it would take quite a bit to cause damage internally. If I dropped something that light, I'd worry more that it might scratch or possibly chip the glass.

Of course cumulative shocks eventually damage solder connections, but one little shock might be one of thousands of instances of bumping or rough handling.

Does a 9H tempered glass screen protector protect the iPhone screen against low-to-moderate impact knocks, bumps etc. at all?

I don't think it would protect much against the body being damaged. If anything, it would reduce scratches. But for that one usually wants a case. And my big worry is in protecting the body more than the glass. I've seen people with a combination of a case and a glass screen protector where the thickness meant that in total it protruded from the case and I suppose hitting the glass protector would mean shock to the body or possibly even the front screen.
