iPhone screen crack from side drop

My iPhone SE earlier today fell from my hand, I’d say from waist height (I’m 5’10”) it landed on the corner of the phone and the front cracked like spiderwebs from the home button going up. Is this supposed to be “common”? I didn’t feel as if it were that bad of a fall.

Well, there are stress points on the screen. Landing on the corner places a great deal of stress. Had the iPhone fallen flat, perhaps the damage would have less severe.


Anyway, the answer is academic. This should likely be your next step.
