Surprisingly, iPhone 8 has managed to overcome not only the first two knee-high falls. During durability test when the screen is treated with extreme heat for 10 seconds, the affected area goes black. However, once the affected pixels cool down, the screen becomes normal and the bend test of the iPhone 8 shows that it does not flex even with a lot of pressure.
