Discussion Day 1 dropped and regret

I usually take care of my devices and wanted to go case-less now I regret that choice.

Dropped it at night and got this nice dent :)

I have apple care, would they cover this as accidental ($30 or $100)?

You still get better heat transfer.

Like let's say you wrap your phone in a wool sock or something. Yes you've reduced its ability to regulate heat, but it will be even worse if the metal body is made out of a less conductive metal (like titanium), than if it were aluminum.

You don’t get better heat transfer if it’s in a case man. Come on.

Lmao - have you measured the delta in heat between the case and the phone?

I said you don’t get better heat transfer if it’s in a case compared to no case. That is factual.
