A new study released by a warranty provider, SquareTrade, claims a 68 percent higher accident rate for the iPhone 4 than the iPhone 3GS. Based on data from over 20,000 iPhone 4s, the study also suggests that 15.5 percent of iPhone 4 buyers will have an accident within a year, and that the device's screen accounts for four-fifths of the damage that occurred in the last four months. The latter figure is said to be "slightly higher" than the proportion for the 3GS.
