Bizarre Social Media Trend: They’re Deliberately Smashing Their Phones to Look More “Masculine”
A peculiar new trend has been added to the strange movements spreading on social media. This time, some users are deliberately damaging their expensive iPhone models to make them look older, worn-out, and more 'masculine'. Videos shared reveal the back covers of the phones being broken, scratched, and punctured with various tools.
It is indicated that the trend started to spread on TikTok with posts showing old and damaged phones to appear 'more masculine'.
They're breaking sturdy phones to wear them out.
At the heart of this trend is the idea of tarnishing the new and shiny appearance of the phone, making it look more used and battered. Users are shattering the glass back of their phones, creating scratches, or inflicting damage with sharp objects.
However, these actions often result in more than just altering the appearance. Some phones malfunction or become completely unusable after such interventions. Despite this, the spread of these videos is increasing the visibility of this trend on social media.
Experts are issuing warnings regarding battery life and water resistance.
Cracking the glass back cover of your phone can potentially disable its water-resistance feature. Particularly in newer models, cracks on the back surface can pave the way for liquids or dust to infiltrate the device.
However, the greater risk emerges on the battery front. Attempting to puncture the phone or shatter it with hard objects can inflict serious damage on the battery, posing a significant hazard. Consequently, experts emphasize that physically damaging expensive devices just to grab attention on social media is risky, both in terms of economy and safety.
