Well, a slightly less flippant answer: I’m seriously interested in finding out how an iPhone behaves when it falls. I’m very clumsy and in the 15+ years I’ve been using smartphones, I’ve dropped one more than once in such an annoying way that I’ve had to buy a new one.

Beyond the pure entertainment value of these videos - comparable perhaps to monster truck shows (‘haha look, the car is flat!’) - they are definitely a recommendation to buy for people like me.
