These Are The Most Damaged Barely Alive iPhones Owned By Deadspin Readers

This is the only fried device, in our collection of splendidly damaged iPhones that you, Deadspin readers, sent to enter the Deadspin iPhone repair contest. All the other iPhones work, in spite of every bit of pain you have inflicted upon them.

Regrettably, a Gizmodo reader won the title of Most Damaged iPhone, so none of you will receive the iFixIt kit. Your iPhones will remain broken, unless you shell out for new ones.

Writes Kyle Wiens, the iFixit CEO, who judged the contest, "I think the Deadspin damage is more creative—with the notable exception of Gizmodo's Brian Tye, who took the cake. The Gizmodo entries had a lot of glass damage, while the deadspin folks went a little more in-depth, killing a few more LCD screens. It takes a serious impact to knock out the LCD as well as crack the glass."

So we have that.
