The iPhone XS is a pretty sturdy phone considering gorilla glass in both the front and back. However, maybe through sheer bad luck, your phone can face some catastrophic damage, which may damage your iPhone. One of the most common damages in phones is cosmetic damage, such as display glass or back glass. But sometimes your housing of the iPhone XS may get damaged. Considering it has sustained some serious damage. There’s a point to be cleared out: the housing of the iPhone should not be confused with the back-glass replacement of the iPhone XS.

So, if you, somehow, have managed to get your back part (housing) damaged. Damages to the housing may include...

• The housing of the iPhone XS bent, stressed
• Deformation of the housing
• Housing breaking into pieces
• Visible scratches and dents
• Loosening of the adhesive that holds the housing

Any sort of damage or deformation on the back housing of the iPhone XS indicates that it might lead to an internal issue in the future. Also, a damaged back housing may harm your inner parts, like the battery, display, and other peripherals of your iPhone. An iPhone XS is IP68 rated, which means it is water- and dustproof. However, it can’t protect your phone from dust and water with damaged housing. And in that sense, the housing of the iPhone XS serves more purpose than just visual aesthetics.
