Hi, I'm working on my game, and in the game it requires a LOT of tapping (as fast as you can), but I'm afraid that I might get complaints that someone tapped too much/too hard that it caused there screen to break :-O what should I do? ditch the idea, or create the game & take the risk :/ Thanks

    The devices are tested for millions of touches. I still have an iPhone 2G - so it's fine - if you get players slamming their screen so hard it causes dark spots - chances are you have a good game, like Tiny Wings, the players are so in to it and want to press harder to go faster/further etc?

    Honestly, I think the responsibility lies with the consumer in this case. I had an idea yesterday to make a game where you spin your iPhone on a flat surface like a top and use the accelerometer to measure speed for leaderboards. Turns out the accelerometer doesn't measure that, as far as I could tell. And yeah, part of me thought: lawsuit waiting to happen but I figure with the proper warnings it might be okay.
