I had the same experience you had. Some reasons for this: the glass was thicker, more shatter-proof but less scratch resistant, and smaller in area (large sheets of glass at the same thickness break more easily) compared to the latest phones.
- throwanem 10y agoWhat really annoys me is the switch from steel to aluminum, because the latter metal's sole palpable virtue in this context is its lightness. I've already had to take a file to my SE to smooth out a lip created by a drop from waist height onto bathroom tile, and I've only had the bloody thing for ten months! My 4S would've laughed off a drop like that - and did, two or three times. The greater scratch resistance of the new glass is nice, but I'd be willing to pay the cost in added weight for a more resilient body and frame. Alas, Apple does what Apple does, and has unaccountably failed to consult me.
