I don't know why you're thinking you're going to any better off with some other smartphone. I broke my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's screen and nobody could fix it. Nobody would replace it. I checked icracked, tmobile stores, called around. Now I have a LGV20 in an otter case, and the class that covers the camera has cracks. These phones are fragile.
At least with iPhones you have a large enough market where small businesses can help. With some random android phone from LG with nationwide sales in the low millions annually I'm pretty much not going to find anyone to help me fix anything. And there aren't like any LG stores, like there are Apple stores you can go to.
- Udo 10y agoI can live with the fact that they are fragile. Although I think part of that fragility has been designed right in on purpose by Apple, it's still my fault for dropping the thing on the asphalt. My problem, and the reason why I want to stop supporting Apple specifically is that my ridiculous $1000 phone has a home button that is cryptographically coupled to the device, and physically bonded to the display, in an effort to make repairs impossible.
