I've abused every single iPhone since the first one, only recently in the last couple of years putting a case on because they are too slippery now. Never had a single cracked screen, even dropping on pavement. You have to be quite unlucky to hit things just right.
- 113 7y agoThat's great, good for you.
- overcast 7y agoThanks! I appreciate it.
- Izkata 7y agoLikewise here with a Samsung Galaxy S that lasted 8 years, without a case or cover. Plenty of dropping on all sorts of hard surfaces, no cracked screen. Some of the finish started smudging off on the back though. I have no idea what people are doing to cause such damage. (Only ended up replacing that phone because it started just not picking up calls and texts for days at a time)
- TeMPOraL 7y agoWell, my friend's S7 cracked itself overnight. My S4 cracked twice due to dropping it on the floor, both times I had the screen replacement. My current S7 fell frequently, but is still mostly intact. As far as I can tell, everyone in my immediate family cracked their smartphone at least once over past few years. Beyond dropping, as far as I can tell, there are two other common causes of screen breakage. One, sitting on it (a lot of people carry their phones in their back pockets, which is something I cannot understand; beyond accidents, this makes them vulnerable to pickpocketing). Two, women sometimes crush their phones in their purses (especially when they are in hard covers that act as levers when an item gets between it and the cover).
- jrockway 7y agoI have dropped multiple phones and never broken the glass. I dropped my iPhone XS hard onto the sidewalk, but it hit the side of my case and while the case was quite damaged, the phone is pristine.
