They build glass phones with glass on both sides. Glass. You know that super durable material that is broken by kids with baseballs and breaks easy when dropped?
iPhones get more updates sure. More durable? No. I'm pretty sure a Samsung Active can withstand more abuse. I'm pretty confident that my plastic backed with only a glass screen average Android phone could too.
- edmundsauto 5y agoI’m not a person who is gentle with their tech - it’s a tool, not a fetish - and in 14 years of owning an iPhone, I have only broken the glass once. This is tough stuff - it’s not like it’s the single pane my dad installed in the garage door that I promptly broke by looking sideways at it. Yes, it could be sturdier. But that would require other trade offs. Just because you don’t value those decisions doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong. It just means your values were not the primary use case. Diversity is good because people value different sets of trade offs!
- simfree 5y agoYou must not have kids that demand to play with games on your phone then. I have witnessed many iPhones get smashed when said kids drop the phone (almost always by accident). One person I know went through 3 iPhones in a year due to this :(
- zimpenfish 5y agoDo people have some weird objection to phone cases? I've got a $5 case on my 12 Pro and I've dropped it many, many times in the past year without a single issue.
