> where the cost when repaired by Apple is fairly reasonable. Careful, if Louis Rossmann reads that you may give him a sudden case of apoplexy. The only thing "fairly reasonable" about what Apple likes to charge is that you fairly reasonably may as well just buy a new phone.

I've broken iPhones around 10 times. Not a single time was the cost of repair even close to the cost of a new phone.

  How did you break them?
  - fastball 5y ago
    Impact, water, normal use.

  If I broke something 10 times in one decade, I'd probably be looking to replace it ASAP.

    It's not one phone, it's multiple phones that I've broken at different times for different reasons.

      Even worse then, it sounds like they're doing a bad job of iterating on the design if it's continued to break.
