    I’ve literally never broken the glass on any of my phones ever, and have dropped them tons of times.

    Maybe I’m just lucky but I don’t know that it’s as easy to do as you may think it is. Maybe in whatever setting you’re using a phone in, sure. In which case, absolutely a case is the right answer, glass back or no since you seem to be hard on your devices.

    The benefits of glass evidently outweigh the one possible drawback of being easier to break. It’s not Apple’s fault you break your phones. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      I see glass backed phones with cracks in them constantly. It’s definitely not just a me thing. But ok. I haven’t bought any of the glass backed gen for a reason. You people who buy every new version have fun with it.

        Hey man, we don’t know each other and shouldn’t get upset over a phone. Most people upgrade every 1-2 years and/or slap a case on their phones, so as you stated it doesn’t really matter what material the back is made of, since even if it cracks most people won’t have to look at it and their phone will probably work just fine anyway.

        Apple has for a very long time now prioritized materials that are highly recyclable, feel good in the hand and look good. Traditionally, that’s glass and metal. That’s what you get with iPhones, and it hasn’t changed since they were first introduced with glass backs in 2017.

        I didn’t say cracking your phone is a you thing, just that you seem by your own admission to crack phones a lot. If that’s true, then you should consider a case regardless of the phone you get or what material it’s made of.

        My god, any disagreement on the internet anymore is immediately interpreted as a personal attack. Use the phone you want to use, smh.

          As a neutral observer, you’re the one taking this too personally or as an attack more than they appear to be meaning it to be one. Check yoself.

          Thats why I tend to avoid posting anymore and just lurk. I agree with you about the glass back and I’ve replace my phone every year. But I sell off the phones the moment I have a new phone and I feel that its worth every dollar as well.

          I also see alot of people are happy about the usb c change but I dread over it. Honestly, lightning cable is superior. Why? I prefer the cable being fucked, than the port being fucked. But hey, everyone is happy about usbc and ill just let it be. I have my magsafe anyway.
