    I don’t know what iPhone glass is but it feels like even if iPhone users are a minority, the only people I see with broken screens are iPhone users… A friend of mine even broke his screen the same day he bought his phone and just lived with it like that for a year…

      Maybe it has something to do with the fact that some people who have iPhones as status symbols can’t afford to replace them if the screen breaks. Whereas someone who doesn’t care about brands can easily swap a broken Android for another budget phone.

        And also replacing a screen on android phones doesn’t cost the full value of the phone again. But apple makes it so doing the repair on an iPhone you might as well just buy a new iPhone instead.

        I put fairly cheap glass screen protectors on my phone, break one every 6 months or so, peel it off and replace it.

        I bought my S10e on launch day and both front and back glass are intact.

        Meanwhile, I see a LOT of iPhones in service that look like they’ve been jack hammered, to the point I wonder how you swipe on the touch screen without slicing your thumb open.
