Why iPhones Crack So Easily

A cracked iPhone is the most common repair performed at Apple’s retail stores. With a quarter of users experiencing it. But why do iPhones seem so fragile in the first place? Well that’s what I’ll explain right now.

Of course that is glass, and we see scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7.

The thing about androids is now false because similarly priced androids also have glass edge to edge displays

1:43 many flagship Androids have curved displays which actually makes them more susceptible to broken screens than iPhones.

2:03 Also, with the iPhone 12, in addition to Ceramic Shield, the glass no longer curves over the metal frame. So now, the metal frame absorbs most of the impact when you drop your phone.

Quick answer : as one guy said IT scratch at level 6, with deeper grove at level 7, the iPhone break easily

Proud to say that I have never broken an iPhone screen or back and I’ve had every generation since the iPhone 4.I do use a case and screen protector though but I never drop my phones.I never purchase AppleCare as I don’t need to.

We've had iPhone 4, 6 and 12 and never had an issue. I guess we're just more careful with our expensive devices. Plus we don't put them in our back pockets and sit on them.

The rear glass is more crack able than the back. From experience with Apple Care, $29 for the front, $99 for the back. Put a good case on your phone.

0:56 I find it funny whenever a picture of an iPhone is put next to an Android phone in promotional material it's always this specific Android phone which is being used

[samuelvancea]

Always use a a good case and tempered glass screen protector since day one.Your phone shows how well you take care of it.My phones always look as good as new after years of use and I have never broken or cracked any of them.

Android Smartphone (specially the mir expansive ones) have all even more curved screens! But they still manage to deal with drops.

[joermnyc]

Gorilla glass is some incredible stuff, but always use a case with a lip around the screen edge. My 12 dropped about 5 feet face first onto concrete after a guy in a poorly tuned tuner car backfired right in front of me (and scared everyone on the street)… no cracks. (I use a Spigen case with the magsafe charger ring built in, but anything with that lip around the screen edge will work.)

My school van driver uses iPhone XS. He says he dropped his phone for uncountable times and yet it is really durable. The type of casing he used is a leather flip casing.
