Sure, but "way better?"

I mean, they run Android for starters. Do not want that. Apple supports their devices...huge win. More private, more secure, truly great cameras, and industry leading silicon. iPhones have very long usable lives too and thus hold value better for resale.

Plus they starts at a measly 1K for 64GB version... I mean how can we not see that.
Stop being a sheep man.

The fakest video I have ever seen. Lettuce and Green Onion? What? That's why I am using the case.
 
Apple phones lose over $500 per year in value. Most Android phones barely cost that much in the first place so if you use them for 2 years you're in profit.
So go buy one of those.

And iPhones don't lose "over $500 per year.'

Show me those $200 iPhone XRs for sale. Here's an auction for a 64GB XR ending soon with 18 bids for $565.

Well you can find morons who will pay any amount for anything. But Apple says the 12 month old XR is officially worth up to $370 now (maximum specifications, perfect condition).

That's just what Apple will give you...remember, that's not the market.

Ebay is a good indicator of market because THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE PAYING! Just like a used car market. Not only that, other SEVERAL other bidders were willing to pay very close to $500 for the Xr.

You may not like it, but you're completely wrong to say something like over $500/yr loss for iPhones. It's wrong.

According to Apple they lose that much value.

I'm not interested in eBay since half their sales end up being scams by the seller/buyer anyway.

That is an absurd and completely wrong analysis of eBay.

Again, Apple's trade in program isn't market value. It's like trading a car at the dealer...they win if you do it. And even if we take Apple's value, it's not over $500 like you lied about.
 
I notice they didn't drop it.
100 different soft objects is meaningless.

Plus nothing hit the top of the phone, which would have caused the lightning port to snap with a $600 repair bill.

Fake news.

How much was a maximum specification XR? Subtract $370 from that and let me know the answer you get.

How much was a maximum specification XS Max? Subtract $600 from that.

I was being generous with my $500 claim.

How many times do I have to tell you those aren't market values? That's a company trying to get you to buy another iPhone and make higher margins by you giving away your current one that's worth more than their offer...just like the car dealer.

And now you're starting to move the posts by saying "maximum spec." You also said $500/yr, which is also wrong because in another year, the Xr will be worth more than -$300. 'm not going down this path with you anymore. Your statement was exaggerated and wrong.

So I post an official Apple website backing up my claims and suddenly you're not interested in discussing it any more. Okay.
 
I don't think it's soft toys, vegetables and cake that people are worried about breaking their phones.
 
It’s glass it can and will crack easy. Unless it’s made of the glass they make those bridges of.
 
I like the idea of hurling food at a phone, but i'd rather eat it instead.

It's strong enough, if people use it properly.. Glass is still glass... it shatters.. You can't prevent that happening.

You can prevent designing your phone so that if the glass does shatter it costs $599 to repair
