Fair point. Albeit average height for a male is still sub 6’ and the ear is still under that. And I do appreciate your perspective; I just don’t see too many people with their phone next to their ear.

It was in my locker at the gym, I pulled the gym bag out and the phone went out flying onto the floor, probably 4 ft from the ground. It is my fault it broke, but I think my previous phones would have held up better. I'm just glad for Apple Care, so it shall be restored soon enough to its crackless self.
Because I can go get a new one from Apple, with all new components, a battery with 0 cycles and 100% health, new screen, etc.
Why do you define "new" so narrowly to mean only the latest generation of iPhones? It's not like Apple stopped making new iPhone 7s in November 2017 - they still make them new.
My samsung s8 active is glass, and still not a scratch after 2+ years. I have thrown it 30 foot across a parking lot just to try to break one... and nope. Why can't someone make a phone like this again so I can justify switching from att dang it

Why hello dead thread and 1-post Samedung troll. And no, your S8 Active is plastic:

And per Tech Radar, your claim of not a scratch is utterly unfounded (never mind the common knowledge that plastic vs asphalt or concrete will result in scratches):
