"Most Durable" glass cracks after 4 waist-height drops

[Nozuka]

glass can also weaken with every drop, even if you dont see a crack yet.

 

[bushman4]

as long as we see the word 'glass' in the description it means it's breakable
Regardless of the expression the toughest etc etc it's still going to break under the proper circumstances
This is the trade off for. Wireless charging

lol the apologizing begins..hahahaha

We get these same type post every new phone.

If you do not like, DO NOT BUY IT.

It wouldn’t appear, given his post history, that the OP intends to buy one.

I think only superman can never drop his phone.

Nickelback anyone? I'll just let myself out...

 

[maflynn]

Lol...most durable.

Its still glass and no matter what people think, it will still crack/shatter from a drop, if the material it lands on is hard or it lands just right.

 

[Azzin]

Lol...most durable.

How many more of these trolling posts are you going to make?

 

[bufffilm]

Lol...most durable.

I look at it the same way the ip67 rating on the phone...if you get it wet or it survives a dunk w/o damage...then great.

But if it did get water-damaged...Apple won't do a thing for you.

Same thing here.

Well, was it it really necassary to replace the durable metal back with glass?
Just for inductive charging? Was there no other way?

Wait so now aluminum is being touted as “durable”? lol

 

[jamezr]

For me personally....I don't mind the glass back. I kinda like it because it is different.
I know that i can put a case on it and wireless charging will still work. For me the trade off is worth it.
Then the term "Most Durable" is just marketing speak.

Real life drop test didn't turn out so well. This slippery devil slid off the arm of my recliner onto a tile floor. Maybe 2 feet. Still waiting for the case to arrive.

A broken back glass cant be fixed. You need a new phone

Wife left a 6S+ on top of her car and it fell off onto road. No cracks/damage. Same phone fell in house on hardwoods and cracked. Drop you phone, expect damage.

Anything can happen on a drop

The tough glass is ********

I’m sure Apple would create a glass that is shatterproof but that would eventually cost them money down the road with less to no screen repairs

I feel like this is said every single year, but I will say it again this year (haven't read the entire thread). Tougher the glass is, more brittle it becomes, making it more susceptible to shattering.

Not necessarily. Insurance is picking up the tab. Additionally, geniuses and other technicians will have to resolve the matter meaning man hours.

 

[Billburns]

Insurance? The point is most people are paying out of pocket to replace a screen..

THats money for Apple lol
