Sorry but I’m using a Sony which is known for being way overpriced
Me with my moto g pure that I dipped in 24k gold.
It took me far too long to realise that was a hoop earing and not a circle that the red arrow was pointing to that was meant to be showing me something… 😂😂
Flexing with phones is weird af. People spend 1000 bucks on a phone and do the same shit that a phone for the quarter of the price can do.
Using money to flex at all is dumb. While everyone’s out here flexing, I’ll actually be retiring at some point.
Hey now, some of us are too poor to flex or retire, stop flexing on us /s
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.
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.
iPhone 12 and later uses what they call “Ceramic Shield”, which is supposedly 4 times tougher than glass according to Apple. It’s manufactured by Corning, the same company that makes the Gorilla Glass used on many Android devices. Maybe the promise of tougher glass convinces some people to not use a screen protector or something? I personally always use a screen protector, no matter how tough a company promises their glass is, lol.
A large part of the problem may be that replacing the screen on an iPhone isn’t as easy as it is for many other devices. Apple will charge you $362 for them to replace the screen, and having the screen replaced “unofficially” by a third party is also expensive. Performing the screen repair requires the repair person to have access to expensive equipment to avoid Apple’s “security” features that give you popups if it detects that you’ve changed the display. Because it can be so expensive to replace the screen on an iPhone, many people just don’t do it.
