Why did my iPhone 5 screen crack?

Ok so I'm super careful with all my apple products but today I picked my phone up and the screen was cracked. I didn't even drop it. It is only one crack but I hate cracks. Is there any reason it would of cracked? Also, how much is it to fix the ONE crack?

Something had to happen they don't just crack out of nowhere and to fix it they have to replace the whole screen and that cost around $140

Same thing happened to mine.

My iPhone has like thousands of cracks. It's a 5c and it barely fell and I'm so upset. Is there any way I can fix it.

  • Why do iPhone screen crack so easily? I use to have the iPhone 4S now I have SG4. When I have the iPhone the screen is easily cracked especially when screen facing down. But when my SG4 dropped on the ground facing down it is not cracked, not a tiny bit. So what makes the iPhone screen so easily cracked?
  • Why did my new iphoneX crack so easily? I see a bunch of scratches. I have dropped it a few times but it was on carpeted and soft floors. I thought that if the I phone x is so expensive and the newest iPhone, shouldn't it be more durable?
