Is iPhone 5 more fragile than the previous ones?

Is it true that iPhone 5 is more fragile and breakable thant iPhone 4/4s? Or is it, in fact, less fragile? Or exact? I'm getting and iPhone 5 and I need to know how careful do I have to be.

My friend has one and it's quite tough.

i have an ipad 4, which is made of the same materials, and it never breaks.

.so go buy an iphone 5 and enjoy it.

do you know iphone 5 won a best customer satisfaction award for smartphones?

Less fragile due to the back glass being mostly replaced with aluminum.

The new iphone 5 is made of anodized aluminum which is a pretty strong metal. The iPhone 4/4s are made of glass/plastic. Due to the iPhone 5 being annodized aluminum it is a lot more durable that the 4/4s. It also is less scratch able that the iPhone 4/4s. Just because it is aluminum doesn't mean it's scratch proof though. You will still probably need a case but if you accidentally drop it without a case it will probably have a better outcome that what would happen is you had the 4/4s. I hope this helped and I hope you like the iPhone 5!
