Which is more durable? Iphone 4s or 5?

With the new iphone 5 being much lighter, and not having the metal edging, would it be less durable than the 4s? Also, does one have a more fragile screen than the other?

No, the iPhone 5 is much more durable than the iPhone 4S (first iPhone that is durable). The only problem is the aluminum casing on the back is much more prone to scratches.

The iPhone 4S mainly suffered the most with the back because it was so fragile it would crack with the smallest drop. The front can usually survive a lot better and now the iPhone 5 which doesn't have as much glass on the back results in being a much more durable phone.

You can simply checkout the drop tests done with the iPhone 5 on YouTube. It's much more durable than even the Samsung Galaxy S III (which is the most fragile phone I've ever seen).

IPhone 5 is more durable than the 4S as it's lighter so it will have less impact if you drop it.

IPhone 5 because the back isn't entirely made of glass like the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5 is also lighter which reduces impact when falling, and the screen is more fragile on the iPhone 4S.

The iPhone 5 is more durable due to its new hard composite metal body. The iPhone 4 and 4S have glass backs which will break if dropped. The new iPhone 5 has a stronger more durable interface. I strongly encourage the iPhone 5 to be your next choice phone!
