Why does everyone I know with iphones have cracked screens?

?

Added (1). DROID > iphone.

I have had so many people try to convince me that iphones are better, but I love my droid too much, lol. I used to be an apple snob, but iphones are overrated.

They're too cheap to buy gorilla glass.

Most people i know with iPhones don't have cracked screens, but for those that do, it is usually just a chip in the corner. The actual screen is made out of a material that isn't very strong, which was improved in the new iPhone 5. Also iPhones have a fairly large screen, and are subject to more surface area coverage. Also when covers don't cover the front of the case they may crack easier

Because they're really fragile and if you don't have a case on it it's bound to break because one little drop and that's all it takes. I think it might be because the rim of the phone isn't thick.

Me too! Everyone I know that has one (well not everyone) has cracked screens.

I think the glass is cheap hence why it breaks easily.

I have the first Samsung Galaxy s1 and as many times as my phone fell, it's never cracked. I need an upgrade to the s4 lol.

Lol pretty much what everyone else said apart from tazor

I love iphones though lol

I remember the Nokia phones were indestructible. You could throw that thing into a volcano and you still have a phone lmao

Nowadays the phones are made like glass. One time is all it takes. I love my phone though and luckily I haven't dropped it yet.

Apple know that the majority of their customers are Extremely loyal.
And by loyal, I mean stupid.
Which means that if they sell a cheaply made phone for $1000 then people will come back and buy a new one as soon as it breaks.
If they made their phones more durable then they'd make less sales and have more expenses.

I guess I'm lucky because as many times as mine has fallen on the concrete and linoleum floors and yet the screen is perfect…

  • Why does everyone love iPhones? Why does everyone love and have iPhones? They are the worst phones ever! I think androids are way better. The iPhone is the same thing every year! Whenever my friends get an iPhone they are all like "yay! I got an iPhone!" But if they get an android they just say "i got a new phone" I'd never trade my galaxy got an iPhone. Why does everyone love them? They are terrible.
  • Why does everyone have the iPhone 4/4S? Honestly, these days, i can't almost no-body in public without the iPhone 4/4S, like i thought the Galaxy SIII was the more popular phone?
  • Why does everyone have Iphones? Everywhere I go, school, store, beach, even a family members house, I see people have Iphones! I feel like such an outsider with my Pantech. My friends say the Iphones are the " cool thing " right now and I'm just wondering why it seems like EVERYONE has one? What makes them so special?
  • Why does everyone have an iPhone? - 1 I remember back in the day when they first came out, they weren't that common sight. Now it's like everyone has one. Aren't they expensive or did the cost go down since then? Is it because back then they were expensive but because of the contracts established with their provider they couldn't upgrade till they renewed? Or lack of priorities?
