This is actually so stupid.. I've owned almost all the iPhones' verisions, starting from 2011 till now, the total breaks in the iPhones I have owned were only 2 and I rarely drop them.. so how come you manage to say that, you need to have some experience with smartphones so you'd realize that watching videos and listening to others' bullshit over this product is just to prevent others from buying this product. And come on? How can you live without owning a smartphone I mean that's pretty hard for me, I use it all the time to Chat, Call, Play games and other things.
All I can say is that some people say that just because they don't have the opportunity to own one even thought those products are cheap nowadays.
I've owned an ipod touch for about 5 years, i've dropped it 2 times, and i've broken the screen 2 times. You can't get around the fact that the touch screen is made out of bloody glass, hell, the iphone is almost entirely made of glass on the outside. I've also seen 17 iphone breaks happen in front of me at school, then there's about 20 I missed. (within the span of ~2y)
On the other hand, i've only seen 3 andriods break in front of me, and 1 i'd missed. Of course this data doesn't really matter on a global scale, and it definitely depends on what people use the phone. But I rest my case, even if you're careful, dropping the thing will definitely cause it to break. You've broken two, that's still two phones broken. If something is that expensive, shouldn't they at least make it bloody durable?
600 bucks is definitely a bloody waste if you can get a tablet you can fire at with a paintball gun and the glass still won't break. I mean c'mon, who doesn't want to fire at their electronics with paintball guns. Yet apple makes a bloody 600 dollar phone and gorilla glass still is unheard of.
Tablet vs paintballI've had enough opportunity to get a smartphone, I just refused, even the ones I was offered for free. Pretty much everything you do on your smartphone, I do on my pc or laptop. I bloody hate looking at some small screen all day, i'd much rather get on my desktop. Mobile games aren't really something you should get a smartphone for either.
Buying an iphone is more of a status symbol of wealth nowadays, for anyone actually wanting to get a smartphone, i'd recommend staying the hell away from apple, you'll just be blowing money.
