Have you seen or read about the 15 Pro/Max being more fragile? Some commenters suggest that the more rigid titanium chassis makes the glass more susceptible to cracking.

I've never bought AC+ or any sort of insurance for my phones, only a case, but I'm getting uncomfortable…

Are any of you case users actually worried? I'd estimate that I drop my phone a handful of times each year onto bedroom carpet or bathroom tile, usually from waist height.

    Just a few idiot YouTubers looking for easy clicks. I treat my devices properly and know that I’m carrying a 2 grand tiny computer in my pocket. I just don’t drop them or have accidents with them.

      I mean, the implication here is that none of your phones were as easy to break as this one. So this one is the most likely to be your first to break.

      Oh, my favorite take: It never happened before to me, so it’s not possible to happen! Ever! At all! ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

        It doesn’t really matter anyway. I have 2 years of AppleCare+ and by then I’ll have a newer phone. I’m always covered.

          “I am extremely wasteful and replace a perfectly good device every two years despite them having more than 5 year lifespans and no new features releasing most years, and this is somehow something I take as a good thing because it means I get a shiny new toy every so often.”

              Man, I make more than enough to replace my phone every year if I wanted, but I’m not as wasteful as you apparently. I used my iPhone 6s until the XS released, and I’ll use my XS for a couple years more at least. I’d honestly keep using it forever, batteries are cheap and I repaired electronics for a living so I can do it myself, but eventually they’ll stop letting me open apps on it like they did my 6s, essentially forcing me to replace a perfectly functional device.

          It doesn’t matter to you. But it’s a subject that still matters. And not every country in the world has AC+, so that you know!
