      If you can’t afford 13 dollars a month for that piece of mind then maybe be more careful with your expensive handheld electronics.

      All phones risk cracking a screen if you drop it. It isn’t a guarantee that will happen. If you football spike your phone into the street and expect it not to break extensively you are an idiot.

        I guess I’m just wrong for expecting a newer and pricier phone to be actually better than the previous, cheaper one.

        I guess apple does things differently.

          What are you doing with your phone that makes durability the main thing that makes it better?

          My 14 pro was heavier. It’s great to know it was a tank, but I don’t treat my phones like shit so why should I care about that so much?

          Also they didn’t get pricier this year, did they? I recall paying the same this year vs last year.

            Not the main thing, but why should durability decrease when I get a newer and (supposadly better phone)?

            My 14 pro was heavier.

            Then decreasing durability was a good thing, given how it saved 19 ehole grams.

            I don’t treat my phones like shit so why should I care about that so much?

            Me neither, but I guess unlike you, accidents happen to me.

            Also they didn’t get pricier this year, did they? I recall paying the same this year vs last year.

            Well, if you buy a 14 now it’ll be cheaper than the 15.

              Accidents happen to me too. That’s why I pay for apple care.

              Maybe they should make next years model have a built in otter box and then people will complain that’s it’s too bulky and heavy.
