iPhone XS and XS Max are fragile. If you want to destroy an Apple fanboy's phone it is probably not a good idea to drop it down the loo. A single back down drop test from a six foot range onto a hard surface caused the iPhone XS to shatter entirely, resulting in broken, loose glass across the back of the device.
So the answer to your question is this: Apple thinks the iPhone X is worth less than the price for which they sell it. Customers who buy the iPhone X do so because they thing it's worth more than the price they pay to buy it.
While this doesn't seem like too drastic of an increase, it's likely due to Apple using a stainless steel casing on the “iPhone Xs Max” compared to the aluminum that is currently used on the iPhone 8 Plus. This doesn't mean that the iPhone will feature a headphone jack, however.
Activation issues are extremely common so if you're having trouble activating your new phone there's no need to panic. iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max users are also complaining about problems setting up Face ID, problems with iCloud, Wi-Fi problems, sound problems, cellular data issues, and Bluetooth issues.
The good news is that the iPhone XS and XS Max seem nearly indestructible. The bad news is that glass is still glass, which means your mileage will vary. The iPhone XS is made of “exceptional materials,” Apple explains on its iPhone XS page.
Apple says that its new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are made from a more durable glass that's the "toughest glass ever in a smartphone," and warranty company SquareTrade conducted one of its annual drop tests to put Apple's claims to the test.
If you have AppleCare+, a screen repairs usually cost $29. However, if you don't have AppleCare+, you're probably going to pay at least $129 — and possibly as much as $279. That's just if the screen is broken. If you have AppleCare+, Apple may be your best and least expensive option.
you may SEE more broken iPhone screens because there are so many more iPhones visible in middle to upper-middle class areas in the US. iPhone users statistically use their devices more than Android users as well, which means it is in their hands more often, and more likely to be dropped.
Samsung Display on Thursday (July 26) unveiled what the company calls the "unbreakable smartphone panel." The display is a flexible OLED screen that uses an "unbreakable" substrate to keep your screen safe during use.
iPhones screens don't break more easily than others … at least not the ones provided by Apple - if you go on cheap screen replacements, you get cheap materials, and those do break much much more easily. I have NEVER broken an iPhone screen, as I have never used screen protectors or cases or covers.
As for why to not use a stronger/thicker glass ( since thicker glass also helps), it can be argued as a form of planned obsolescence. The other possibility is that it is a result of an iPhones comparatively slim form factor demanding the use of thinner and weaker glass.
At Apple's September event, Kaiann Drance, Apple's senior director of product marketing, said the iPhone 11 glass is the "toughest ever in a smartphone, on the front and back." We know that glass is custom-made for the iPhone by Corning, the company behind Gorilla Glass.

Vijay Kumar, most viewed writer in Android tech!! Its really simple, smartphones today are very lighter and thinner. To acheive this the manufacturers remove excessive weights and thickness. See previously , smartphones and otherphones had a normal glass display and we're bulky and gets scratched easily.
We Dropped $18,000 Worth of Phones, and These Are the Toughest (and Weakest)
| Phone | Toughness Score (Out of 10) |
|---|
| Motorola Moto Z2 Force | 8.5 |
| LG X Venture | 6.6 |
| Apple iPhone X | 6.2 |
| LG V30 | 6.0 |
Today's drop test tells us two things: first, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are probably using Corning's new Gorilla Glass 6 (Apple never says for sure), which is supposedly two times stronger than Gorilla Glass 5. The Samsung Galaxy S10 may get the same extra-strong protection.
1.Toothpaste
- Dab a small amount of toothpaste onto the end of a cotton swab or clean, soft cloth.
- Gently rub the cotton swab or cloth in circular motions on the screen until you see the scratch go away.
- After this, wipe your screen with a slightly dampened cloth to remove any excess toothpaste.
