02 October 2023
Both phones' glass panels break, but the Galaxy is by far the better functioning in the long run.

          A 1mm titanium band bonded to an aluminium frame to be precise but it doesn't roll off the marketing department's tongue as well as "Titanium forged" A lot will be disappointed when they read through the hype and words to find out that Apple hasn't been totally honest about it 🤔

            Here I am thinking that it's probably time to go back to iPhone. Initial reviews were promising but all these durability and overheating issues makes me want to run away quick.

Second, these tests are meant to simulate ACCIDENTS; like when your phone slips out of your pocket (although some are extreme use cases). With your lack of reasoning ability I guess you think most people buy cars to crash on purpose. You’re definitely an iPhone user lol.

                                Who invests their life savings into something they know they're going to be clumsy with? It'd be like a stone-smith having a glass house for a workshop.

Also, plastic cases negate any benefit if there was.
                                  Ideally we should use metal as it ticks all the boxes, but wireless charging people don't want that.

                                    WOW, and the Galaxy already has poor durability - many people have complained and many reviews confirm it.

                                    Imagine how RIDICULOUSLY bad the iPhone must be?
