    The hardware is premium. That doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s impossible to work on or upgrade, for example. The parts are all high quality and the design is usually solid (except for a handful of things like systems known to overheat and “you’re holding it wrong” antennas), but for how much it costs I don’t want to have to buy a whole new one when I want to upgrade or have a hardware problem, no matter how much Apple would want me to.

      People say the hardware is top-notch but every single person I know who has an iPhone has a cracked iPhone.

      Meanwhile here I am with a supposedly very delicate folding phone and no case, and it’s absolutely fine. I’m not careful with it either I’ve dropped it loads of times. I have no idea why Apple insist on making their screens out of sugar glass.

        Who are these people who have cracked screens? I’m being serious when I say I don’t think I’ve seen any cracked phone screen of either make in literally at leave five or six years.
