Tempered glass screen protector. And a case. I have never cracked a screen. I have chipped the screen protector though.
swisstraeng
You know why I buy apple? BECAUSE I’M USED TO THEIR OS. that’s all. why some people buy android? MAYBE THEY ARE USED TO IT OR LIKE IT MORE.
AmethystBasil
My siblings go through iphones like their disposable. I have had the same one for years.
d3jake
My Android phones all end up running out of internal space within 6-9months. Almost like clockwork.
BoredZeroG
TRW you remember there was a game for iPhone where you tried to see how high you could throw your phone.
Nullspeak
the only reason i still have an iphone is because i'm a broke bitch that hates modern shit
murlokotam
Large flagships: Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Google Pixel. Samsungs have crippled battery nowadays.
ILoveCreamPies
Worked at both iPhone and Google (Project Fi). Like both. It IS possible! Both suck and both are great in different ways.
GriffinMann41
I literally chucked my old Iphone at a wall and it didn't crack. Granted, it stopped turning on a month later, but no cracks at least.
SickOfThisCessPool
Looks like my mother's phone.
thethicknessofthelad
Have both. Like both. It’s just Instagram nerds who make the rivalry a big deal
EastClintwud
I still try to take a screen shot to show someone my cracked screen.
JingleMyKeysHomeboy
That sums up Apple's consumer base pretty well.

Oh look. This again.

I've had the same iPhone 5 for like 4 years and I can guarantee you the next phine I get will not be apple
smally1986
I've always had android and never broken any part of my phone. Even after dropping one from 5m up onto bitumen without a case.
Munchman347
Always liked LG, mini SD, tons of apps, fast response and cheap as heck...

coldwargofast
My iPhone6 has fallen out of the firetruck twice, down the stairs, been an unwilling toy for my dog, etc. No cracks, still working 100%
coldwargofast
It has also never required a reset, never frozen, never been stranded without future update support. I was a droid fanboy before switching

And now I can’t see myself going back. Can set myself a reminder on my watch and it will pop up when I’m on my iPad. All perfectly synched

It's incredibly sheep-like to buy a bad product at a high price point just because it's a "status symbol" for teen girls.

If you think Android is harder to use than iOS, you're probably a lot fucking dumber than you think.
CheshiresShadow
I'll be honest everytime I've seen a cracked screen its on an iphone with no case. Dont get why ther's no case. First thing i got my android
Atemcyph
Because users want you to know they are using an icrap
slowtreme
Because I didn’t spend all this money on a thin phone to carry around a brick in my pocket. I can replace it if I bust it.
Ratchet600
People want to be seen using the sleek shiny iPhone. More people but them as fashionable probably.
ajpimpsalll
yup. They're a status symbol more than a functional tool to most people. The irony being that a busted iphone has the opposite effect.
expiredmayonnaise
I don't use a case on my Android. If you're not clumsy, a child, and you have pockets, then it's the way to go.

Some (sadly too few) Android phones let you use an external SD card.

I have a case but dont use it, only because im not clumsy. have never shattered a screen either.
JhericFury
I used to say that, dropped it a bunch of times, no damage. Then I accidentally put a chair leg onto it. It's cracked now
PurpleFraggle
I had my S4 for 4 years & it looked brand new. Got a G4 & gave my S4 to my wife. She took it out of the Otterbox & cracked the screen.

My case broke, I took it off, instantly dropped my phone on loose gravel. Totally smashed the screen. Now I use a case AND screen protector
Einstein9073
I always have a case (except for my G1 which didn't have them) and that hasn't stopped the screen from cracking several times.
actualseal
G1 was the ultimate introduction to Android. Sidekick team absorbed by Google and MAN did that phone go downhill by the 3rd version.
SpruceCaboose
They're just easier to crack due to the back also being glass. Very little ability to absorb shock.

I don't use a case. Not to be rude, but I'm not a moron who drops his phone. *knocks on wood*
BengalCat
Ya I tend to stay pretty aware of the $1000 I have in my hand/pocket as well. Understand shit happens but still..
iwillmessagerandompeoplegifs
One guy said exactly that, comes in next day with a busted phone. Fell out of his pocket as he was getting out of his car
BengalCat
That’s the only scenario I can think of that is understandable. Happened once to me around 2002.. won’t ever happen again tho
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
Well until that happens I guess! Going on 14 years without breaking a phone, let alone dropping a smart phone.
knickknackpaddywhackgiveadogabone
i broke a screen dropping it on the carpet. i'd booted the thing several times in attempts to save it. a fucking carpet!
McGreed
I did with my Samsung S4, however only after 4 years of heavy use and dropping it often, and because it was on the corner, on concrete. 1/2

And I got the screen replaced, because damn trooper, you did good and deserve it. Screw upgrades, you are the known veteran.

wrincewind
same here, my otterbox is smashed, but i've yet to break the screen.

I see more cracked androids and my iPhone has never been close to being full
YoungJables
I don't have a case but I've also never cracked my phone. I do have a pop socket, though.
ohDannyBoi
I think it's just because iPhones are known for having notoriously brittle screens. One time I watch an iPhone land on carpet and break.
jackpkmn
i've never had a case and i've never cracked a phone screen on a phone i've owned.

Ya once phones started to cost $500+ I’ve stayed very aware of what I’m holding. Don’t even use a case now that it’s second nature.

BishlamekGurpgork
Huh. What manufacturer?
DeathByTeacup
Samsung, it's the S7 Edge. It fell on it's corner, in a cheap case. I think it was just bad luck all around.
BishlamekGurpgork
That is bad luck - Sammy's are typically really resilient. I think the S7 has the glass edges though, so that can't help. That sucks.
DeathByTeacup
oh yeah, I'm not graceful, I've dropped it plenty with no issues. Then I dropped this one twice in a day and wrecked it.

I haven't, either. I think my partner has eventually cracked every single phone she's had since we started dating, though.

I switched to a Pixel2 after 9 years of iPhones and I'm pretty happy with it. Storage is a biggie, and I was using Google apps anyway.

Uh.. or you could use cloud storage like a normal person. Google drive gives you 15 GB free, download Google photos (1)

Given the overall amount of hate surrounding apple, I suspect most of these comments will point you towards androids- *written on an iphone*

I used to work tech support for the iPhone, and i wouldnt touch one with a ten foot pole. Android all the way

They all do the same things. There's a learning curve for both. I've had android for years, and getting an iPhone I had to learn wherethings

So far I could only find a semi-decent unlocked phone for $400+. Everything cheaper is usually junk quality.

Look up the ZTE, walmart has it for $80. I have one and its as good as my LG G3 was(until it broke, stupid microphone quit).

Very impressive specs for the money, but it is perpetually locked to carrier, both sim lock and due to few HSDPA/LTE bands, so not unlocked.

I've had both. Biggest thing I noticed was this S7 edge is noticeably less snappy on app startup than the 5 year old iPhone 5 it replaced.
CJRAYMOND
If it still bugs you a bit, you can go into the developer options you can change the animation speed so that it opens quicker. Andr. 7.0

But other than that, these days they're 99.99999% the same despite all the arguments.
strift
Didn't Apple admit to deliberately slowing down older phones right before a new release tho?
Beelsebooob
No - they admitted to deliberately slowing down phones that had batteries that weren't in a good state, and would otherwise shut down.
CJRAYMOND
Yes they did, but they said it was to keep the degrading amperage from the batteries from hurting the phone.

Depends, if you have a good portion of your life and functionality with AppleID/iCloud then stick with Apple, if not then go Android

Do it. Why get an iphone and pay a fuckload for more storage when you can get an android and get a cheap mini-sd

Because most Android phones don't come with microSD slots anymore, it's slow and prone to failure, and because 50GB=1$/month?

I have an iPhone and two iPads on a 50GB iCloud, it really only does pictures, backups, and saved games. Nowhere near full.

Before my iPhone, I had just about every Nexus phone ever released (skipped 6P), so this wasn't a fanboy choice.
