    I have no idea what you talk about:

    • there are plenty of reasons for a glass back (wireless charging being the most evident. it is also so much nicer to touch than aluminum)
    • that glass is ridiculously though. it amazing how much abuse it can take without breaking. you are just stuck in how it was 10 years ago when everyone carried broken screens

    also iphones this days can be fully submerged in water with zero issues. I would not trade off that safety

      I see approx 75-100 people per day and they have to show me their phone is switched off. Lots of them, especially the younger ones and manual workers, have cracked screens.

      Most people are hiding that glass behind TPU. It is pretty pointless other than being a durability weak point. You don’t need glass for wireless charging. You do know that there are alternatived to metal, do you any they don’t need to feel cheap either.
