        If you can’t afford 13 dollars a month for that piece of mind then maybe be more careful with your expensive handheld electronics.

        All phones risk cracking a screen if you drop it. It isn’t a guarantee that will happen. If you football spike your phone into the street and expect it not to break extensively you are an idiot.

          I guess I’m just wrong for expecting a newer and pricier phone to be actually better than the previous, cheaper one.

          I guess apple does things differently.

            What are you doing with your phone that makes durability the main thing that makes it better?

            My 14 pro was heavier. It’s great to know it was a tank, but I don’t treat my phones like shit so why should I care about that so much?

            Also they didn’t get pricier this year, did they? I recall paying the same this year vs last year.
