This is because they were forced to build it with USB-C by evil Europe!
Please edit that to say “were”, it’s giving me an aneurysm.
Edit: downvoted for being right, typical Lemmy.

“🤓” on people who know more than you to checks notes… show off how ignorant you are. Congrats.
You are absolutely right!
Absolute horseshit. Nothing to be learned from n = 1 and an uncontrolled experiment.
Well I mean this is sample size 1. Not possible to say how much the test results were affected by the phones not landing exactly the same way. Maybe one was weakened by an unlucky early drop and then shattered faster? From this, I would not generally infer that one is “better” than the other. But it is still plausible
In the stress test video on the JerryRigEverything YT channel, you can tell that the back is much easier to shatter than normal. That does kind of make this seem suspicious.
You want the right to repair your own devices? Have fun repairing.
I don’t believe the phones are intentionally designed to be less durable and personally I applaud making the phones easier to repair. But part of me wonders if whatever changes they made to make the phone easier to repair also made it a less durable.
Whatever. That’s what Apple care is for.
“Yeah, just pay for another subscription service because the build quality of your new $1000+ flagship device is so shit it will shatter if you drop it and you’ll need to replace the whole thing”
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.

Not the main thing, but why should durability decrease when I get a newer and (supposadly better phone)?
My 14 pro was heavier.
Then decreasing durability was a good thing, given how it saved 19 ehole grams.

Me neither, but I guess unlike you, accidents happen to me.

Well, if you buy a 14 now it’ll be cheaper than the 15.
Accidents happen to me too. That’s why I pay for apple care.
Maybe they should make next years model have a built in otter box and then people will complain that’s it’s too bulky and heavy.
