    I like iPhones but titanium does seem like an odd choice. Sure it looks nice but who daily drives a $1000 phone without having it wrapped in a case anyway? Feels like a sales tactic.

      The titanium was added to make it more lightweight vs stainless steel. It’s more durable for its weight but the phones seem to be less durable overall.

      If you have an iPhone, just get AppleCare. Even if you smash the hell out of it you can get it replaced for $99.

      Run it without a case. Smash it up, replace it when it’s unusable to you.

      I mean, a lot of people. I have a pixel fold I use naked, and when I had iPhones I never used a case. I paid a lot for the phone, I’m not gonna cover it in a piece of tpu. They also just make phones even more unwieldy than they already are. If you have kids I get it I guess.
