sue for false advertising. Apple is definately guilty of it. Its no where strong/durable than plastic. It does break fairly easy when you drop it
It’s a phone for crying out loud. You need to take care of it. Don’t drop it dumb ass.
Glass is the one of the main reasons why I prefer Apple’s wares over that of the others.
Combined with the advantage of a beautifully flat, glossy, scratch-resistant screen, the optical clarity is unbeatable. Plastic simply cannot match. These advantages alone are significant enough to persuade an owner to take extra care of such glassy products.
Plastic displays may accommodate a more diverse variety in terms of shape, but the crisp, neat and clean bevelled edges of the glass that Apple uses more than makes up for the inability to sculpt glass into funky, tacky shapes.
An additional disadvantage plastic poses is the formation of moulding artifacts - this is clearly visible when you hold any plastic screen product in polarised light. Glass doesn’t suffer as much, if even.
If Apple switches over to plastic because of this stupid lawsuit, it will be a loss for excellent functional and industrial design.
Sounds like another tort lawyer at work.
They can't be that stupid, can they?
I presume broken glass isn’t covered under the warranty, what does Apple charge to replace the glass?
It's three years old now can I still sue. ;8^)
ED
Every mobile phone I’ve ever owned ended its service life with a number of dents or chips. But they all died from natural causes, not from the trauma.
Crikey! No one explained the "gravity thingy" to me, get me a lawyer!
If any persons think this is right I hope you also enjoy the increasing cost of goods and services to cover such types of frivolous lawsuits.
It is a phone, if you drop it you should expect it to break, some will, some won’t.
This guy is just another kalifornia nut job.
A friend of mine showed me his new phone (I think it was a Samsung running Android) that had a screen made out of “gorilla glass”. He took his car keys and repeatedly slammed them into his screen, hard enough to break a normal plastic or glass phone. Not only didn’t it break, it didn’t even make the slightest scratch. He said he did that regularly as a bar trick. That would have been a good screen to use on the iPhone (assuming it could achieve the same resolution, etc., and I admit I have no idea if that’s possible).
Dropping the phone is normal use?
