Have you seen or read about the 15 Pro/Max being more fragile? Some commenters suggest that the more rigid titanium chassis makes the glass more susceptible to cracking.

I’ve never bought AC+ or any sort of insurance for my phones, only a case, but I’m getting uncomfortable…

Are any of you case users actually worried? I’d estimate that I drop my phone a handful of times each year onto bedroom carpet or bathroom tile, usually from waist height.

      It doesn’t really matter anyway. I have 2 years of AppleCare+ and by then I’ll have a newer phone. I’m always covered.

        “I am extremely wasteful and replace a perfectly good device every two years despite them having more than 5 year lifespans and no new features releasing most years, and this is somehow something I take as a good thing because it means I get a shiny new toy every so often.”

            Man, I make more than enough to replace my phone every year if I wanted, but I’m not as wasteful as you apparently. I used my iPhone 6s until the XS released, and I’ll use my XS for a couple years more at least. I’d honestly keep using it forever, batteries are cheap and I repaired electronics for a living so I can do it myself, but eventually they’ll stop letting me open apps on it like they did my 6s, essentially forcing me to replace a perfectly functional device.
