Shattered back of iPhone 14 pro

I have seen several threads regarding the iPhone 14 back being shattered. I’ve never had an issue with shattering my phone at all and I’ve had apple since the the 6 came out! Both my son and I have OtterBox Apple iPhone 14 Pro Symmetry Clear Plus Case with MagSafe - Clear and they both broke from a single fall from waist high. I’ve dropped my precious phones hella times and never had an issue. We just bought these too. What gives? Is there a defect? Or is it meant to be this fragile? We already have to voy a new phone every year or two because, like clockwork, the phone starts acting up.

Physics isn’t always nice. I tripped and tossed my iPhone 14 Pro across a gravel parking lot with zero damage because it landed just right, but later dropped dropped it inside and it landed corner first on the edge of a wood stair and cracked. 🤷‍♀️


As for upgrading because they act up in a couple of years. There is extensive troubleshooting options that would likely clear up the issue and not require a new phone so you could use the same one for 3, 4, 5+ years like many people choose to. If you wish.
