iPhone 4 Glass Breaking 82% More Than on 3GS

Wait, so the harder, more scratch resistant glass is more brittle... who knew?

Oh, wait, material scientists.

Originally, they had advertised it as stronger than the 3GS's plastic, what happened to that?

[citation][nom]BSMonitor[/nom]The article plainly states that the iPhone is well below any other device in this aspect. Just the i4 vs i3GS appears to break more frequently. So your statement is completely false. It is not in fact "easily" damaged.[/citation]

No, in fact, it explicitly does not say that: *Taking accidental damage out of the equation,*...

They didn't stated in the article that the phones from other manufacturers are more prone to failure due to accidents.

I'm not surprised AT ALL. That's what you get for putting glass on the front AND BACK of your device. It's just retarded.

thats what women get for stuffing crap in their handbag.

This is a horrible article that provides 0% useful info. They use very little real numbers. Ie. If gen-1 has 1 out of 10,000 glass break; and gen-2 has 4 out of 10,000 glass breaks.....they can say the new gen has 300% increase in glass breaks. The numbers now seem huge, but it's still a rarity. Without any real numbers....this article is of little use. I'm not saying it the iphone4 is good or bad.....just this info is of little argumentative strength.

iPhone 4's glass is easier to scratch too. I've never scratched my previous iPhone's screens yet without even trying, I already have a couple of mysterious scratches on my new iPhone's screen.
PS: I have some other good APPS from aneesoft want to recommend. Maybe someone will like it.
