What are you doing with your phone that makes durability the main thing that makes it better?

My 14 pro was heavier. It’s great to know it was a tank, but I don’t treat my phones like shit so why should I care about that so much?

Also they didn’t get pricier this year, did they? I recall paying the same this year vs last year.

Not the main thing, but why should durability decrease when I get a newer and (supposadly better phone)?

My 14 pro was heavier.

Then decreasing durability was a good thing, given how it saved 19 ehole grams.

Me neither, but I guess unlike you, accidents happen to me.

Also they didn’t get pricier this year, did they? I recall paying the same this year vs last year.

Well, if you buy a 14 now it'll be cheaper than the 15.

Accidents happen to me too. That’s why I pay for apple care.

Maybe they should make next years model have a built in otter box and then people will complain that’s it’s too bulky and heavy.
