My screen protector is called “Apple care” and I’ve had 3 new phones in 3 years of ownership
This is so extremely wasteful. Not just your money and the energy wasted on shipping the replacement, but also all the material in the broken phones that will for the most part not be recyclable, and even the recycled parts take up energy being recycled. Just pop on a screen protector and case if you can’t help dropping your phone.
Screen protectors leave a ridge on the sides and the glass doesn’t feel the same as the screen.
Cases make the phone look ugly and bulky.
I don’t feel like I’m wasting money. The only people down is a mega corporation raking in billions in profits.
You might morally disagree with my opinion, but I’m paying for a product and service that I intend to use.
