Corning’s new ceramic glass might save your next phone from disaster

I mean it'll still shatter if the metal dents inwards towards the glass. The real issue is we don't use flexible materials at all anymore in modern phones (at least for the standard popular ones). Bring back plastic phones, and while you're at it allow the back to pop off to be able to replace batteries easier.

Being the voice of reason almost guarantees you won't be heard. The screen replacement market is wildly profitable. The phone replacement because battery dead, even more so.

Yeah, all my phones hold forever after the stressed glass got a crack. Almost as if they stress it on purpose.

The real solution is to buy mid-range smartphones for $300-$400 (it's a mature market, mid-range devices are good enough for almost everyone) and even if you do break your screen, you can get a replacement for like $120.
