how about put the f
king thing in a case, because it's fragile? I wouldn't go throwing my laptop on a hard floor and lamenting it's fragility, and it cost a lot less than the iPhone.
apple spent hundreds of millions on the iphone design, id rather not then chuck it in a £10 chinese designed case. king thing in a case, because it's fragile? I wouldn't go throwing my laptop on a hard floor and lamenting it's fragility, and it cost a lot less than the iPhone. z4RRSchris99 said:

I've never broken a screen and to be frank I know very few people that have. To break 3... it must be you!
I broke my first one this morning. Dropped from 4 feet onto a tiled kitchen floor. I'm not surprised it broke.A replacement 3rd party screen is £50. An apple one is £100.

What about these tempered glass screen protectors, are they any good? Got one but didn't use it because it didn't fit the form of the screen.
I have a slightly rubber textured screen protector, applied wet and so can be moved around to line it up perfectly, no dust under the film as it comes out with the water when you apply, 2 mins later its attached but can be removed if needed.Richyboy said:
Anyone else having trouble with the bluetooth working in car. It plays music but in the background it says its calling someone.
I've had that with my 6+, I phone my Mrs pretty much every week night on way home from work and it only happened once. I hung up and redialled and it was fine on the 2nd call. oobster said:

I was really satisfied with my 6 over my 3 until today. I pressed the home button and the home screen seemed to magnified itself!!! The aps icon that I could see looked like at least three times the size of the screen! I connected to iTunes but couldn't restore the phone or switch it off as it wouldn't let me swipe to power off.

double tap the screen with three fingers and then let go. Should reset to normal. Then go into settings->general->accessibility and disable Zoom.Need to chat to a Genius........

Genuine question; are iPhone screens made of a poor quality glass as they seem to smash or crack relatively easily, I have a Lumia 920 with Gorilla Glass, I've dropped it countless times; on the corners, edges, back and on the screen and all I have to show on the screen are a few very minor and light scratches?
All iPhones since the 5 have Gorilla Glass. As you say, the same as any other higher end smartphone. However, thickness and shape affect the strength, so I'd imagine the iPhone 6 glass will be weaker due to thickness.Mr E said:
Anyone got a preferred place to replace an iPhone5 screen?
I've used http://mobileease.co.uk in the past, cannot fault them. From dropping off the phone at the post office it was returned fixed two days later.They do a walk in service too if you're in London

Glass screen protectors feels like the original display. However so far there hasn't been one that fits the 6's chamfered edges properly.The iPhone 6 is more fragile than the 5, which was the pinnacle of strength in my opinion, but then you have to have a trade off for the beautiful chamfered edge.
Also need to remember that people want a more scratch resistant phone, but the more scratch resistant something is, especially when this thin, the more likely it is to shatter. I'm sure there's exceptions but in layman's terms it's true. One reason why a pure sapphire display can't be used IMO, as it shatters too easily.
