      plastics dont break, are cheap to replace, don’t get hot or cold with weather, don’t interfere with wireless charging, have much more grip, and can be made into any texture (matt or glassy).

      I don’t understand why anyone would prefer metal/glass phone besides for the reason “look at me, ma, my phone is pretty”.

      Nope. I’d rather have a plastic or rubber shell and rubber mounting for the screen. They’ve made fragile as a marketing gimmick so you’d have to replace your phone sooner.
