So this summer it was like 30°C / 85°F at home and whenever I used TikTok or YouTube on my phone it would get really hot so I took off the case whenever I used it. My phone fell down one time (I’m not used to it being so slick!) and that’s why it’s now broken. In the back. Because for some stupid reason it’s made of glass or something.

Note to myself: my next phone should be one of these unbreakable military grade phones.

Lol, kinda dumb to use a heavily insulating material such as glass to slap on both sides of the phone.

Inductive charging doesn’t work very well (if at all) through metal.

And plastic is apparently a dirty word (one-time use plastic should be, mind you), even though most iPhone owners are also buying I plenty of Patagonia micro plastic fleeces.

It doesn’t feel like a premium material and it accumulates scratches and imperfections faster. Glass is either fine… or completely broken. Not a good heat conductor either.

I miss the times where plastic was used in phones. Glass cracks and feels clumsy and insulates. Metal transfers energy from impact to the components inside. Plastic just cracks but at least absorbs some of the energy. And is easily replaceable and feels way better.
