I hear ya. For what it’s worth, I switch back and forth between iPhone and android. Both are great. Personal preference, I think. Anyway. My last iPhone had a super beefy case and took a 40’+ fall down a granite hiking trail. Before that phone, I had a Samsung with a beefy case that took a 10 minute dip in a glacial lake and later fell off a big lift onto flat concrete, maybe 30’? Totally fine. I guess it’s just like, I think you can get away with more than just “tough” phones. And I’ve self repaired many phones on my own with parts from iFixit.com.
