I've broken iPhones around 10 times.

Not a single time was the cost of repair even close to the cost of a new phone.

If I broke something 10 times in one decade, I'd probably be looking to replace it ASAP.

It's not one phone, it's multiple phones that I've broken at different times for different reasons.

Even worse then, it sounds like they're doing a bad job of iterating on the design if it's continued to break.

Impact, water, normal use.
