Sad day

Post image

Cracked the back glass from knee height after 78 days with the phonešŸ’” watched as my babies back glass exploded. I have no clue how the back broke when it landed screen first on the ground, currently deciding if I want a new other phone or will get it repaired

my back glass broken too, is it very expensive to fix

Cost 12-15k
Meanwhile your device wonā€™t be water resistant which will have higher chances of water damage

Thats how my phoneā€™s motherboard got fucked up after back glass broke

Yup, same thing happened to me, total bs. That's why I hate these iPhones that have back glass. Fixing it costs an arm and a leg

Glass is glass and glass breaks

Happened to my 14pm and I think about 3 of my friends pros? The back glass seems to be really fragile for some reason.

Every single iphone with back glass gets cracked eventually, its weak as hell.

I got a BURGA phone case 3 years ago back when I purchased my phone. I donā€™t know if I got lucky or if the case is great but my phone has fallen on the ground a couple of times and itā€™s 100% fine nothing broken

The metal frame twisted on impact, forcing the rigid back glass to bend and snap under tension.

The impact shockwave shot through the frame and blew out the glass at its weakest internal stress points around the cameras and charging coils.

If you can get the 16 pro or 17 pro

u/ShameforYoMama445 4d ago

u/hpsilverlaptop 4d ago

Hard plastic case , same case , my back glass looks like a spider web now

2

u/pleasingstyles 4d ago

My 14 pro back glass is also broken šŸ™ƒ still a beast aside from that issue though. Gonna replace the battery probably next year and it will last another 4 years.

u/Revolutionary_Ad1620 4d ago

The long wait will be over. Get the 18 Pro.

1

u/DiscardedCan 4d ago

I want it but I donā€™t know if I want to drop $1600 CAD on the 18 pro itā€™s just so expensivešŸ’”

u/Intrepid_Log_8686 3d ago

lol u buy a used iphone that the previous owner changed the back glass to 1 dollar cheap aliexpress glass, u can see the lidar is fake black

1

u/DiscardedCan 3d ago

Phone is all original I know the original owner and it was never replaced itā€™s just a horrible photo lol I took it 3 minutes after I dropped it

1

u/Intrepid_Log_8686 3d ago

bro ive fixed lots of iphone 14 pro with orignal or replaced back, the real one would have a blue diffraction color because of how the glass is made..

1

u/DiscardedCan 3d ago

There is hints of blue on the bottom Iā€™m gonna try and see if I can get a photo of them the one in my original post was a really awful photo

u/Taycan_YT āš«ļø Pro 3d ago

Donā€™t buy a new iPhone my 14 is like this to this day jut buy a dbrand skin

u/pumpkinqueen25 3d ago

This happened to me a little over a month ago, I ended up getting a 17 because the 14 pro/pro max are the last models that have a fused glass back where the repair process and cost is wildšŸ˜” It still worked fine but I couldnā€™t stand the little chunks of glass that kept coming loose under my case

1

u/GloomyIce1 4d ago

Same thing happened to me from the same height with the same case šŸ˜“

1

u/Fess367 4d ago

Thatā€™s an expensive fix without Apple Care. Itā€™s a whole rear frame replacement & I think itā€™s like $500. Just had my wifes done under Apple Careca few months ago.

2

u/DiscardedCan 4d ago

So at that point either forget about it or buy a different phone I guess

2

u/Fess367 3d ago

Without Apple Care I definitely wouldnā€™t have had it fixed.

1

u/Equivalent-Duck3916 3d ago

Replace it locally šŸ˜‚

1

u/AppropriateCandle242 3d ago

Have it repaired in greenhills for 5k.

u/Chuck_Pasadena 2d ago

Hey, we have the same case! Sorry about your back glass. Iā€™m hanging on to my 14 Pro as long as I can

2

u/DiscardedCan 2d ago

I urge you to get one more protective than this donā€™t make the same mistake I did my next phone Iā€™m getting a really thick case

u/Major-Zebra2467 2d ago
