I disagree. Show me a waterproof iPhone (IMO the only phone worth considering at the high end of the smartphone market). Lots of people would pay extra to ensure their phone is damage and water proof. For this reason the iPhone case industry is so huge. No, it's not everybody's need to have a durable phone, but I argue that it is the majority's need. The minority who wants fragile phones should switch places with the majority: that way everyone's needs will be satisfied in proportion to the popularity of the need.

> iPhone (IMO the only phone worth considering at the high end of the smartphone market)

Can't tell if blatant troll or not... the only phone worth considering? I went from a Moto X 2013 to an iPhone 6. I'm in the process of returning the 6. I heard everyone talk about the coherence of iOS and how rock solid an OS it is. This thing has crashed more on me, or just stopped passing data traffic via wifi or cellular more times in the last 2 months of ownership than my Moto X did in a year. The camera is outstanding and something I'll truly miss, but I can live without a camera in exchange for a phone that let's me put alerts on silence without being forced to silence my alarm as well...

You said "Phones should be tough", phone != iPhone and phone != "high end phone" whatever signification you may put here.
