Why back glass cracks are the new front-screen problem

Remember when shattering your front screen was the worst thing that could happen to your phone? Simpler times.
Now Apple decided to make the back of your iPhone out of glass too — because apparently, we needed a 360° view of our mistakes.

You drop it once. Just once.
And suddenly your sleek iPhone looks like it moonlights as a spiderweb display at Halloween.

Welcome to the Back Glass Era — fragile, expensive, and destined to crack if you so much as look at it sideways.

Step 1: What causes back glass to shatter (hint: gravity)

In case you’re wondering what caused it — spoiler alert — it’s gravity.
Gravity, concrete, and that moment when your phone decides to leap off the counter like it’s auditioning for Cirque du Soleil.

Other top suspects include:

• The “just a short drop” myth. (Lies. All lies.)
• Sitting on your phone because pockets are apparently decorative.
• “Just setting it here for a second.” Famous last words.

The truth: no matter how tough Apple says it is, glass is glass. And glass breaks.

Step 2: DIY fixes vs. “please don’t do that” warnings

Yes, you could try fixing it yourself.
You could also cut your own hair or rewire your house. Doesn’t mean you should.

There are two types of DIYers:

1. The YouTube warrior who believes “how hard could it be?”
2. The regretful realist holding a handful of broken shards and a $50 heat gun.

That back glass is fused tighter than your grandma’s purse. You’ll need lasers, precision tools, and a healthy disregard for danger — or better yet, just someone who already has all three.
(That’s us, by the way. We even wear safety glasses.)

If you’re tempted to slap on some tape or nail polish, please stop. That’s not a fix — that’s denial with glitter.
