So what you are saying is, they are holding it wrong?
Sure, if you treat almost anything with kids gloves it will last forever. But that isn't how people use the product. The reality is, the cords from apple are the only ones I've seen break like that.

People love to dunk on that Jobs quote, but he was right. If you took the iPhone 4, wrapped your whole hand around it, and squeezed hard, you could make the bars drop. If you held like a regular cell phone, it worked fine.
As proof I offer the fact that the iPhone 4 sold very well for years, even after Apple ended their free bumper program. I had one (sans bumper) and the reception was fine.
Also, the same treatment to all the other major phones of the time produced the same results. Samsung phones even had a warning in the user manual about it.
