This is because they were forced to build it with USB-C by evil Europe!
Please edit that to say "were", it's giving me an aneurysm.
Edit: downvoted for being right, typical Lemmy.

That's because you can shove your aneurysm back where it came from. You know how it's spelled correctly, just look over it.
Well I mean this is sample size 1. Not possible to say how much the test results were affected by the phones not landing exactly the same way. Maybe one was weakened by an unlucky early drop and then shattered faster? From this, I would not generally infer that one is "better" than the other. But it is still plausible
In the stress test video on the JerryRigEverything YT channel, you can tell that the back is much easier to shatter than normal. That does kind of make this seem suspicious.
You want the right to repair your own devices? Have fun repairing.
I don’t believe the phones are intentionally designed to be less durable and personally I applaud making the phones easier to repair. But part of me wonders if whatever changes they made to make the phone easier to repair also made it a less durable.
