Why would the back of your phone be made of glass? Lol, wtf?
because steve jobs' ghost wills it
So that the manufacturer can charge you to repair it when it breaks
From what I understand about phone design, it allows for the smallest possible design that can still do NFC and wireless charging, while keeping that premium feel.
I don't give a damn about premium feel, I just want a no-nonsense phone that does what it's fucking supposed to while still being serviceable.
