The crystal makes the phones more beautiful and can integrate wireless charging easily but are more fragile which is not a secret. The glass back of the iPhone 8 is tough but changing it is very expensive Yes, the tech giant Apple says it has manufactured one of the strongest glass backs in the history of mobile telephony but that does not mean it is more resistant to shock than aluminum and certainly, in the not too distant future, we will get tired of seeing many iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus with the back part made a mess....

Android tablets are a funny thing. The first ones had the exact same specs as the iPad, some were even faster, but crucially they also had the same $499 price tag. Translation: No one bought them, because why buy a knock off when you can buy the original?
