You are not going to prove me wrong. I can break ANY phone on the planet by bending it... to engineer a bulletproof phone would garner complaints of too heavy, too big, blah blah blah.
So, until there is an unbreakable phone that is the new gold standard, this is all silliness.
I would venture to say that a phone that is dropped and pops apart, probably transfers stress throughout the construct better than a phone that doesn't. Look at how a formula 1 car flies apart. For all we know, this could be an intentional feature to preserve the phone from catastrophic (unrepairable) damage.
That is all speculative of course.
