Cases weren’t as nice - and definitely not as easy to get - in 2010 when the iPhone 4 came out. I think back then, 99% of iPhone and Android users just walked around with a naked phone all the time. No screen protectors either. It’s crazy to think how normal that was for us lol.

I could never imagine doing that now, as much as I’d like to. Like you, I’ll take my case off for like an hour, and then I’m like “nope, can’t risk it”

i think it’s also because of how big they became. while people with larger hands can still one hand phones like the 14 and 14 pro and some can even do it with the large models, most people likely can’t anymore. Also the sticker shock of new phones is much higher because we don’t have 2 year contracts to advertise a low $199 “starting price” like back in the iPhone 4 days. Funny tho because new iPhones are significantly more durable
