The iPhone 3G was poorly built, (especially the white model) and after a year the case started to crack and disintegrate. I don't think this was intentional design, but a 24-month old iPhone3G was a sorry looking creature.

The iPhone4, on the other hand is a beast of a device with a bulletproof stainless-steel chassis. iPhone4s that are more than four years old are still looking like they could go on forever.

My wife's 2010 phone has been dropped into a stream, dropped into a toilet. Dropped in mud and then stepped upon. And apart from a couple of barely-visible scratches, looks brand new.



The black iPhone 5 had a layer of anodisation which could get scratched off, revealing bright aluminum beneath. This causes wear/patination but no loss of function.

So can we say an average iPhone is more durable than an average android phone?

nothing like an average iPhone its one company so each iPhone produced is a flagship more or less...so if u were to compare place it against a particular brand not android in general
