These phone companies are keeping that backlog when it comes to screen is that they want you to purchase add-on like Tempered Glass and stuff.
But when you go with Gorilla Glass 4 and above with any Android device it will smoothly work,
But someone who can afford to buy iPhone then it's better but I am really not sure if that iPhone glass breaks or not.
So if someone is interested in getting Android make sure it has Gorilla Glass or similar or elsewhere they need Tempered glass.
