I've never had to replace the screen on any smartphone I've owned, of any brand, including Apple (which I've been on since the iPhone 4S), and I started with smartphones with Palm and Windows CE.

I also drop my phones all the time.

The secret? Buy a good case. It's really that simple.

Yeah been on iphones for years. Several screens and batteries. It's not a big deal - every year or two you go in a shop and say replace whatever and pay like £40 or 50. It's not like any hardwear lasts forever.

At 5 years the battery is probably kaput, but you can get a new battery for $89 installed. I just put a new battery in my iPhone 11 and it has a new lease on life. Still a great phone.

Screen replacement is what $60 bucks, done in 15 minutes while you wait? Same goes for battery.

Not at all. Screens only break if you drop your phone in a very unfortunate way.
