Both Apple and third parties will replace your screen for $100ish. Get a case next time. It has nothing to do with it being "poorly built" - glass is breakable. It happens.

The 6S isn't likely to be weaker than a 5 (if anything, they improve the strength with pretty much every iteration). How it lands matters a lot more. Hell, I just broke my toe slipping on one step while some people fall down an entire mountainside and get a few scratches.

I get that, but my 5 survived a crash, and this didn't even come close, there was a pretty normal landing I would say, but it just shattered. Totally unexpected for it to do so..
So? Sometimes you get lucky, other times you don't. A single set of anecdotes isn't any evidence of any sort of widespread difference between the two device classes.
