I don't know, how "tightly coupled" is the glass of that screen with the rest of the device?

I have an iPad pro. When the screen grew a crack, I called to inquire about the cost of a replacement screen and was quoted at roughly 2/3 the price of a new device.

god bless the woman at Apple support who "pulled a string for me" and issued an RMA.

the replacement has also grown a hairline fracture despite what I would consider "careful use" (which I am fully aware makes it look like a PEBCAK issue, but I'm standing by my claim that I knew how lucky I was and have in no way tempted fate)

I'd happily trade a bezel-less design for one where the screen could be swapped for a fiver. (Or one that doesn't crack at all I guess!)

I'm curious to know if any phone is made like this. The Surface is also almost impossible to replace on your own and about the same cost as you mention.
