which iPhone do you think has the best build quality?

[Zentost]

I have a 3gs, 4s, 5s, and my wife just got a 6 - but honestly feel like the 3gs and especiall the 4s feel the most solid (obviously the new ones are faster/new features)

But especially the 4s I love how it has some weight in it and a true metal feel and the new ones it feels like they skimmped on materials to save money and then called it a light weight design. And the 5s especially feels pretty plasticy... :s

But if you think about it, even if they skimp on materiala and save 1 dollar on each phone built that's millions of dollars saved :|

When we talk about the build, I can say that the 4s is really great and SOLID. But iPhones now are sleeker that's why we have to be more careful in handling new ones

My 4s. But the 5 appears to be quite solid.

I'm rockin' the SE now. It seems to be fairly robust.

Build quality, l'm using a 7 but don't need it, without a thick rubber case it's useless for me. I believe they are trying to get more into a smaller package.
One tap on the edge and who knows what might be kaput inside or out.
I prefer my 5s solid handy that, and no case, got chip out of the corner though, fell about 12 inches onto a sharp metal drill l was using.

All of mine except the 6S Plus are in like new condition so I have to say any of them except the 6S Plus that developed a screen crack from top to bottom and had a couple of flakes on the inside of the screen come off. The crack was unprompted and I only found out later that Apple would have replaced it for free while still under Apple Care as it was a known issue.

I have had my 7 since December 2017 and I am quite happy with it.
I have not had any problems with it, except, a battery that seems to drain faster than I would like.
