I repaired a lot of iPhones (mostly screens) in the past. I would say that screen durability started getting significantly better around the iPhone 8. I was replacing screens for the various 5/6(s) phones constantly. These days, I’m hearing about fewer and fewer broken screens. I’m pretty confident in the 12’s screen at this point, after dropping it several times with no problem :p
But the reality is that if you impart a very strong force into the corner of even very strong glass, it’s going to shatter.
