Ask HN: When did iPhones become so weak?

Today has been extremely stressing and weird. But keep that aside, one of the most saddening events happened tonight, my iPhone 6S that I purchased not even 2 weeks back had it's screen shattered, and I mean, like, shattered.

The entire bottom half is gone(sigh) and I have no idea what to do. I purchased it in the US, and have come back to India now, so this makes the situation even worse. I have totally no idea what to do, the drop wasn't even 3-4 feet. My previous iPhone 5 survived a 10 foot drop with minor scratches, and a little bit of a crack. I do NOT have Applecare, I never thought I needed it. :(

It really saddens one's heart to have their phone screen broken. This isn't an anti Apple, or spam thread, I'm just wondering what the alternatives are here? Should I shift to Android or something else now that these have become so poorly built?
