There is no action for Apple to take here. Glass is glass and glass can break. Samsung phones are glass back and they can and do break. Google phones are glass back and they can and do break. If you purchase AppleCare+ Apple will replace the phone for $29 if the glass cracks, not $99 as I believe one of your posts suggested. If there is other damage, with AppleCare+, the replacement cost will be $99.
Since you seem to be really miffed you own a phone which has glass and the glass can break, here's an idea for you. Put a screen protector on the back glass, like most people also put on the front glass. It could really help if your phone falls because screen protectors often absorb the impact and the protector may crack, protecting the back of your phone. Here's a link to some you could order on Amazon --> https://www.amazon.com/s?k=screen+protector+back+glass+iphone+13&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

Apple does not make "demo" iPhone 12s with plastic backs.
It may have been a non-functional plastic mockup the retailer had made themselves.
Why does Apple use glass on the rear cover of the iPhone 12 Pro Max?

So the phone can be charged wirelessly. Wireless charging would not work metal to wireless charger.
Apparently they use glass on the rear of the iPhone 12 Pro Max for more efficient charging.
Does the glass crack from possible flexing of the phone? Like when when installing a case?

No
Count the me-toos as a fraction of 200 million iphone 12 sales.
And your last sentence is speculation, not constructive personal experience as required of ToU
My 12 Pro is in a case for 4 months now and I dropped it more than 2 feet and the back glass is isn’t cracked.
Mine too. to **** fragile
It needs to be glass for Qi charging to work.
Given the iPhone 12 has been out over a year, were it that big an issue, we would know by now.
