Apple Needs A Rugged iPhone, Why Don't They Have One?

Ok, Apple you need to step up your game. Samsung and Droid plus many other phone companies made rugged smart phones, but not Apple. One of the best rugged smartphone series is the Samsung Active series. These phones are VERY hard to break while an iPhone it is one or two drops and it is done. I think a rugged iPhone needs to be made. They are in higher demand now.

Here is what we need in a rugged iPhone:

- Non bending, super strong metal.

- Gorilla Glass for the screen, so it does not crack easy at all.

- Water residence.

- Anti sun glare screen.

I do not think Apple should just let all these Android phones pass them with this feature. I know it can be done.

iOS 9.3

700 million people don't think Apple needs a rugged phone. If you do need a rugged phone the iPhone is not for you. I would hate the idea of the added weight and bulk of a more rugged phone. But if you need one you can always add a rugged case to your iPhone. That way both of our needs will be met.

@Sted and Fird Thank you! I will use suggestions.

@Lawrence Finch

It would be nice to have an iPhone rugged addition. Like the iPhone 6s plus and s plus why not a rugged? Also most people i spoken to about this say a rugged iPhone would indeed be nice.

From what I've been able to tell, the Samsung Active series hasn't been a big seller for Samsung. Ruggedize phones, generally, are not big sellers.

There is a large selection of ruggedized cases available for pretty much every iPhone model so there's no reason to wait for (in my opinion the highly unlikely event that) Apple will release such a thing.

@Meg Samsungs are actually growing in popularity and in some areas is more popular the iPhone or apple products alone. This includes the active series.

Yes, Samsung is a popular brand. However, their Active series is not a big seller for them.
