Most women I knew with shattered screens had relatively large phones (max, plus, etc.), and the few of them who listened to my advice and got smaller phones, never broke the screens. Either girls over estimate their hands size (I guess compared to some YouTuber they see), or maybe bigger screens is just a status, or something else, but most girls have large phones for some reason.
In general I've simply never known someone with an iPhone who's never shattered the screen lol.
If they mostly doomscroll tiktok they tend to want bigger screens
