Without any care, that's how. Why do you think the pixel 7 lens covers have been exploding

This is the first I've heard of this

Because it's a non-issue that affects an insanely small portion of people, but people love to shit on Pixel.

There's also no proof as to why it happens. People speculate it's the cold weather + warm pocket that causes the metal to shrink/expand causing the cracking, but there's zero proof. For all we know these people drop their phone 50 times per day, weakened the glass, and "oh no, it just exploded out of no where!!!

No one hates Pixels more than Pixel users

of course get fucked if it happens to you is a minor issue for any consumer

Google doesn't repair it in warranty and says that it's on you

Dunno what phone has launched and hasn't had some very minor yet very uncommon but more-common-than-normal defect
