When I see my friends 5S it breaks my heart.

Me, too. It breaks my heart to see damaged devices or if people threat their stuff really bad, e.g. throwing the devices on table or putting in on the screen and for picking it up some people press from above along the table, that's really sad

I also asked some friends and people why they do stuff like that and they're like:"it's just a device, it's nothing special like jewelry and not expensive"

For example people always ask me if my phone or tablet is newly bought... And I say no, it's about 3 years old and I didn't even use a case or screen protector and don't have any scratches or similar.

I just don't understand some people... Am I the only one who thinks like that, that you shouldn't harm your device just because it's valuable by itself and because it "works" for you without flaws and without asking for anything except charging it?

It doesn't break my heart, it pisses me off to see something like this. What is your friend 12?

It's not about the age of someone, it's about the attitude and how people think about something, else it would be ageism :/

My wife's iPhone looked similar before we got it replaced when she finally smashed it to pieces. Some people just don't care. it bothers me. And I really need a case on my phone, but that doesn't seem to be the need for everyone.

I agree with you. My 9 month 5s is in perfect condition. I've dropped it once, but I had a case so nothing happened to it. My macbook and other products remain in perfect condition. It could be because I worked hard for these items. Some may be spoilt or don't appreciate what they have. Each to there own.

I think that sums everything up, either they're really just spoilt or they just don't appreciate what they have or what value something has. Nowadays most people see devices as a matter of course and threat them recklessly

That is why is always advisable to protect your device with a cover. Using it naked might be a temptation, but also there is a risk as proven here.
