There are a lot of people out there who want to be the first to own the latest iPhone right when it comes out, and some of them are pretty heartbroken today.
It turns out that the iPhone X, which costs a thousand bucks, is a little slippery, and some of the first folks to shell out the cash and get the device learned that lesson the hard way, then posted about it on Twitter.

I wanted the iPhone X until I saw my coworker drop his and it shattered. This man in here crying and I can honestly feel his pain.

Some sources say that the iPhone X is actually more durable than earlier versions:
