I really have no reason to upgrade from my iPhone 6...unless the new phones have screens that don't explode with any little impact. I've gone through two 6's because of the fragile screen.

Have you considered not playing hockey with your phones?

I'm actually pretty careful with my phones, I think I might just have bad luck. The first time, my phone fell out of my pocket when getting out of the car at the gas station, landed on its back side without a case on, and the screen shattered. The second time I had a case on, I dropped it while sitting on a weight bench, landed on the corner of the phone on a padded floor, and once again the screen shattered.

Shattering is the result of a number of drops and impacts. You just got unlucky that the "slight" drops are the ones that actually broke the iPhone's screen.

Actually I disagree

The first one was my first drop.

The second was maybe the second or third...in a case...from a very short distance...on a padded floor. Maybe the replacement screen was installed incorrectly after the first time? I don't know.
