iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus take a beating in first ever drop test video

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus take a beating in first ever drop test video | 9to5Mac

Youtuber PhoneBuff has managed to get his hands on an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus at an Apple Store in Australia. In the video below, PhoneBuff puts these two devices through the ultimate torture test. Each device is dropped once on its back, on its side, and its face.

As you would imagine, eventually both devices met their maker. The iPhone 6 held strong throughout the side and back drop test and only was completely destroyed when being dropped on its face.

With the iPhone 6 Plus, the destruction came one drop earlier with a massive shatter to the screen when dropped on its side. This probably has to do with the weight distribution on the larger iPhone model, but either way if you drop an iPhone enough it’ll break.

Check out the drop test video below for a closer look at the carnage:

';
jQuery('body').append( content );
} else if ( ! navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/) && ! dd_banner_cookie ) {
var content = '';
jQuery('body').append( content );
var $hide = jQuery( document.getElementById( 'hide-dd-banner' ) );
$hide.on( 'click', function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var $ddBanner = jQuery( document.getElementById( 'daily-deal-banner' ) ),
date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 10); // add 10 days to today to expire the cookie.
var value = "true; expires=" + date.toUTCString() + "; path=/";
document.cookie = "hide-dd-banner=" + value;
$ddBanner.animate( {left:'-50px'} );
});
}
