iPhone SE's durability gets tested in another video, see it swim, tumble, bend, and drop onto a sidewalk

04 April, 2016
Love watching torture-test videos of the newest smartphones? Then you'll definitely enjoy this one. Coming just a few days after the first such video for the iPhone SE is a new one, with a slightly different focus. While last week we've shown you how Apple's latest 4-inch device has managed to withstand scratching, burning, and bending, this time around it faces an almost entirely new set of challenges.

YowYow, 05 Apr 2016really? as far as i can remember there are a lot of games, ... moreWell your theory is only applicable for budget android phones and if you compare the android phones which are as much as expensive as apple iPhone 5 se (slave edition) than you will see ever flagship android phone is very much capable to handle Hd games.

    What I feel is ..... its utterly useless wrecking a new piece of technology which is so expensive... rather best hand over these phones as a gift or a lucky draw to someone than breaking , scratching, dumping it in water or trying to damage the handset purposely ....
    waste of manufacturing cost and someones man hours working behind assembling the handset although its all motorized but a human has to keep an eye on the machine

      Anonymous, 05 Apr 2016all iphone users are already left behind in technology. 20... morereally? as far as i can remember there are a lot of games, HD games that some Android devices are not able to support, why? because even if Apple has low resolution, it's CPU, GPU and RAM can support more than what most Android phones can

In the other hand, there arme many disatvantages like more processing power needed and that means a lower Performance and more power consumption

                    iPhone SE was supposed to be an update to iPhone 5S and it is just that. So, that the 4 inch iPhone buyers don't feel left behind in technology but the amount of hype it is getting it unprecedented.

                    It seemed to be a great idea put together until I realised that:
                    1, It will have dull and dated iPhone 5's selfie camera not the great selfie camera of 6S
                    2, It will be priced Rs 39,000($590) in India for 16GB which is way higher than iPhone 6.

                      AnonD-5197, 04 Apr 2016Hmmm smaller device but bends at smaller force.Exactly.. With smaller length and greater thickness the SE should withstand up to double the amount of force

                          Phones are not built for extreme scenarios like this, they are built to make calls and send messages lol...
