iPhone 16 passes durability test with flying colors

08 November 2024
There's no bending whatsoever.

Sort by:

Boring... Its another apple device... Android is on top form 2025. SoC in android both D9400 and SD8Elite both provide almost equal single core score and multi core score... Flys way ahead. GPU... On another planet. GPU in D9400 surprisingly the most powerful in the world on any phone right now... And Apple lags very very very far behind...

    Okay now try slamming it against hard concrete

It tells you all you need to know, he's an out of touch millionaire that has no clue about the real world and steers his channel towards sponsored content rather than what the people want lol

              Looks like Zack got some money in his pocket from Apple to not try too hard with the bending. Millions of subscribers and still no standardized testing equipment, guess why...

Though he will look at the analytics of his channel and see where most of the views go. And spoiler alert, it likely ain’t on the never ending stream of obscure, low cost Androids 🤷‍♂️

Plus, most budget phones are made of plastic anyways, or some cheaper mix of materials. This makes them more durable by default. The purpose of testing flagship phones is that they are made with glass sandwiches that are often way more breakable than budget phones' plastic enclosures. Not only that but also, over half the population in the US buys iPhones exclusively. Regardless of their social and economic class.

                          Durability test doesn't matter if this is the most expensive 60 Hz screen phone in the world ever.

                                        Apple might be many negative things, but its pretty obvious they design their stuff.

                                        From the charging-port-on-the-bottom mouse to the Mac Mini and the iconic iMac, they all share the same dna and ideas but applied to different form factors and products.


                                        I feel we "might" be finally going to see a lot of their 90s-2000a industrial design language come back again now that Ive is out. The new Mac Mini is probably the opening of that new era.
