We have already seen some iPhone 6 drop tests, and now we have a video of the new iPhone 6 being submerged in liquid nitrogen, as well as one of the handset being dropped in water.
As you can imagine, the iPhone 6 doesn’t do that well against the liquid nitrogen, have a look at the video below, to see how long the device lasts after it meets liquid nitrogen.
Liquid Nitrogen Test
In the video, the iPhone 6 is subjected to extreme conditions by being submerged in liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is known for its extremely low temperature, which can reach as low as -196°C (-321°F). When the iPhone 6 is exposed to such frigid temperatures, the materials of the phone, including the metal and glass, become extremely brittle. This brittleness makes the device highly susceptible to shattering or cracking upon impact or even under the stress of the temperature change itself. As expected, the iPhone 6 does not survive this harsh treatment, shattering like glass when removed from the liquid nitrogen.
While this test is certainly dramatic and visually interesting, it is not indicative of everyday use. Most users will never expose their phones to such extreme conditions. However, it does provide insight into the limits of the materials used in the construction of the iPhone 6 and highlights the importance of understanding the durability of consumer electronics under various conditions.
Water Resistance
In addition to the liquid nitrogen test, the video also shows the iPhone 6 being dropped into water. Water resistance has become an increasingly important feature for smartphones, as users often encounter situations where their devices might get wet, such as accidental spills, rain, or even dropping the phone in a pool. While the iPhone 6 was not marketed as a water-resistant device, it is still interesting to see how it performs when submerged.
In the video, the iPhone 6 is dropped into water, and it is clear that the device is not designed to withstand such exposure. Water quickly seeps into the phone, causing it to malfunction. This test serves as a reminder that users should be cautious around water and consider using protective cases if they anticipate their phone being exposed to wet conditions.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus went on sale last Friday, and we are expecting to find out some details on how many handsets Apple has sold sometime this week. This is expected to be Apple’s most popular smartphone to date, and we suspect they will sell more devices than last year.
Apple has a history of setting sales records with each new iPhone release, and the iPhone 6 series is no exception. The larger screen sizes, improved performance, and new features such as Apple Pay have made these devices highly desirable among consumers. Early reports suggest that pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were exceptionally high, indicating strong demand.
In conclusion, while the liquid nitrogen and water tests are entertaining to watch, they do not reflect typical usage scenarios for most users. However, they do provide valuable information about the durability and limitations of the iPhone 6. As always, it is important for consumers to handle their devices with care and be aware of the conditions that can cause damage.
