NSFW: Click here, watch iPhone 6 being TORTURED Apple claims its latest device is bigger and better than any other mobile phone, but the iOS 8 sporting iPhone 6 Plus has already been criticised for supposedly bending in fanbois' pockets. So if it can't survive the flaming heat of an Apple lover's crotch, what hope has it got against a hammer or a large calibre rifle? Not a …
... or are the seemingly endless stream of videos of people destroying their iPhones getting just a little boring now? "Let's expose an iPhone to temperatures of 2.5k C and see what happens!!!1", well, yeah it melted. Don't get me wrong, the blending thing was kinda fun the first few times but now...
it is just me isn't it?
Who voted this down?
Haven't you noticed how, as the Scottish referendum approached, IDS disappeared completely from visual, radar and sonar?
I suspect that Cameron would prefer it if IDS went off to become a melon farmer. I'm not for one microsecond advocating testing his resistance to .5 calibre bullets, but isn't it about time he went off to become a host on one of the clickover TV channels?
When you have seen one phone in a blender you have pretty much seen them all dropped in a blender. The first time (so many years ago) it was an amusing novelty, proved what people thought would happen did happen at no cost to themselves, "neat", but now it's rather tedious.
Like firework displays, you have to go bigger and better to keep people interested, but the destroyers seem to have run out of fresh ideas.
Show me something which doesn't blend.
".....are the seemingly endless stream of videos of people destroying their iPhones getting just a little boring now?...." Yes. I don't want an iBone6, plus or otherwise, but I don't see the point of this childish and destructive showing off. It's almost as bad as the fanbois and their showing off. A much better vid would be someone saying "I have the cash for six iPhones but I'm going to donate it to charity, so suck on that Tim Cook!"
I don't share the same level of enthusiasm over the new iPhone as the rest of the world... In fact, I could care less as to me, its just a phone. But what I don't understand is why the need to destroy several of them? Yes, it's his money, he can do what he wants with it and his own property, but that just seems to be such a waste.
Martijn Otto, if he did have AppleCare on one of the departed devices, and they made a video of going to the local Apple store to make a claim on the remains while acting as if it were his first ever mobile phone — that would be funny. “It was running slowly, so I pressed that big button a couple of times, and all of a sudden, BOOM!”
On the one hand they must enjoy watching iPhones destroyed in some entertaining ways.
On the other hand, by watching and providing the guys doing these videos enough clicks/views to pay for the phones they're destroying, they're helping to contribute a few more dollars to Apple's bottom line.
