Both Lasers and Water are Damaging to the iPhone 5

Only when a sniper's laser-sight moves across your iPhone to your forehead.

Honestly, I don't think sniper scopes makes a red dot on your head anyways. I think it is just Hollywood speculation. I think most "real" snipers use optical sights instead of red dot, even if it shows up a dot, I think these days green is the cool color.

In that case, I don't think a bullet proof vest, let alone an iPhone would stop it. That is assuming that the sniper would shoot.

I'm not one to have sympathy for electronic devices, but... isn't this a colossal waste of money that can be put towards better endeavors?

I'd sooner donate $650 to charity than buy something expensive and trash it.

damn! i used to laser my 4s all the time! will have to stop now

Is a .50 rifle more appropriate?

File this under "No shiat, Sherlock".

/Still waiting for the "Will it Blend" link.

They're just upset that the iPhone beat the GS3 in the drop tests...

Is there a site that I can enter for these people to send me the iPhone before the destroy it like a retard? I bet you it holds up against a chainsaw with no problems I guess apple has to put idiot warnings on their products now staiting excessing key scratching, shooting, chainsawing, use underwater, hammering and etc will damage the product. A side note I really wish there was a section on MacRumors for CRAP and they would stop putting these videos as links or articles on the main page. Just put a crap button next to Buyer's Guide and post this stuff there. I want to know if the people doing these "TESTS" honestly expected anything else.

Awesome! Totally awesome!

It's the rich kid version of burning ants with a magnifying glass. Recession, what recession?

Pathetically wasteful people in society with zero gained apart from web traffic gains for their personal financial benefits.

Seriously? You have to be the life of any party! That's pure gold!

It kills me that some on this site feel the need to technically correct meaningless details in a funny or sarcastic remark. For the love of Sam Kinison, it's humor!

Besides, I was talking about the fricken sharks with laser beams.

I'm just curious as to who wasted an upgrade with their mobile carrier to buy an iphone to destroy.

Either that, or they bought it unlocked. Which would cost them, at minimum, $649.

Losing my helmet against Cerebro is a priority. I can handle bullets.

I am interested in buying an iPhone5 but I am worried how it would survive being inserted into a horses rectum.

Has this been tested yet?

lasers.....is this a problem with iPhone users?

Samsung has gone too far!

Hmmm. Such a random test. Ha i think he was bored and wanted to actually destroy the iphone 5

This is crap. Lasers would never have destroyed iPhone 5's if Steve was still alive.

Apple is doomed.

Safari isn't as snappy.

I'm leaving Apple etc.

I also want to know. Do you know if the S3 has survived the horses rectum because if the iPhone doesn't survive it I will go with S3. Can't risk my phone breaking when I reach into a horses ass each day

Susceptible to lasers and water? I guess I'll find a different phone to use while fighting sharks.

Some people have too much money.

Anyway, I can submerge my iPhone 4S, and it's no problem. I don't think my case protects against an insane number of lasers all aimed at the same point, but then again, how would that even happen?

You think that's tough? Try just carrying the phone in your pocket. Amazing if it does not scuff and ding.

File this video under the tag, "More money than brains."

Just wondering... I have seen dozens of things people have done with/to their new phones over the past week.

Has anyone used theirs to make an actual phone call?

Nah, that day will be when someone fires high powered lasers to an ... wait a minute
