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.
They're just upset that the iPhone beat the GS3 in the drop tests...
Hmmm. Such a random test. Ha i think he was bored and wanted to actually destroy the iphone 5
DEVELOPING STORY: Water is wet and the sky is blue.
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.
Pathetically wasteful people in society with zero gained apart from web traffic gains for their personal financial benefits.

Which is pretty cheap advertising

You're welcome to leave. Many of us enjoy seeing videos like this, and you don't have to watch them if you don't.

That is a bebe gun, it ain't a 9mn handgun or even a desert eagle.
I was really hoping the the new 5 would be LASER resistant. That was something that was missing from the 4S and all new phones should have as standard really.Disappointing laser test results. Might require another letter from Cook.
It did survive the hot coffee test; rain or damp won't be an issue provided you are sensible about it and don't pour water through the open ports. Most phones, like any electronics, don't like water. You don't turn a phone on after it's been submerged like they did; it may take a while to dry off in rice, and the battery might be drained. Mostly people drop their phones into the toilet or some similar thing, and presumably don't leave it for more than a few seconds. Even with a hydrophobic coating I wouldn't care to submerge my phone deliberately, as it's tempting fate. Still seems a good idea to have a coating provided it doesn't affect the phone's operations."Android manufacturers are going to have to create better quality devices if they want to compete with the iPhone 5." - from the end of the first video.
Uh no. Other way around. I don't think the iPhone 5 is the most durable smartphone. I have to admit, I was disappointed to see that the iPhone died after getting wet. I just switched over from the Droid Razr Maxx, which had some sort of hydrophobic waterproof coating (video link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLz-AB7tTb8). I liked not having to worry about using my phone in the rain, or not having to put it in a plastic bag at the beach, down by the pool, or on a water ride at Six Flags.
