iPhone 6s: Early Unboxing, Drop Test and Teardown [Updated]

[Designx]

So, when does the first iPhone 6s bending video come out?

i bet it's being made as we type. Lou is gonna have a lot of competition this time around looking for that multi-million views payday.

drop testing is already done by companies, these idiots dropping them for video hits are the reason Apple makes 16GB versions.

Yes I'm sure that's the reason why Apple the most valuable company in the world valued at 700 billion dollars only makes 16GB just because a few hundred idiots drop them. Yep that's the reason. Like Apple cares, as long as they get your money they can care less what you do with it.

The iPhone 6s or its packaging "doesn't have a smell, which is kind of disappointing."

This is what it's come to.

What's hilarious about these drop test is that they aren't realistic. It'll survive a 10 foot drop on a drop test, but in a real situation just drop it down 3 feet and it'll shatter. Take drop test with a grain of salt.

Screen replacement doesn't cost that much? You HAVE to be kidding me !!

Apple care is $99
Verizon, att, sprint is going to be $199 IF you have insurance.
After market price on replacement glass hasn't come in yet but with the new 3D Touch your going to be looking at probably 249$ to 299$ in PARTS alone, then labor: 300-350$ is A LOT of money.

Don't kid yourself...kid

Drop tests are b*******. No way was that 10 feet.

 

[enrincon89]

so, everyone's dropping the phone, disassembling it, bitch about the battery, but nobody said anything about the ram?

It's 2GB

 

[Cayden]

It always amazes me that people are doing this. How much money could they possibly be getting from views? Is it really worth all the time of waiting up for pre-orders and then just destroying the phone right when you get it?

 

[Tech198]

Neat ...

Do we really sound like that? U'd be surprised just how many would even fly to Australia to show something off.

They probably buy more than one. Sounds kind of silly to wait all this time for a new product then destroy it just to show the world how 'unbreakable' it is...

Yea I don't get drop tests.

what's not to get? it amateur versions of these:

obv with far less fatal consequences of a dropped phone but the appeal can come from the same place.

Bend test:

 

[uwdude]

And you've got some mental issues to work out. It's just a phone their dropping, not someones child.

The 6s plus IS my baby! How dare you drop my baby! Police!

Bend test:

phone what?

 

[Keirasplace]

Will wait for the iPhone drop tester drop test- probably more fragile then the 7000 series aluminum.

Yes, if the guy jumps 15 feet face down holding a phone in his hand face down, I know who I'm betting will turn out all right.

 

[ZantacHenry]

Those hands

 

[unplugme71]

So got my iPhone in US today at 7:38pm. Nice!!!

Going to wait until midnight to open.

 

[Gregintosh]

Impressed with the 6 plus durability. I'm more concerned with scratches than drops though. I'll have a case anyway as the phone just feels better with it but I'm trying to decide if a screen protector is necessary this time around.

U'd be surprised just how many would even fly to Australia to show something off.

your boy in the bend video didn't even have to fly there.

(so at least he saved some money on the flight before showing off?)

34 comments as of right now. Wonder how many this will get

"Let's drop this iPhone face down on the ground with great force and see if it shatters!"

*shatters*

"Oh my God! No way! It shattered! This proves it, guys. Apple puts terrible glass on their phones!"

 

[Dephtones]

The guy in the drop test facial expressions remind me of Jim mora in his infamous "playoffs" press conference. Definitely /r/punchablefaces material

heh.. watch the video.. it doesn't shatter
; )

Yes, not on the test, but it does at some point.

But what I said happens every year and it's funny.

Bend test:

LOVE the porn background music when the two guys try to bend it together. Hee!
