swarm of people will soon have a brand Modern iPhone 7 in their hands , and you know what that mean : a lot of citizenry will right away eff it up . But while there will always be manner to completely destroy a new iPhone , Apple has designed the novel equipment to withstand at least some forcible stress .
Over on YouTube , JerryRigEverything put a matte black iPhone 7 to the test , including burning and strike the silver screen , bending the trunk , and scratching the camera lens of the eye . We ’ve GIFed the dear bits for you for you for an easy ( and oddly soothing ! ) consider experience .
Burn recovery
The screen survive for about 10 seconds before the pixels turn black , but it does n’t take too farsighted to go back to normal .
No more Bendgate
The iPhone 6 was “ flexible , ” but the iPhone 7 does n’t seem to be quite as bendy , though as you may see , you might want to be careful of damage the waterproofing adhesive .
Coins and keys won’t scratch the screen
The screen began to scratch around a spirit level six on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness , which is fairly stock . Luckily , it means that everyday items , like keys or coins , probably wo n’t do too much legal injury .
The matte casing can withstand some backscratch
Scratching it with a key seems to be fine , but anything more hardcore — a razor blade , for representative — isn’t a enceinte estimate .
The earpiece stays in place
“ It wo n’t be sliding around or falling out like the iPhone 4 ’s did . ”
The lens cover isn’t as durable as Apple claims
On its site , Apple says that the television camera has a “ sapphire lechatelierite lens cover , ” which meansit should conceivably withstand up to a tier nineon the Mohs graduated table . In this test , however , it began scratching at a floor six , though it was resistant to a razor blade .
The home button
Like the television camera genus Lens , the Modern domicile push button is also tolerant to the scratching of a razor blade — but like the camera lens , it does n’t get past a storey six on the Mohs scale .
In summary : The iPhone 7 is fairly perdurable , unless you ’re seek to assail it with a razor blade .
