today we are torture testing the iPhone 4s now I know it's not a new product but you all want to know how it can handle the heat so actually we're going to start with the cold two hours in the freezer go it's even white like snow good luck little buddy it has been 2 hours let's rescue our iPhone 4s from the freezer and see how it's doing we're learning to expect condensation and ice crystals at this point and we have them oh yeah that's ice it's not coming off the moment of truth oh no problem look at it except that I can't I almost couldn't select to unlock because it was so crusted over with ice whoops oh geez Oh what's it doing this is new oh the battery died okay I did not see that coming now this went in there more than about two thirds of the way charged so that's kind of interesting that the battery seemed to have suffered we will charge it up for a little while let it thaw see how it's doing I mean it came on I'm assuming it's okay but that's kind of new the battery thing so let's see if it'll come back on waiting see look at that interesting so the battery is back to half-full so that was just kind of a weird like Miss read because of the cold so we got a little hiccup but all in all it still seems to have made it all right and you go a little guy all right our iPhone has been in the terrarium of death for a little over an hour at a perfect 150 degrees because we have this thing down to a science hot in there just slightly too hot to touch all right this is cooled off nicely I mean while I'm totally sweating standing close to our terrarium because it is hot in here let's see how the phone is doing not a problem I'm starting to think that we are actually nowhere near the top operating temperatures for these devices this bone acts like it just had a day at the beach day two time for the drop we'll do three heights and then an extreme drop let's get started three two one okay oh we actually have damage you can see that purple line right there interesting okay well let's keep going three two one our screen has gone to the blue screen of death at this point and this phone does not like to be dropped now it turned off oh it's restarting I gotta say I've dropped my phone a million times and nothing like this has ever happened it's back on but you can see we still have that purple line this is pretty surprising actually all right well let's drop it from shoulder height so you what more damage we can do three two one we're back to blue screen of death maybe it's because the battery was almost dead I don't know I gotta say though it's not broken so we're still going to conduct our extreme test now we happen across CBS Interactive president Jim LANs oh who the gods was never going to say no to the opportunity to throw the iPhone for us down the stairs himself and oh no oh look at you Neil your spot oh all right it's restarting over and over the restarted itself yeah but I don't even see any chips okay well we gotta give him credit it's pretty dirty guaranteed if that was my actual I'm gonna be totally broken there we go we did some damage to it it chipped we have a little chip as I can ding him scholar oh look we got a nice little dent right there - how many stars off is that mmm I think this is well and then this happened see this purple line right here good it's a pass/fail grade what do you think so that's their fail whale I think this is a little bit of a baby fail huh yeah it's pretty good though in general we definitely we took a little couple chunks out of it but all right it's gonna it's holding strong can we run it over see now you're thinking that alright time for the dunk test here we go we have bubbles let them sit there for a second it's just marinating it's been about 30 seconds okay that's all I can take screen still on I'm gonna take it out here well let's just turn off the screen drying it out a little bit it's actually responding to the water pretty well it doesn't seem to have any problem even the screen stayed on all right now that our iPhone has survived the water test it's time for the wild card we asked and you answered several of you told me on Twitter that you have put your iPhone through the wash cycle by leaving it in the pocket of your pants so that's what we're going to do today we got some laundry here you got some jeans I'll turn the screen off but the phone will stay powered on let's put in let's say the back pocket see it's a white on white and you'll never see that detergents and everything this is brutal all bundled up with some kid clothes there we go oh dear God I heard it our wash cycle is finished let's imagine that we just realized our iPhone 4s was still in our pocket and fish it out oh oh there it is oh what an unfortunate discovery now I know you're not supposed to do this but I think what everyone would do in this situation is try to turn it on which obviously is not happening okay it's not coming on we are gonna put it in the dry bag just in case I cannot imagine a scenario in which this iPhone survives going through the washing machine but I guess you never know we will open this up in a day or two and find out who needs new gel packs pretty soon right good luck little iPhone ok now personally I'm gonna have a heart attack if this iPhone somehow survives going through the washing machine but you never know we've had it in our dry bag for three days let's open it up try to turn it on me why not anything anything no surprise there the iPhone 4s does not come on after being washed in the washing machine I don't know maybe we'll try to recover it somehow but I think we're gonna have to call that one I'm not very surprising fail
