Apple iPhone 5 Hammer Drop & Knife Scratch Test

2012-09-22
what's up guys david here from bumble calm and in this video we're doing what it looks like i'm lee scratching the iPhone 5 with a knife I'll be dropping a hammer on it and also be scratching it with my keys just to see how it fares as you can see this is the iPhone that I use for my drop test I'm not going to destroy a whole nother iPhone the screen still works of course the back looks perfectly fine and the edges as well but we can go ahead and see how the back fares first and we'll finish off for the screen and you know see if this thing's gonna get completely destroyed so first we'll start with the keys so take one look at the back really quick as you guys can see it's pretty much scratch list so see how well this anodized material actually fared so scratching it really hard with my keys and you can see there's a whole bunch of markings but they wipe right off so pretty good I mean it's a really tough material mean this phone like I said is from the scratch or the drop test and the back looks perfectly fine so the anodized material is definitely holding up again I'll do it one more time I'll do circles end up I'm applying a lot of pressure obviously you see a whole bunch little circles I made again it's wiping right off so the back of the iPhone 5 you know the anodized material is real really strong really really durable let's go ahead and try with something a little bit sharper though right let's do a knife so I'm just gonna tap like that maybe poke it a few times alright so there's no way you know that's gonna be wiped off so you can see the scratches are there I'm gonna go ahead and try to see if it comes off and well I mean for the most part it is coming off so it's doing really really well in this scratch as you can see that when I was kind of stabbing with a knife those little holes are still there they're not gonna come off I don't think so so I mean still pretty good I mean you're never going to be doing that with your iPhone obviously this is for the occasional drop the occasional you know key scratch so want to show you how this phone is going to hold up pretty good the back is pretty good let's go ahead and do the front now so let's go ahead and turn off the display I'll do it on a part of the screen that isn't actually you know scratched up so I'll do it on the bottom left so I'll start the keys and really scratching it as hard as it can you know without it falling out of my hand all right you see the residue from all that scratching go ahead and see if I can wipe it off and uh looks pretty good I mean doesn't look bad at all we'll go ahead and try it with a knife now so again same area and we'll do a little bit of stabbing all right looks like I hit the home button but the screen itself looks pretty good swipe it off my shirt really quick all right so you can see it does look pretty good I mean I'm not bad I mean there's I'm looking at you know in person I'm not sure how well it's coming up on camera but it is pretty up you know clean so I mean it doesn't look like it's scratched up at all let's go ahead and you know try it one more time with a knife so again I'm gonna do that same area let's move this out of the way so what we'll do is it form the angle ready get the sharper part I'll peel off the screen to the side here okay so one thing I noticed on the side this part right here does you know easily get scuffed up you know then every time with the knife ice you know slash down it did make a little bit of a little scuff right here you guys can see all those little bumps that's pretty much from the knife but the screen itself really good I mean it didn't really do anything so that definitely looks good go ahead and try to finish this guy off so um before I do this you know let's look at the screen still working now I'm gonna get the hammer where you guys been waiting for and I'm gonna drop it from right over here this is about maybe six inches so I'm just going to completely drop it and you see you got a little bit more shattered but screens still working so let's try it again and again the glass broke is just a little bit more but hey it's doing pretty good this part of the screen isn't scratched or cracked yet let's see what happens and again and again and again and I u.s. all I mean I hit that thing really hard and it's really good I mean I'm really impressed by how Apple designs iPhone I mean like I said the scratch started with the drop test that I did the other day over here kind of spread when I did the hammer on this area obviously it's gonna be easier to spread so maybe if it's a brand new iPhone it wouldn't have done you know this bad right here let's go ahead and see if I can actually break this thing all right so I practice a little bit more but the display is still working all right you know what I'll just save that to it for another video I guess because it doesn't want to crack I mean the displayed won't stop working so that's pretty impressive anyway that's pretty much it for me in this video I know it's kind of hard to watch guys but anyway if you found this video helpful in any way I mean helpful in the sense that hey the iPhone kid takes some you know some damage please hit the like button it helps me out a lot and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already thank you
