**Testing the Durability of Apple's Latest iPhone Models**

In this article, we'll delve into the world of smartphone durability testing, specifically focusing on Apple's latest iPhone models. Our goal is to see how well these devices can withstand various types of drops and tests, including front-facing and back-facing impacts.

First up, we have the iPhone 7 Plus, which we've placed face down on a table with a glass screen protector. We'll test its durability by applying pressure to the device and observing any damage that occurs. To our surprise, the phone's screen remains intact, despite some dents in the chassis. The aluminum frame is showing signs of wear, but the glass holds up remarkably well.

However, things take a turn for the worse when we subject the iPhone 7 Plus to a face-down test at a higher height. We're impressed to see that the phone's screen remains functional, even though it's been subjected to an incredible amount of force. The chassis, however, has started to show signs of damage, with a noticeable gap forming on the bottom.

Next, we move on to the iPhone 7 Plus and subject it to a head-height test using three 2-second drops from a height of two feet. We're curious to see how the phone will perform in this test, and while it doesn't fare too well, its screen remains intact, albeit with some ghosting effects.

Now, let's move on to the iPhone X Plus and subject it to another head-height test using three 2-second drops from a height of two feet. We're eager to see how this newer model will perform in this test, and what's surprising is that the phone's screen remains functional, even after being subjected to an incredible amount of force.

However, things take a turn for the worse when we subject the iPhone X Plus to a face-down test at a higher height. We're shocked to see that the phone's screen shatters into pieces, revealing exposed electronics beneath. The chassis has also been severely damaged, with chunks flying out in all directions.

The final test involves subjecting the iPhone 8 Plus to front-facing and back-facing tests using three 2-second drops from a height of ten feet. We're curious to see how this older model will perform in these tests, and what's surprising is that the phone's screen remains functional for a short time, albeit with some ghosting effects.

However, as soon as we apply pressure to the device, its screen shatters into pieces, revealing exposed electronics beneath. The chassis has also been severely damaged, with significant warping and bending occurring.

In conclusion, our tests have shown that while Apple's latest iPhone models are incredibly durable, they're not invincible. While the glass on the A+ model holds up remarkably well in certain tests, it's clear that sacrificing durability for a sleeker design can have its drawbacks. The chassis of these phones is also showing signs of weakness, particularly when subjected to impact forces.

Overall, our tests demonstrate that while Apple's latest iPhone models are incredibly durable, they're not immune to damage. With a little bit of care and attention, however, it's possible to enjoy these devices for years to come.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys here we are again new Apple products new tests I've been waiting for this for a very long time and we got the new iPhone 8 plus in the iPhone 8 in the new gold color so today you guys already know it I'm super excited to test out the durability we're gonna go ahead and do a drop test of the iPhone 8 plus and compare it to the existing iPhone 7 plus so as we know these went through a drastic shift in materials no longer is there an aluminum back it's now a new glass material that Apple says is the world's strongest glass I want to put that to the test today is it really apparently the front and back is made of it it's made a custom blend in collaboration with Corning so it's supposedly even better than Gorilla Glass 5 and we'll have to test that in the future but let's go ahead and see is the iPhone 8 plus more durable than the existing iPhone 7 plus on the back the front the sides in multiple scenarios overall how durable is this thing let's get to it alright guys so here they are super excited to go ahead and open these up this is the gold color now it's a bit misleading this color is not how this one actually looks in person I mean look at the differences this is much darker shade looks almost like a chestnut brown gold but the phone itself feels awesome and I love how it feels not much more premium feeling than this one and yeah that difference in materials you have twice the amount to break screen wise so we'll see that camera is still protruding so that's gonna be an issue as the camera lens gonna crack but overall let's go ahead and test it out now I will be recording slow-mo with the eight so the slo-mo you see is the new 1080p 240 call --'tis should be a little bit better alright guys here it is in the hand they feel pretty similar this one maybe maybe I noticed that 14 grams difference it is a little bit heavier this a little bit lighter a little bit thicker but don't really notice that one it just feels a little bit more premium but it does feel dangerous like it's gonna break it's got glass although it is grip here it's not as likely to slip out of your hand but if it does at 3 feets about waist height here let's start with a 7 Plus on the back perfectly aimed in 3 2 1 don't really expect anything but it's red so it might scuff alright with glass let's try that and three two one oh that sounds like a crack to me please oh thank goodness please I'm just like I'm hoping that this thing lives up to the reputation that Apple put for it those are some pretty big standards for it but looks good glass seems to be holding up on both very well let's try side impact here so same deal oh wow well then um that did not fare very well the seven-plus is totaled here after literally one impact on the rear with the ground I am bewildered at this point how in the world I'll grab another one just so we can keep this test going for different angles but wow I did not expect this well very disappointed in the 7 plus I guess just randomly it could happen to you you get that perfect impact from the perfect angle but let's try again side here iPhone a plus or now 7 plus first three two one I can see it has survived and that aside for a second all rights and the 8 plus here in 3 2 1 I had a bit of spin action there so the iPhone 10 will have a stainless steel border but this one does have a dent on the aluminum one and this one as well scuff dent here and overall though looks good no crackage yet technically these seven-plus already lost but i just want to see in these different scenarios how it how it does alrights face down world's toughest glass versus the iPhone 7 plus glass in a three to one okay and actually let's take a look here oh that's good this one fared better than the first one face down I guess the shock wave just travelled through the back to the front on the other one but this one is good alright I'm nervous but let's do this three two one that's not good when it gets perfect snack Wow doing good doing good no scuffs no cracks the back is good well done alright so that's that's the fall that most people are going to be experiencing from your waist and you're pulling it out of your pocket you jump out of the car you have it on your lap that's the fall I hear about most from my fans they tell me they broke their phone so how about head height it's unusual that you'll drop it from this high but you know it could happen so starting with the seven-plus on the back in three two one ahaha damn that just makes makes me hurt inside so um looks good surprisingly I don't know how how in the world that first drop broke the other one there we go and I in three two one Oh yep that did it unfortunately the H+ is shattered and not just a little bit it is all over the place Wow so much like Gorilla Glass 5 this is completely smooth though you can continue to use your phone so I like the fact that it doesn't start splintering right away but man this could be a problem the durability aspect of aluminum versus this glass it really wasn't as tough as I thought so I had height fall did that one let's keep going see how long till the front screen breaks and in general how long until it completely dies unfortunately the iPhone 8 plus did not stand the test of a head height fall which is for me about five and a half feet something Corning Gorilla Glass says there Gorilla Glass five will survive 80% of the time this one did not so I'm gonna continue this test regardless just to see the front and overall the chassis with this glass on the other side so let's go ahead and do the same one for a head height here in three two one that's for the side one it's good even the chassis is not looking too bad there's some dents but definitely not terrible is he aluminum does love to gouge but phone still works and I'll set that aside do this guy oh boy there we go front facing destruction here let's see three two one Oh surprisingly not did a nice jig first though ouch oh look at that you're starting to see the internals here it's separating the chassis is coming in here because of the dents and the glass is raising over it very interesting it's like crash-test physics for phones and ouch that is not good but the screen is alive still surprisingly maybe the glass is made of something different who knows but this one is doing well alright this is the the one the facedown test one that matters iPhone 7 plus head height and three two one ouch Oh what in the world I have never seen this before it's completely unresponsive to touch the glass did not break Apple has gotten to a point where the glass is so strong that's the panel the LCD panel underneath that gives out first that's so funny but they the glass didn't break that's funny I've never seen this before very interesting all right so that one is certainly something for the books I've never seen that on an iPhone before this one has its flaws but I would much rather have a broken back which can probably be much easier replaced than that that's a new display regardless the screen didn't crack so we'll keep going here with the iPhone h plus head height in three two she'll step back a little are you two one huh five dollars that's broken mr. cameraman here we go three two wait that's not a good bet three two one oh my gosh Wow we both owe each other five dollars so that's crazy how did that not break look at the bottom of the phone you could literally see it bubbling out there's like a curve on the bottom now that is that's so funny there's a gap here I could stick my fingernail into I can feel the waterproof seal the chassis has been too deformed but has still survived I mean both of these have so we'll have to go higher to ten feet now Wow what's it what a brutal looking phone and yet still surviving look at that look at that ghosting effect that is crazy looks like the graphics controller got affected somehow that's so funny alright we're ready we got ten feet here and in three two one that is facedown I don't know why I did face town that was not supposed to be part of this test but okay I think that broke there's no way that it did not yeah that is toast so the iPhone 7 plus the screen is still somewhat there there's a a ghosted image of Instagram lines appearing this thing is beyond repair awful all rights and the iPhone 8 plus we go skipping straight to the front-facing test here anyways 3 you ready this is it man it's gonna break 3 2 1 yeah I saw chunks flying up but that's from the back Wow exposed exposed internals there it's it's a cool look I'm sure a sticker like this would look pretty cool alright here we go 3 2 1 ah yeah at that point I don't think any display will will work except this one doesn't turn on at all oh it is still working or was just a second ago had those lines in there so that is it's this thing is totaled and honestly I think the overall frame the chassis of it is not as durable because it is warping it's got this bubble on the bottom sticking out the phone is bent in general it's caved in words like a banana it's definitely the chassis I can tell is not as durable the screen at this point is not working at all I think the phone might still be working in the background no it's not it literally completely died on me this one at least is still working so in general what can I say it seems that the glass on the A+ is more durable but you're sacrificing that for the frame it is getting a little bit more weaker because you don't have this entire backing made of aluminum the glass held up very well on the cameras on both so props to Apple for that sapphire glass but definitely not as durable as I thought anyways guys there it is if you were worried about the durability don't be most day-to-day Falls this thing will be able to survive as well as the seven-plus unless you're dropping it on its back at 3 feet anyways thanks for watching guys stay tuned for more tests we'll have more up soon peacewhat's up guys here we are again new Apple products new tests I've been waiting for this for a very long time and we got the new iPhone 8 plus in the iPhone 8 in the new gold color
