Video: This is What 40,000 Pounds of Force Does to an iPhone 5S
Sure we’ve seen plenty of iPhone drop tests over the years and even a gold iPhone 5S shot at with a .50 cal rifle, but never have we ween what happens with you apply 40,000 pounds of force. So the makers of the OnePlus Android smartphone set out to do just so in part of their Smash the Past campaign. According to the contest’s rules, OnePlus will pick 100 applications to smash their phone in some creative way to get early access to the smartphone for just a buck. Moving forward, it is a pretty smart marketing move to gain some additional publicity all across the board. Based on the video above, it’s safe to say that the Gorilla Glass Retina Display and the aluminum frame plus housing can’t withstand 40,000 pounds of force as one would expect.
