Inside Apple's Rigorous iPhone Durability Testing Labs
YouTuber MKBHD offers a rare glimpse into Apple's advanced testing procedures for water resistance, drop impact, and vibration endurance.
- Apple tests over 10,000 iPhones before releasing a new model to ensure durability.
- Water resistance tests include simulations of rain, firehose blasts, and submersion under pressure.
- Drop tests are conducted using industrial robots that simulate various impact angles and materials.
- Vibration tests mimic real-world scenarios like motorcycle engines and subway rides to check long-term durability.
- Apple's focus is on creating highly durable products, though it is also working to improve repairability.
