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.
