+Joris The second when she tried to turn it on, it was impossible to it to stay working properly. she should have put it directly in the bag for at least a good 24h and then try to turn it on.
One time I left my iPhone 3GS in the fridge ._. I was trying to get something out, while shopping was in the counter. So I put it down on the shelf in the fridge... Didn't wanna drop the eggs. Fished it out an hour later. No damage done :3
And actually if they want a much more fair test, do that on a new iPhone 4S, not a dropped one, cause the dropped one probably had a deformed edge of screen and frame joint. Which let the water in to destroy everything.
***** yeah. I have an iPhone 4S still on iOS 6 as my daily driver. It still is pretty fast. I got my 4S on iOS 6, but I imagine iOS 5 would be lightning fast on it
I know absolutely no one will see this, but those issues with the screen going purple after the drop is actually not damage to the screen it is damage to the logic board, which I know because after it was dropped it no longer recognize the Sim card
Thats true,, you never know. But just like that guy said "If that was my iPhone it would be completely shattered", I agree because that was more of a "Throw down flights of hard tiled stairs test" and that 4S only got dented from it? thats a WOW! because if I did that to my 4S (when I owned one) it would be a paperweight! but I have the 5S now and I dont plan on dropping it anytime soon, lol
This hurt my heart. My iPhone 4s is legit my baby 😍😄😫 Just got it today and I'm so worried about dropping and cracking it. But I'm not because like I said its my baby 😄😄
Meagen Kasey they still make iphone 4s ? i remembered having one back in 2012, it was my best iphone ever. The 6 is kinda flimsy and hollow , a simple fall could dent the sides upon impact.
I have an iPhone 4s worried like you but someone swung on a lamp post and threw it out of my hands right into the road WHEN A CAR WAS COMING!!! I felt sick I wanted to cry but I said you have to pay for it if it's broken but everything's fine it didn't break or get ran over luckily I had a case on my iPhone my iPhone had a superman case if I had any other case I think it would of broken.
I have a black 4S and I swear its indestructible! I dropped it face down on tile nothing, sprayed it with a garden hose nothing, left it in a hot car in Tucson, nothing! What did crack the screen was I tripped and fell on something and landed on my phone. It was in my pocket.
Greg Cornes. Of yea. They break at the least expecting times. My frond yesterday shattered his iPhone 6 by dropping it on carpet with a glass screen protector. He was in class and it just fell out of his pocket.
my iphone was in a 15 ft deep pond for 5 and a half hours after an unfortunate fishing accident, ( i casted out and fell out of my jacket pocket ) but i took it home and put it in rice bag and 30 minutes later it came on, but wouldnt hold charge so i took the battery out and put it back in and now it works perfectly, using it today (:
This isn’t fair I was walking on the side walk and I tripped and my iPhone 4s completely shattered 3 years ago and it was about the height of the first drop here, but this thing can survive 2 stair falls!?
Why didn't you try to plug it in? And almost all of these tests are really unfair since you test stuff.. and then test something else... how do I know if my iPhone will survive in the oven when you freeze it down with the same iPhone? If one of these scenearios would happen it probably wouldn't happen after something else..
guys there is no iphone battery can hold 3 days so you can't consider it not surviving in the last test of the washing machine so you need to try charging it first and then try to turn on on see if it survives or not
Lol: Person: Where did I put my phone? *looks around frantically* Other person: ITS YOUR TURN FOR THE LAUNDRY!!!! Person: Ok *walks over to the laundry room* 6:55 Person: Crap.
I think you can account for the battery going flat in the freezer to the phone searching for a signal. Id be interested to see what would happen if it was put in there with airplane mode enabled.
I dropped my friend's 4s in class and I almost had a heart attack because her phone is black and she had one of those cheap rue 21 black case... and so it fell face forward, I saw some black pieces fall beside it, I thought I had really damaged her phone... so I picked it up not knowing what to say but thank god it didn't do anything to her iPhone but it did break her case... Like it's kinda funny to say but that was a life changing experience for me... I will now never touch anyone's phone unless it's in a protective case, my phone will forever be in a protective case { like my mom always tells me } and I most likely won't touch my friends phone again, haha...
The nokia 3310. It would've made a hole through that washing machine and would've gloriously worked afterwards! Never mess with the 3310, it can break many things and still work, it can break windshields, your girl's head, it could even wreck this though iphone 4s. I guess you could even use it to dig a hole in a prison cell's wall and escape. Some say it was built using parts of Chuck's DNA.
The purple line means that the screen connector has been damaged. It may work again after reseating (as suggests the sporadic "blue screen of death"), but it may as well be simply dead.
For those people who are complaining about the battery and the freezer: Batteries do not work in cold temputures. Like cars do not start in below freezing, as the battery is too cold
Refrigerating batteries is a sure fire way to have them go to sleep. When I work outside in the cold, I have special heaters for my photographic batteries to keep them nice and warm and therefore, working.
I actually fell asleep one day with my iPhone 4s in my coat pocket while I was bundled under a heating blanket on a chair in my living room. I had went to use my furnace for the first time that season, only to have it break so I had to bundle up for a day but anywho, I fell asleep for a few hours and had completely forgotten about my phone. When I woke up later wondering where I had layer my phone I was terrified when I discovered it in my pocket because iI had it in a dual layer protective case and the whole thing was hot. When I tried to turn it on, a red exclamation point appeared and said that the phone was too hot to use at this time. I thought for sure I'd ruined it. Well the house was colder in the kitchen so I set it on the counter and left it to gradually cool off. I had also taken it out of the dual rubber and plastic case I had it in. When I went back less than an hour later, the phone powered on as normal and I'm still using it. I noticed here was no heat warning message in the video there. I don't know if that phone is on iOS 7, if not maybe it's a new feature with the last 7 update.
Ever thought that maybe the battery was completely drained at the end? The phone had barely any battery at 5:15 and its WIFI and the display were still on when it was in the machine. Not surviving the wash machine is actually quite surprising judging by the fact that it fell down the stairs and was completely covered in water for some time.
This is such a mock test. She only checked out the screen every time. What about camera, what about front camera, what about video, what about volume, what about speakers, what about headphones jack??? puh-leeeeeeeeeeeaze!
For the wildcard, you should've done a test in both the washer and dryer. Sometimes, people forget their iPhones are in their pockets, and don't even care about them until they've realized they've been in the washer and dryer.
Ah, the memories. I used to binge watch these in 2014.
These videos were so addicting to me. I randomly remembered them and had to watch some again lol
same omg
I’m binging these because it showed up on my recommended and it reminded me that these existed

I don't believe that it would work after the washing machine, but she didn't try to charge it...
Yeah,I thought the same thing!
+Joris The second when she tried to turn it on, it was impossible to it to stay working properly. she should have put it directly in the bag for at least a good 24h and then try to turn it on.
Pixel last time it was on, if you noticed, the battery was like 10%, so it survived !!!

No battery warning came on, so it failed!

+XxXstoneygamerXxX the support is gonna end when iOS 10 comes out want proof go to allapplepro
me too
You could have tryed charging it at the end? :)
Thats what I've been questioning myself, why didn't they charge it. The battery could either be drained from such torture.
I'm gonna say that the ending survived and not a fail
And actually if they want a much more fair test, do that on a new iPhone 4S, not a dropped one, cause the dropped one probably had a deformed edge of screen and frame joint. Which let the water in to destroy everything.
also trying to reset it too. (home+ power buttons)
Farting on the screen can break it apparently :'(
the good ole'days of iOS 5 and the iPhone 4s...

Why buy an Iphone 4s and then treat it like a piece of shit
They could buy 17 of these with the Money they made on this vid

how about trying to charge it after the wash?

Because she wanted to do something different she made a blog post about why she left she's been with cnet for years already

That purple line happened to mine and all I had to do to fix it was hold the power and home button for 20 seconds. and then turn it back on.
Wtf how!!! I dropped my 4s off my bedside table onto carpet and the screen had 3 cracks in it😂
maybe it hits on the perfect spot
I know right mines shatered after small drop wtf 😳
SAME LIKE WTF LOL mine was fully cracked!
its bc of the glass, its not possible for it to be exactly the same and that is one of the more noticeable ways to see that, sadly lol
XxXstoneygamerXxX i dropped mine 1 foot onto concrete and the back was completely shattered
I think you can account for the battery going flat in the freezer to the phone searching for a signal. Id be interested to see what would happen if it was put in there with airplane mode enabled.

Like it's kinda funny to say but that was a life changing experience for me... I will now never touch anyone's phone unless it's in a protective case, my phone will forever be in a protective case { like my mom always tells me } and I most likely won't touch my friends phone again, haha...
i dont know why she act so surprised when it didnt survive the washing machine test like what kind of phone even would
The nokia 3310. It would've made a hole through that washing machine and would've gloriously worked afterwards!
Never mess with the 3310, it can break many things and still work, it can break windshields, your girl's head, it could even wreck this though iphone 4s. I guess you could even use it to dig a hole in a prison cell's wall and escape. Some say it was built using parts of Chuck's DNA.
Did anyone else laugh when the iphone was in the washer ... it's like "peeka booo"
was anyone else wondering why the washer was on the bottom 😂😂
We know you wanna se if it can take the heat, so we're going to start in the cold. Lol
The purple line means that the screen connector has been damaged. It may work again after reseating (as suggests the sporadic "blue screen of death"), but it may as well be simply dead.
it was much more likely to be a fractured logic board because after the first drop it stopped recognizing the Sim card
“It’s just marinating” wtf hahaha
RIP Little 4s :( Died from getting tortured
A battery discharges faster in the cold. It's physics, not a new, mysterious thing :D
I dropped my iPhone 4s with a lifeproof case on from waist high and now I have spiderweb cracks on the back of my phone
The purple line of death.
I think its a Nokia 3310 hiding under an iPhone 4s case.
Wow they where built to survive the apocalypse... well it was 2012 and the world was ment to end so 😂
