Popular YouTuber Zack Nelson 0f Jelly Rig Everything fame came recently New iPhone 14that is, time for the durability test.
In a video posted Monday (below), Nelson quickly got to work, performing a familiar scratch test on the ceramic shield of the iPhone 14, the enhanced display Apple launched in the iPhone 12 series in 2020. .
After taking his tool to the iPhone 14 display, level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale showed “very faint” scratches, and level 7 showed more noticeable scratches. “I think Apple’s ceramic shield is better than regular tempered glass,” he concludes Nelson.
Then do a scraping motion that will almost certainly raise the hair on the back of your neck. This involves Mr. Nelson dragging the blade of his box cutter into the side of the phone’s aluminum frame. The frame has maintained its structural integrity, but a lot of the paint has come off, so no big surprises here. But the process gives Nelson an opportunity to highlight the fact that Apple now uses recycled aluminum in 59% of its products. .
Moving on to the rear-camera lens cover, Nelson was surprised to find that it scratches more easily than expected, and how and where owners put their iPhone 14s if they don’t plan on adding an extra protector. This suggests that it is necessary to consider
Then do a burn test. Frankly, this is really more of a ‘bad destruction’ than a ‘test’. After all, we know your pocket keys can damage your display over time, but how often do you hit your phone’s screen with a naked flame? Not. Still, Nelson lights a lighter and brings the flames closer to the front of the iPhone 14. It doesn’t work (of course it doesn’t). Damage after about 20 seconds.
Finally, Nelson puts the iPhone 14 through his unscientific bend test. This is a challenge seen in the past. some of his devices fail spectacularlyNot the iPhone 14, which remains intact despite the YouTuber’s best efforts to snap the two cleanly.
