The "Bend test (bending test)" feeling that is being carried out every time a new smartphone appeared was also implemented on iPhone 7 immediately after release. When iPhone 6 generation appeared in 2014, "The iPhone 6 Plus can be easily bent by handThat's great news, and in the 2015 iPhone 6s generationIt turned out that the body material was changed and the strength was greatly improvedAlthough it was doing, what kind of state is it in iPhone 7?

The iPhone 7 in the brand new state that the film was not peeled off was used for the test.


Jet black of iPhone 7 which is in a state of shortage worldwideInstead, "Tsuya" "Black" will be this sacrifice.


Before the bend test, first check the quality of each part. Paste the tape on the screen of the display, write the numbers ......


Check the strength of the surface by scratching with a needle with different hardness. This number isMohs hardness, 6 is the glass of a general smartphone, 8 shows the same strength as sapphire glass.


So I will scrape with grime. Level 5 is scarred without clearing 1.


However, there was a slight scratch at level 6, and when it was 7, a clear scratch remained.


Next, turn the home button with a cutter knife.


However, it was completely intact at about the cutter knife. In Galaxy S7 this partPlastic parts are usedThere is also a view that there is a report that scratches occur frequently, but in the case of iPhone 7 it turns out that it is not at least plastic.


Just as before, as you verify with a hard needle ......


I realized that level 6 got scratched. The home button seems to be using the same hardness glass as the display.


The paint check on the back is also carried out. Although a white line entered when a mat finish "black" paint was done with a key with a key ... ....


I just fade away with a finger and it got no longer beautiful.


However, it seems that we can not compete with the cutter knife, paint has peeled off together with the sound "garigari".


I absolutely do not want to do on my terminal, strength test of camera lens. However, there seems to be no problem at all about the cutter knife.


However, it seems that you can not endure using a needle per level 6 ....


Scratches remained like this.


Display / liquid crystal fire test. Let's change for 10 seconds with the lighter's fire.


After heating, the part that was exposed to fire changed to black and nothing was displayed.


It was in such a state that nothing was displayed at all like this ......


After a few seconds, when the temperature of the heated part falls, the display is revived as it gazes. I am surprised that the screen I thought was already broken was back.


And finally, test using a hand to bend the iPhone 7. A strong gap was created between the glass surface and the aluminum body, with the display facing away from you and pushing from the back with your thumb strongly.


A gap of about 1 mm appeared like this. It is an iPhone 7 singing waterproof performance, but there is no such thing like this either. However, it seems that it is equipped with a level of robustness that does not have practical problems in about strong bending by human power.


The result is the same even if it bends to the display side. It is a scene that seems to be heard even with the sound "Pakitsu", but in reality it was a result that one crack was not entered.

However, with the strong iPhone 7 generation, I could not overcome the powerful power of hydraulic press. The following YouTube channel that posts a movie that makes you petankanko with a hydraulic piston is holding the figure of the iPhone 7 which will be crushed without being given even the skill that is attached to the piston coming down from the top .
