iPhone tested

This year the iPhone was 10 years old.

During this time, the smartphone from Apple has come a long way — both in terms of technical characteristics, and on appearance.

In the early years resource iFixit remembered that any evaluation of maintainability were all the iPhone models released in the past 10 years. The first generation iPhone the review iFixit got 2 points out of 10 on a scale of maintainability. To test the original iPhone, I decided the famous video blogger Zach Nielson, known for her YouTube channel jerryrigeverything once.

The first generation iPhone has a metal case with plastic insert at the bottom. The 3.5-inch display Gorilla glass first generation. First, Zack checked the smartphone resistant to scratches. It turned out that he was scratched from a tool with a hardness of 5. For comparison, the current flagship with Gorilla Glass of the third, chetvertogo and fifth generation scratch at 6. The only camera in the iPhone was covered by the usual plastic, which is easily damaged.

As to the strength of the iPhone, thanks to the sufficiently large thickness of the metal casing, it is impossible to bend. According to Zach Nelson, the only drawback of this unit in terms of design is the plastic protecting the camera. The rest is a durable and reliable device.
