iPhone SE (2020) Durability Test – Reasonably... Reasonable?

so here we have a new iPhone se

2020

, it is a small guy in the current line of iPhones and not only in size, the price is also surprisingly justifiable at $399 for a

reasonable

price and Apple does not usually say the same phrase together, but here we are. I just said it inside the box. Check out the new red iPhone SE along with the proprietary Lightning headphone power cable and tiny 5-watt charger. It would be quicker to connect your phone to a hamster, but at this price I'll try not to. complain too much, it's time to see how durable Apple's new iPhone really is, let's get started, so you might be like Jerry, it looks like an iPhone 8 and you're right, it's an old body, new internal parts that keep the price of manufacturing and I'm That's why the vast majority of people will never use the high-end specs of the $1000.00 flagship and this little guy is exactly what a lot of people are looking for.

Let's start with the scratch

test

. My more mineral photographs can tell the difference between optical lenses. plastic that scratches at a level 3 glass that scratches a little 5 or 6 and sapphire that scratches at a level 8 or 9 many people don't know that the original iPhone that Steve Jobs first held up on stage for the first time The iPhone launch had a plastic screen right after the launch event, he changed his mind about plastic and said all phones should ship with glass and within a few months Apple had to figure it out and since then all phones have been shipped with glass, including this one that gets scratched. at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7, this means the screen is scratch resistant.

The camera up here is a small 7-megapixel one that sits right next to the earpiece grille, which is made of metal and slightly recessed under the glass. surface, it won't fall off on its own, the phone has a home button, well the home circle, it doesn't actually click or anything, this just works as a fingerprint scanner and my razor blade doesn't damage it. It still has its protective plastic layer between the glass in the middle which is good news for

durability

and easier screen replacements and the body of the phone is still made of aluminum the SIM card tray is also metal There is no expandable memory on the iPhone SE, but it does have a black rubber ring around the SIM card tray to help maintain IP67 water resistance.

Water damage is, of course, not covered by the warranty, but it's still nice to have extra protection. The top of the phone has nothing but more metal and On the left side, the phone has its two volume buttons and the mute slider all made of metal. The bottom of the phone has your normal Lightning port and speaker, but no headphone jack and, oddly, silver screws. Apple has used black screws on phones in the past and I personally think the black screws would look a little better than the silver ones, what do you think? Let me know in the comments.

I'm glad Apple went with the black screen this time. I made a video a few years ago on how to swap black and white screens on the red iPhone 7 product that has been viewed over 7 million times. I'm not saying that Apple followed my tutorial or anything, but there's also no way to prove that they didn't. Apple is using the red product in this case. year to help donate to the kovat 19 global response fund and any donation is a good donation. I've been scratching things for a while and Apple and I have always been at odds when it comes to the definition of sapphire.

The sapphire should start scratching at level 8 or 9, but Apple's sapphire camera lenses, for some reason, always start scratching at level 6. I've made some pretty detailed videos on this if you're curious. I think at some point they should stop calling it sapphire, it's crazy. not drinking bleach might cure corona levels of insanity but it's still pretty crazy either way the 12 megapixel camera lens starts to get damaged at level 6 if it's not pure sapphire we shouldn't call it sapphire even though that the phone itself only costs $399 per broken phone. The iPhone glass panel would cost two hundred and sixty-nine dollars to replace the screen, it is a little more

reasonable

, the replacement is 129 dollars, but thanks to our channel sponsor, D brand and the case repair cost Grip will never be something to worry about. especially with the gradually raised edge at the top and bottom to help keep the screen socially distant from things that could damage it.

I'll put a link in the description of the grip case. The iPhone se 20/20 has a 4.7-inch 750P. 8-bit display that is capable of displaying more than 16 million colors. There are now 10-bit displays on the market like the oneplus 8 Pro that displays a billion colors. If you're into that sort of thing, the iPhone lasted about 16 seconds under the screen. heat from my lighter before the pixels turned black and went out Apple is using an LCD screen for the iPhone se, but the pixels return after the heat is removed and also fully recover: the overall evaporated oleophobic coating .

I'm pretty impressed with this. small and I think Apple is pretty smart to release a super cheap iPhone, it's like an entry phone that introduces you to their ecosystem, one minute you're buying a cheap iPhone and the next thing you know you're paying $5,000 for a portlets . laptop that can send iMessage, everyone can appreciate a well-built phone and the iPhone container

test

shows that even with the price cut there is no skimping on the structural integrity, whether from the front or the back, the phone is intact and not permanently damaged. or bent, the iPhone is still very much alive and survives my

durability

test.

Good job Tim Apple, would you ever buy a $1000 iPhone now that this se exists? Let me know in the comments. I'll leave a link for the D brand case in the description it drops a torn skin on the back and it's the best of both worlds.
