The iPhone 14 is already in the hands of Apple fans, who eagerly awaited the moment they could get their hands on the tech giant's brand-new model.
Unfortunately… for the iPhone 14, it also fell into the hands of famous YouTuber Zach, who used his JerryRigEverything channel to “torture” the smartphone, along with everyone who watched the cringe-inducing video! So how did the iPhone 14 fare in the ultimate durability test?
The iPhone 14 in the hands of “sadistic” Zach
Most high-end smartphones have fragile and delicate hardware components, which in most cases are unable to… withstand harsh conditions. Although hardware manufacturers invest in durability, it goes without saying that no flagship smartphone can withstand every ordeal.

The iPhone 14 does not differ greatly from last year's model (iPhone 13), but Apple appears to have made an effort to improve the durability of the new smartphone's internal components. Although the iPhone 14 seems to suffer in the hands of YouTuber Zach, it nevertheless proves to be significantly more durable than its predecessor. At the same time, as the notorious Zach concluded, the iPhone 14 refuses to bend.
The test on the JerryRigEverything channel begins with a screen scratch test, which shows that minor scratches appear at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper grooves at level 7. The aluminium sides undergo multiple “attacks” with a blade. Next comes the screen burn test, which results in many pixels being permanently damaged.
