Overview

• Apple tests over 10,000 iPhones before releasing a new model to ensure durability.
• Water resistance tests include simulations of rain, firehose blasts, and submersion under pressure.
• Drop tests are conducted using industrial robots that simulate various impact angles and materials.
• Vibration tests mimic real-world scenarios like motorcycle engines and subway rides to check long-term durability.
• Apple's focus is on creating highly durable products, though it is also working to improve repairability.
