Apple Secret Testing Lab > Disneyland
-
You’ll never know what I said.
-
The test I trust is “Scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7”
-
I knew someone at the Nokia durability testing department 15+ years ago. Knowing the memes… yeah, they were amazing.
-
The Intel iMac Pro running Windows at 5:00 in the Apple HQ lmao

MKBHD just casually visiting everything at this point.

"The harder it is for you to repair, the better the durability" - The car, airplane, shipping and almost all other industries would like to have a word with you...
-
My pelican case is incredibly durable, but also eminently repairable. Remember that durable versions of phones, tablets, and laptops have existed for a long time--intended to endure and be field serviced, as a unit by not be able to get immediate resupply
-
Comic sans in an Apple lab is crazy.
-
-"The harder it is for you to repair, the better the durability" Hard coded serial screen number preventing the change +5 armor
-
Regarding your statement that durability and reliability are on a sliding scale… Programming the phone to not work with replacement parts does not make it more reliable just more profitable.

Over the summer we do a lot of snorkeling in a certain lake and you wont believe how many phones we find. Most of them do turn on as well. Sadly, a lot of people put the highest security settings on so you cant even get a contact or anything to get the phone back to them. But we have returned a number of them to people and once someone drove to my dads house to pick it up even because they used the find my phone feature.

"Repairability is at odds with durability" Nokia 3310: pathetic
-
I don't buy his argument about the balance of durability vs repairability. -Adding gaskets improves durability without conpromising repairability. -Locking parts to serialized pairing has no effect on durability, but destroys repairability.
-
Love how the iMacs in the Apple testing lab are running windows
-
I feel like I completely disagree with the repairability/ durability thing. Something like the Toyota Hilux is used throughout much of the world for absolutely everything. It is extremely durable and can survive a huge amount of abuse without repair however it is also super simple to repair and that's why it is so successful in many environments. Maybe this still doesn't apply to phones but is something to think about.
-
How does using proprietary screws and software locking replacement parts make the phone more durable?
-
The Head Engineer seems like he got A LOT of coaching in preparation for that question. Louis Rossman's head might have legit exploded if he were in the room.
-
It’s wild that these two people/companies are just making each other more marketed. So cool
-
Love the way how you talked about their secret lab its amazing to see companies doing stuff that weve seen in sci fi movies
