How to Kill an iPhone
What is the motivation behind destroying brand new consumer electronics such as the iPhone?
I don’t mean disassembling an iPhone for research and component information, I mean taking a sledgehammer to a brand new $500 iPhone.
I don’t get it, but here’s a compilation of iPhone destruction videos. Cringe away!
#1 Blendtec, no stranger to self promotion, uses its own product (a 1,500-Watt electric blender) to answer the question “Will It Blend?” The question was posed by master blendologist Tom Dickson for toy Transformers, a can of EZ Cheese (yes, the whole can) and now, the iPhone.
Think their sales are increasing from this $500 stunt? Of course it is. That’s cheap marketing. iPhone flavored Margaritas anyone?
Update: Yes, the blended iPhone is up on eBay (currently $570 with 39 bids), and there’s already a response video proving that the iPhone does not blend.
