iPhone 3GS Keeps Recording Video While Dropped In Pool [Watch It]

Posted June 26, 2009 at 8:48pm by
iPhone 3GS user KhenaKara accidentally dropped his iPhone 3GS into a pool while video recording and amazingly it kept recording.

Since he was recording you can watch the whole experience in the video below. Days after the event the phone still works fine.


It seems Apple may have taken some steps to make the device more watertight. A friend dropped my iPhone 2G in a puddle and it stopped functioning immediately.

I thought it was only my 3GS that was durable. I've seen these things take quite a beating and survive. They are definitely well-built devices.
