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.

Dang I thought it was only my 3gs that was durable. I took my 3gs to the shooting range and when I found out that my AT&T bill was going to be over 300 dollars I decided to ditch AT&T and used my 3gs for target practice. I shot at it with my AR and the 5.56 round bearly cracked the apple logo in the back. Yeah that's right I was aiming for the apple. If could only buy about 30 of these babies and use them in my vest when we invade north Korea in august.
