iPad torture test

[@stanleywey]

Why did Cnet stop doing these video? I miss them.

[@mrpeebs]

Bootleg Soda but why tho

[@johntm7273]

I miss them too:(

Stanley Wey same

[@dwevin]

On October 7, 2013, Wood announced she would leave CNET at the end of that month in order to pursue independent projects. ... Together with Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal, Wood began hosting the Marketplace podcast Make Me Smart with Kai and Molly on November 28, 2016. (Wikipedia)

I accidentally left my ipad in the freezer in a plastic bag.

[@bodecline1004]

Ezzy 3 SAME!

[@YouDontWannaFightMe]

I once used my iPad 3 in 25 degree weather and it still was operating smoothly. I also once left in a hot car for a few hours and it's still amazes me. My iPad sustains heavy use (i baby it) almost two years with no noticeable decrease in battery life

[@ezzbuttheyshouldntleavethe5529]

It's been 9 years, how is it holding up?

[@YouDontWannaFightMe]

⁠Got a replacement unit in 2016 after I dropped it face down by accident. Last time I checked, it still works! Bought a pro 9.7 inch about 8 months later and just bought a used IPad Mini to replace it. Still keep my 3rd gen iPad because it has lots of iOS games on it that aren’t compatible with newer versions of iOS.

[@MinistryOfSleepers]

I like how she "turns off" that iPad by just putting it in standby.

[@McDonaldsManager163]

I'm watching this on a cracked iPad. RIP 2014-2016

[@tylermcnee9441]

Oh No :(

[@cryo_life]

Lasted for 3 yrs?

[@Tamay.]

Same. I bit my iPad.

[@faraon3000]

I miss this show

[@muertomaniaco]

The video quality of this video is outstanding.

[@rosalieyutani1109]

I own an iPad, iPad mini and an iPhone... One time I got so mad that I threw my iPhone and not even a single crack was seen. My iPad has been with me for like 5 or 4 years and it fell dozens of times but nothing happened to it. But then, just a month ago, I accidentally sat on my iPad mini.. Luckily it only had a few minor cracks on the side. I hope my devices will last longer...

[@Remeldah]

I used to watch these when I was younger

[@colsonweiser5648]

SAAAAME

[@Meinardas_yuh]

Sameeeeee

[@nougatbitz]

We have iMacs in the office in London. Even a slight brush of sunlight was able to create dark spots on the LCD panel. Generally after 2 years their hard drives would run continuously above 42degree Celsius in idle. 10min of rendering can push it all the way to 68... Not build to last

[@SakulRegnevelc]

every time you said you turned it off, you just pushed the hold button. you have to hold it and swipe the "power off" interface to actually turn it off. When the iPad turned itself back on while drying it off, that was because you bumped the hold button

[@gunnarbates77]

I know this dumb bitch doesn't know how to turn things off. She just puts the ipad on sleep mode lmfao.

[@ulisesdominguez9695]

Is this the new iPad Pro?

[@domantasrackovas]

Jesus, it's just a test to show the strength of the tablet.

[@hexxoid9263]

The first video where iPad is not spelled Ipad...

[@CrewWhatever]

I use my iPad 2 since 2011. Extreme usage,1000+ battery cycles,few drops and it still survive until now 😙

[@MentonKronno]

Omg! I almost had a heart attack watching this Molly.....for each gruesome test i kept on thinking that little ipad wouldn't make it!...but it did make it...thanks Molly...Some people are now suggesting that Cnet is being paid by Apple to promote the new gen ipad which to me is absolute nonsense ....the drops,burns,freezes,bangs..were all real! The tests were done fairly! That is why am now heading down to the apple store to buy myself one...little ipad is nolonger little...he is a Warrior Ipad!

[@enochskindasus6yago619]

Fancy first gen ipad lol

[@JeeyounProductions]

this is the us and they use fahrenheit which in this case means that you left your ipad in a temperature of -22 degrees fahrenheit and in this video the ice box temperture of 31 fahrenheit converts to about 0.6 degrees celsius

[@spicoliravioli]

I love the unlock sound. CHA

[@viniciusfernandes2005]

They're either sponsored or fearing a lawsuit if they say it sucks.

[@Chocolatebutterjelly]

And then I drop a small rock on the upper right corner of the screen, large crack right across from top-left to middle right, and from lower right to middle bottom. Funny how such small things can break a device when done in a specific way. Still usable though.

[@NeXMaX]

This is their first torture test guys. They'll probably test The New iPhone soon.

[@RandomisterNate]

You can consider this tablet tough when you send it through the same tests you gave the Lumia 900.

[@PivotHDV]

The ipad in water was glitching cause, "Ipads screens are capasitive touch, which means it uses little bit of your body electrons of your finger to move/open an app, and water has the same result as if it was finger's all over the screen"

[@PhyerTwo]

I really like watching these, the host is very cute and there's something about the destruction of tech that I'm compelled to watch haha

[@mart1nfu294]

Looking back at the old iPad how it didn’t bend and now 2019 iPad Pro

[@thepiercer6282]

Lol i dropped my ipad while watching this!

[@brave1.0]

did your iPad break when it fell?

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

mine did

[@glorialeon6446]

This should nt be conidered a torture test

[@marcushillary2400]

I just watched the new surface RT torture test, and that was way harder. for example for the cold test there was no cover on it and the oven test he cooked an egg on the glass. It was grass and the water test was wine. this was a little soft of the ipad i think

[@AmyThoughts]

Seriously.. She dropped keys, a phone on it: and it's perfectly fine.

[@KevinShawisdabest]

Watching on my iPad

[@curtisgibson2535]

same

[@mikkelp.8846]

Same.

[@KevinShawisdabest]

What iPad?

[@KevinShawisdabest]

Ipad 2 for me

[@curtisgibson2535]

SAME

[@pipinscotty]

Also, the drop tests here were done onto linoleum, which is a soft rubbery floor. Also, there were no direct corner hits; however it's all to be expected. CNET is in bed with apple.

[@sugggggon]

it's more practical to do spill test for an ipad, you dont just go swimming with your ipad in your pocket unless you have multiple sclerosis and very big pockets.

[@NeXMaX]

I dropped the same model of iPad while out in New York. Broke the volume buttons.

[@larryspiller15]

Anyone care to enlighten me as to why the test was so soft on the ipad? For the surface the heat test was 250° for 1 hour and for the cold test it was put in a real freezer for 2.5 hours. Drop test was from 7ft and for the wet test he didn't give it a chance to dry. Seems unfair..

[@nayankanji5952]

same with the mac book air, driving off with it on the roof and dropping it on its corner as well.

[@kaylinann914]

If you were listening, she said she was basing the tests off by Apple's documented temperatures. For example, in the freezer, Apple said that the iPad could survive temperatures up to 32 degrees. She wanted to test Apple's word. It's different for all devices.

[@larryspiller15]

Yeah w.e they should all be tested equally.

[@Nicholas58081]

The surface went in the oven with a freaking egg on it

[@raysarebest]

She never actually turned it off... She just locked it

[@CABG2028]

The iPad just reacted to the water that's why it went weird. The screen on most touch phones react to your fingers cuz of the electricity conducted through your finger, water is also a conductor of electricity so it responded when the water flowed on it...

[@jamesst20]

True, she's way too kind in this video comparing to the Microsoft Surface. Plus, she was dropping it on the floor and not on cement/stome/brick/asphalt.

[@toxer1025]

I love my ipad 4

[@aidanforet8254]

6:50 Look at her face lol

OMG I love how she doesnt get the difference between off amd standby... xD

We have "dose" and "amd" xD

@@awgybop1 doesn't is correct, amd isnt though

[@awgybop1]

You're 3 years late.

[@giggitygoebbels3612]

This is why i apply a think layer hot glue at the corners of the iPad.Works pretty well.

[@davekracker89]

Why are they dropping the ipad so carefully, but on the Kindle they threw it down a flight of stairs, scrapped it across concrete, and then dropped it on it's edge.

[@allisonmakhoul]

That's the iPad I have and I dropped it standing level in the bathroom and got a large crack...

[@Poebat]

In winter my HTC Evo 4g lte was fine the core temp was 8F for over an hour.... Also survived 6 ft drop

[@kxtelyn6341]

“hey what you cooking?” me oh just my ipad.

[@tayyat41]

That was actually a very informative video! I like it!

[@joseph10097]

OMG why does she say "lets turn the iPad off" when she is only locking it? and then unlocking it LOL

[@thoruntur69]

My heart breaks just seeing the ipad dropped onto the floor :-(

[@supernova1070]

This was the first torture test that was ever done on cnet so quit complaining

[@TheDylan1978]

I spilled milk on mine and i dropped on jagged metal and now I'm watching this on that iPad

[@gullyguysince93]

Oh the good ol days when torture test were less torture

[@Xenophene01]

the floor in vinyl. Helps absorb some impacts

[@berniceh9813]

my ipad dropped today because my friend whacked it out of my hands by accident and now the whole screen is cracked and you can see in side the ipad on the left side, there's literally a larger crack on the side showing the inside of the ipad but surprisingly it still kinda works

[@thesenta100]

You should run it through the same teat they did for the windows tablet rt. They left in the over with no towel for a hour!!! And dropped it from head hight on its corner.

[@katamishi]

Final test should be to take it out in the sun and try to read ANYTHING on the screen, I mean who reads stuff in the sun, right? And one thing we learned, if you dip it in the water it starts to type on its own with a apple ghost embedded.

[@ysaipranav9]

The new iPad is insanely tough

[@ilandboi78]

Wow great video and good series.. look forward to more.. especially the smartphones :) I'm impressed to see the iPad pass all test as I've seen its counterpart (iPhone) not do as well (especially against other cell phones).

[@JeeyounProductions]

people who want to know how durable a device is before buying it so they can know how to maintain, etc.

[@ETTorres1]

They should renew this and make it more fair to the other test of the other tablets

[@Makeuploverx07]

I have a iPod Touch 4g had it since Xmas 2012 dropped it 373727383848828458 times no cracks or anything but I do have a problem with it freezing up

[@mikeynjs94]

This brought me joy...

[@korllark1]

she went easy on it, i bet it wouldn't survive being blended on a blend tech blender.

[@Jeremy-nl8wp]

I think ur a little obsessed with that ipad

[@SuperPinkcutie27]

Hey I was wondering if u could drop the ipad from chest height on concrete coz I did that it only cracked the corner nothing major but it's there!

[@TeamLNY]

worst water test i have seen

[@Flipdip7]

how?

[@47crazed]

try dropong the ipad verticaly... let see what happens. they should includ humidity test on their future videos

[@HarryBriggs98]

Not fair, the dude who tested Surface like did a over head throw on the drop test and left it in the oven for an hour with a egg on it

[@JeeyounProductions]

from what i recall she has an 11 inch macbook air

[@domantasrackovas]

Oh, the drop test for me looked like a horror movie... Still, it's to show how strong it is....

[@techmatrix7396]

The video was awesome but I was wondering if you could do the torture test on the s5

[@AmmarVanKorsha]

I would happily still use it

[@TheLordLukman]

at 0:38 - You Don't Say! it says that on the title of the video and then you hold it in your hand for 42 seconds!

[@MythuSiva]

I love the torture tests but it seems that bias and quick testing decisions degrade the quality of the tests. The integrity of CNET torture tests suffered from this review.

[@Stand4thetruth93]

I bet that iPad can't survive fingerprints.

[@sarmad_e2006]

She looks and sounds like my assistant principal at school...

[@infrared752]

3:50 iPad doesn't do well at that height on gravel. The screen shatters immediately

[@BloodxPledge]

Interestingly enough, the Microsoft Surface was also in the freezer for 30 minutes longer. It's as if this lady is afraid of hurting the same product she's SUPPOSED to damage for a review.

[@prodtrxllbeats]

Th iPad was not doing stuff on the water test nor was it freaking out the water just moved the screen

[@forevergeo6825]

Wow on the torture test for the surface rt they put it in a oven and with the iPad they always cover it

[@SIN15T3R]

thnx a lot dude, didn't know they had that till u told me so.

[@GodofVengence]

I was kind of hoping the phone she tossed on the ipad would break when she tossed the phone on it

[@CrewWhatever]

"The battery is slightly degraded" but i can still get around 9 hours

[@mttogo]

You did not turn it off... you slept the device

[@199703nikhil]

S3 nailed this show

[@mwbgaming28]

legend has it the 3rd generation iPad uses a nokium alloy shell and adapted energy shielding derived from the nokia 3310 Apple didnt scale up she shields enough for total protection so while difficult it is certainly possible to destroy a 3rd generation iPad the nokium alloy shell has impurities which compromise its structural integrity somewhat but it is still stronger than any other tablet ever made to this day it is the most indestructible thing Apple has ever made which is why new iPads now use cheap alumunium and lack the energy shields that were present in the 3rd gen iPad apple engineered the perfect iPad but people were not breaking them so they made the next model as weak as wet plaster

[@missbhav]

I have the 3rd gen ipad and it's bent only after 2 months! I kept it in a griffin survivor case and the thing is bent! I'm not sure if I should blame the case maker or the ipad. Still puzzled as to how i got bent...

[@KTSpeedruns]

And I won't be surprised if the next electronic is completely destroyed from these.

[@TombisRS]

Ipad 30 min at 150 F in towel... Surface 1 hr at 300 F with a freaking egg on it... seems very fair

[@livelylemongrass]

My 2 year old brother was left in a hot car by my parents. He didn't survive.

[@PCHCP011]

If that iPad wasn't cover up in the heat test Im pretty sure that the device would have fail.

[@TheCIScommander]

It still survived.

[@victorivanov6603]

As an iPad user, I have dropped my iPad many times, and it is still great, I even wrote this comment on it!

[@azza2794]

You should get the add blocker plugin which blocks KZbin adds and most popups!!!

[@LhEeGaErNtD]

she must have installed the "torture proof" app.

[@Crowbar1711]

corners are why i have to keep replacing the screen.

[@HarryBriggs98]

No, but the surface failed 2 or 3 challenges whilst the iPad passed all of them because that woman obviously wanted the iPad to win by doing easy challenges

[@vanjadobrijevic9545]

Anyone watching in 2021?

[@StupidMilkYT]

make this into a tv show

[@raiderpig5640]

What if you tap on the screen of your iPad with REALLY BIG force? Will it still work?

[@lorannya]

yes duu

[@Autofanatic28]

instead wrap the ipad with towel. just have it lay on the tray on its own.
