Inside Look: how Apple is testing iPhone 6

Not far from the bustling Apple campus in Cupertino is one very remarkable building. And if you could at least for a moment to imagine yourself iPhone, this would be the last place on Earth where you would like to get there. Here Apple is trying, cool, watered and otherwise tormented by its new iPhone model. In general, it is doing everything to turn your smartphone into a pile of metal and glass.

"We have developed a product that will be reliable throughout your use," - said Apple vice president Phil Schiller. "And in its design, we must understand how it will behave in the real world, what forces will influence him, to test and prove that the product meets the specifications."

As you can guess, Apple does not often show his secret lab to outsiders. The only reason for which invited journalists here - it is a problem bendgeyta. Some users have noticed that the latest iPhone model, easy to bend by hand or in a pocket of trousers. The only thing it is not known how many people are faced with a similar problem.

Apple representatives say that the iPhone 6 are very strong and durable casing. It is made of aluminum with titanium inserts to strengthen the problem areas. And, most importantly, iPhone 6 has gone through hundreds of trials and thousands of pockets of employees before you hit the shops around the world.

What a number of devices have passed through similar trials? 15 000 models iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. «IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been the largest number of tests", - said vice-president Dan Riccio. "As soon as we add more and more features in a smartphone, we need to understand how it can be broken, before it will make our users."

Testing machine methodically doing a variety of treatments with smartphones, which the iPhone can face in the "wild." The same pattern could observe, for example, and inside to Microsoft, when it released the console Xbox One.

Of course, Apple has not disclosed all the iPhone test secrets, but said that the screen of the smartphone installed 25 kilograms, to see how it bends. This is not the maximum weight that can withstand the iPhone, this is the rate at which the smartphone is running and remains in its perfect original condition.

"The bottom line is that if you have enough force to bend the iPhone or other phone, it will be deformed," - said Dan Riccio.

There is also a test called «sit test», in which the pressure is on the phone, which he feels is in your pocket. And not just in the pocket and in his hip pocket. In this case it simulates the situation when a person sits on the smartphone. Moreover, it viewed and "worst case scenario" when the iPhone is in tight jeans, while the man sits on a hard surface.

During another test, smart phones just twisted, this test subject not only to Phone, but also the new MacBook Air models. Dan Riccio told that this is only a small part of the test, most of them carried out in China. Where devices are the final steps before full-scale production.

The last time Apple embarks on journalists in the bowels of his company in 2010, when, after the release of the iPhone 4 issue has been identified antennageyt in which the phone was catching bad signal. But in the current environment, the company will likely not have to hold a special conference.

"As we expected, these cases [with Flex iPhone] are extremely rare," - said Phil Schiller. "In such a situation, if your device was something wrong, we advise customers to apply to the AppleCare, go to the Genius Bar and give employees look at him. And if the product is really something happened that should not have happened, it will be replaced under warranty. "
