The original iPhone, unofficially mentioned theiPhone 2G, was the start of it all about 10 years ago. With 8 gigabytes of capabilities, Im holdingthe more plush of the two forms initially launched; the other having a whopping 4 gigabytesof internal storage. Apple sold about 6 million of these originaliPhones. So lets throw back and analyze how thebuild quality was back in 2007.[ Intro] Now clearly with a phone this old, it isfairly difficult to find a brand new one like I always do with my regular soundnes assessments. This phone does appear to be in original conditionthough, well, at least it was before I got my hands on it. Well start with the scratch test. The original iPhone is using the first generationof Gorilla Glass. This is basically tempered glass used on cellphone screens. And as we know, most tempered glass is a 6on Mohs scale of hardness.But we are seeing some gouges on this phoneat a degree 5, which never happens on the more recent Gorilla Glass explanations, like GorillaGlass 4 or 5. So some things have improved in the glassdepartment since this phone was secreted. Its almost interesting that you can almostsee the individual pixels on the screen. The dwelling button does not contain a fingerprintscanner and is made use of plastic. But it does there has that slaking physicalclick that has been removed on the newer versions of the iPhone. Up here on the breast facing camerajustkidding, theres no figurehead facing camera. That piece was not implemented into theiPhone lineup until the iPhone 4. The earpiece is buried fairly deep under thatthick color glass.It appears to be of a nylon smorgasbord but itdoes not pull out easily like weve construed on some of the other phones. I still recollect metal concludes for the most idealear piece on a cell phone and fortunately thats what weve been appreciating in the second largest editionsof the iPhone. The back of the phone is pretty puzzled. Instead of antenna bandings at the top and bottomof the telephone, “were having” more of an antenna glob. This black plastic section of the phone makesup a moderately massive fraction of the manoeuvre mas and is definitely not “the worlds largest” aesthetic lookingpiece of tech, but it did get the job done way back in the working day. Lucky for us the silver component of the phoneis indeed real metal. Solid. Cold. And tone feeling in the hand.And looking, its an apple tree. You can tell its an apple tree from theapple there in the center. Its pretty neat. This incredibly small roundabout up here in thetop corner is the 2 megapixel camera lens for picture taking. The video abilities is still not introduceduntil the iPhone 3GS, two years later in 2009. The interesting thing is that this cameralens is made from plastic. The little lip along the leading edge probably doesntoffer much defence either. I am glad that Apple has improved on thiswith later different versions of the iPhone, delving into their own special merges of sapphire. There is no flash, so good luck with yourlow light-headed hits, and no flashlight either. The surface work buttons are made from plastic, and even this subdue button is plastic. Now normally Im an Android guy, but thismute switch is actually a really good idea. I find myself said that he hoped that my Galaxy S8 hadone.Id be more than happy to trade Bixby fora mute switch. Take a look at that headphone jack. There are 9 years of innovation between therelease of these two telephones, and I think its a little funny that the smaller iPhone has plentyof room for the headphone jack, but Apple claims that the bigger phone, which is almosttwice the size, did not have chamber. I think that theres ever area for jack if you make room. The dominance button is made from plastic. And the bottom of the phone near the chargingport is also plastic. There are a lot of different materials usedin the body-build of this phone.The chrome inspecting metal around the screenis much harder than the soft aluminum on the back. It is much more scratch resistant as well. And this is good if you were to ever adjusted yourphone face down on something, or drop it. The cheek around the screen would not be damagedor flake apart like what happened with the plastic lip on the Galaxy S5. The original iPhone has a 3.5 inch TFT LCDdisplay, with a 320 by 480 pixel screen solution. Proportionally compared to this 4K video youare watching, the original iPhone screen answer gaped a lot like this, exercising about 2% of the full amounts of the available pixels on screen. The iPhone7 currently has a bit better resolutionat 750 by 1334. And the Galaxy S8 is one of the higher resolutionphones in service industries with a 2960 by 1440 display.Remember, all of these sizes are just relativeto the 4K considering space that YouTube offered. The telephone previous about 20 seconds under thatflame assessment. I considered that the heavier and thicker frontglass committee cured keep the heat off the pixels for longer. Luckily it did recover like the IPS screensthat Apple applies now. And the screen was totally functional a fewseconds after the hot was removed. And now for the deflect research. With all the different materials used in thisphone it will be interesting to see if there are any failure points.The phone is so small, theres almost noteven fairly apartment to grab a inhibit of it with both hands. Even after flexing the phone, the plasticto metal joint along the back is still harbouring very tight. Im sure the small form factor along withthe body style is helping substantially with the rigidness. Personally Id be totally fine if smartphonesstarted trending thicker. Id much very have a larger battery thatcould previous one or two days over some arrow dynamic delicacy piece of flub. I use my phone has a tool and not a fashionaccessory, so the more features it has and how long the artillery lasts are large-hearted sellingpoints for me.Apple make do a good job with this phone though, minus the plastic camera lens. This telephone definitely transfers my durabilitytest. Im agitated to snap this thing down andsee what it looks like on the inside. Now that the phone is so age-old, Im sure thatthere are plenty of old broken phones or phones with dead artilleries laying around just waitingto be brought back to life. What other aged telephones would you like to seetested or rend down on my channel? I mull these throw back are kind of fun.Thanks a ton for watching. Ill see you around ..
