iPhones suck. Right?
As I am sure many of you have noticed, I wrote an article a little while ago titled ‘iPods suck. Right?‘ where I basically just demanded that iPods are built better then people bitch and moan about and that in fact that are extremely hardy. I stand by this completely. Some of you may also have noticed that there was a very pleasing comment with a link to an article about an iPhone that had been run over by a truck, and while not in its best condition, still functioned.
I have decided to post a follow up to that, because I have some interesting new developments. Now, the reason I was driven to write this actually branched from an unfortunate accident, that involved the house of 3 of my close friends burning down, leaving them with next to nothing. The news report can be watched here, its quite the fire.
This was truely a tragic event, there is no denying it. I know I will be among the people to mourn this house, as I spent a good amount of time there on a regular basis. Thats apart from the point though.
While fleeing their house, they clearly did not have time to save many possessions, keeping in mind that two of the three residents own an iPhone. Thankfully one of them had her phone in her pocket when she left, however the other person was less lucky, as with the third resident and her iPod.
Eventually the next day the three of them were allowed into the very much destroyed house to try and find any possessions that somehow could have survived not only the inferno, but also the smoke and water damage. And believe me, there was very little. Despite this, as they were looking they heard the alarm of the iPhone going off, making it very easy to hunt down. The iPhone was found sitting on a blackened bed with absolutely nothing wrong with it, working completely normally, not even slightly melted… it just smelt bad. Not only that, but it was laying on the bed in the open beside an open laptop which got hot enough for the screen to buckle and melt. The laptop was a windows laptop. 
Yes, the iPhone survived, and no, we don’t know how. Oh but it does not stop there, oh my no. Not only was the iPhone recovered completely fine, the iPod was also. Complete with a fully charged battery. It baffles us how this happened, we have no clue, all we know is that Apple products get a much worse rap then they deserved.

When I posted this we had not done a proper comb over of the house, which we did today. The results of that were interesting, we managed to recover a melted, but fully functional tv remote, XBox 360 controller, Nintendo 64 (wasn’t actually melted, was cleaner then when it went into the fire) and most surprising of all, a melted an wet PSP and DSi which were both completely functional.
