is a mere six minutes long, but it shows the interior of the maxed-out flagship in detail. Plus, around the 4:30 minute mark, there’s a cool short clip by Evident Scientific that will get sworn iPhone foes singing. The short clip is insanely enlarged footage through a microscope showing how easily the titanium coating is being scratched. Here’s a screenshot – mind you, that’s magnified as hell:
“They’re using titanium because it makes the phone 18 grams lighter and titanium sounds cool. Unfortunately for the cool factor, we found that the color on the titanium shell scratches easily, a process that is only satisfying under the magnificent magnification of the microscope kindly loaned to us by Evident Scientific”, says the iFixit reviewer and then adds: “I could scratch this thing up all day”.
Defenders of that decision point out that’s how one can be sure that he/she’s getting genuine Apple parts and that scamming threats are minimized.
