Gold iPhone 5s Torture Test vs .50 Caliber Rifle [VIDEO]
We’ve seen the iPhone 5s Touch ID fingerprint sensor go up against dirty fingers and the phone itself in drop tests. Now, YouTube channel RatedRR has put the gold iPhone 5s up against a .50 caliber rifle (they have previously also destroyed the iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, etc.).
If you’re still waiting for your iPhone 5s or you love the one you have in your precious hands right now, this might be difficult to watch (although the slow motion is pretty interesting).

Ever buy those “damage” warranties? it costs a measly $50 to replace a damaged iPhone (on top of their $75-$100 initial up-front cost of warranty).
32,000 views and the video was uploaded yesterday- He’s probably made the money back to pay for the iPhone(s) and Bullet(s). And his subscriber base most likely help fund a large majority of those fire arms as well.
