Who needs a bullet proof vest?
They've got an app for that...
Always carry an iPhone against 9mm

I was very surprised to see, after the 1st round to the middle, that a 9mm didn't penetrate!

I've got to wonder if he used an 85 grain frangible bullet or 147 grain FMJ?

Now in 993 land ...

Problem is the phone isn't set against a hard stop. It can fly off and carry some of the energy with it. Can't do that if it is in your shirt pocket.
At any rate, that's a tough phone. Get one of those and a .357 George |

The lesson here is clearly when trying to kill an iPhone user, a high-powered rifle is best.

Or, if you can't get the $300 to Sniper, then you need a photography vest (lots of pockets) and a dozen or two Iphones. Then, Viola, you've got the hippest body armor ever!

No problem, should be covered by warranty.

I'd have used a 12 gauge personally.

Neat production on the video. I hope Apple sees this.

I dunno, looked like the bullets went right through to me. The back of the case is tough nylon plastic. Looks like it simply ripped the plastic rather than making a clean hole.
Not saying an iphone couldn't absorb a great deal of energy. Its a 1cm thick sandwich of glass, metal and circuit board (itself a sandwich of copper and epoxy resin). |

I think he should have sent in to Apple with a "please warranty" card before he burned it. Maybe a jumpdrive with the video too?
