iPhone 7 subjected to bizarre rubber torture for your amusement
At last, we know what happens when you completely drown an iPhone 7 in liquid rubber.
TechRax, the YouTube channel behind a number of bizarre tech stunts, released a new video Saturday demonstrating the process for all. Nearly 5 million people have tuned in so far to see if the iPhone would still be standing by the end.
Spoiler: It's fine.

Some of TechRax's other popular experiments include dropping the iPhone 7 Plus from the world's tallest building and testing the iPhone 6s in hot lava. All realistic, everyday situations, of course.
This is also the same guy who drilled a "headphone jack" into the iPhone 7. Don't try any of this at home, obviously.
In his latest video, TechRax tests what happens when you pour liquid rubber all over a brand new iPhone 7 in the box and place the top back on. The liquid hardens after five hours, and he peels the layer of rubber off the iPhone. It leaves detailed mold in the rubber that captures every detail of the phone and its accessories.
The iPhone 7 still turned on and was fully functional.
TechRax mostly performs his stunts with iPhones, but maybe he should do the rubber trick with the Note7 and see if it still explodes. Just a thought.
