Creative Gadget Killers

'iPhone 3G vs Solar Death Ray' Shows the Phone's Lasting Power

With the new iPhone being released in stores, the 'iPhone 3G vs Solar Death Ray' video is one pair's creative way of saying goodbye to their iPhone 3G.

Why anyone has a magnifying contraption in their backyard such as this one is beyond me, but it proved essential for this experiment. While the iPhone was playing MGMT, the boys stuck the gadget under the Solar Death Ray for its ultimate demise. The iPhone 3G lasted a considerable amount of time considering the heat (and being on fire); note how long you are able to hear music. 'iPhone 3G vs Solar Death Ray' is a creative way to move on.
