Written by : TNM Staff

What do you do when you have a drone and a really expensive phone? A YouTube channel, titled UnlockRiver.com, drops them from 1,000 feet as part of an 'Extreme Durability Test.'

The latest 'victim' of the drop test, was the newly-released iPhone X.

Apple's new smartphone, celebrating the iPhone's tenth anniversary, is the tech giant's biggest asset for the upcoming holiday season.

The company hoped that the long-awaited launch of its new device, which hit the stores earlier this month in 55 countries, including India, will boost its year-end profits.

So what really happens when you drop Apple's costliest smartphone till date, from 1,000 feet? Watch to find out.

However, this is not the only phone that Khristian Flohr from Unlock River has dropped in this manner. There is an entire YouTube playlist with 37 videos.

He had earlier also dropped the Samsung Galaxy 8.

The Galaxy Note 8, a 6.3-inch phablet, costs nearly Rs 68,000 in India.

Watch the video below.

The YouTube channel has also put the IPad Pro to the extreme drop test, from 900-feet.

It's not only expensive phones that the team has dropped. They have also dropped the infamous Nokia 3310, which is known to be one of the most durable phones ever built. 

Upping the ante, they dropped the phone from 1,500 feet. See what happened.

They also dropped the new Nokia 3310 that was released in 2017, and compared it to the old version of the same model, by dropping two phones at the same time.

Check out the result for yourself.
