“You know how it is,” Trevor Mogg reports for Digital Trends. “You’re in your kitchen, boiling up your blue crayons, stirring spoon in one hand, iPhone in the other. As you scroll through your Twitter timeline, your phone slips from your hand, landing straight in the mass of melting blue goo. Will the handset survive?
Mogg reports, “YouTube user TechRax used this unlikely scenario as the basis for possibly the most bizarre iPhone stress test we’ve seen yet.”
“Highlighting his dedication to the cause but failing to explain why blue has to be the color, TechRax informs us at the start of the video, ‘I had to get like 30 boxes because usually there’s only one color in every box,’ Mogg reports. “The unlucky handset at the center of this peculiar experiment is a ‘beautiful, clean iPhone 6S… 10-out-of-10 condition.’ Though it won’t be for much longer.”

What I like in this videos is how much stupid this wackos are.
Hahaha. I’d much prefer a video of one of those clowns boiling their faces in crayons or even room temp sulphuric acid. Makes about as much sense.
What a waste of time!
Must be a slow news day…
MDN, explain the purpose of this mindless drivel.
Why does this have to be about some iPhone when it could be done with any smartphone or device for that matter? What exactly does it prove. No consumer devices are designed to deliberately going into some boiling fluid and mostly consumers are told not to abuse their electronic devices. Doing these experiments are OK if some owner wants to do it it for themselves but there shouldn’t be any need for them to post it on the internet. There’s no need to encourage others to try such ridiculous experiments especially if it’s against the manufacturer’s policies.
More video views. More revenue.
Set the date to 1970. Nothing will happen, promise.
Idiot. How he handled the fire made it complete.
Just a heads up to his room mates – you might want to make the kitchen a no-go zone for this guy – otherwise, I would recommend not going to bed when he is up and busy making videos.
Darwin Award nominee.
What a waste! I could have used those blue crayons for something worthwhile. 🙂
What an idiot! He came perilously close to burning down the house!
What do you bet the phone belonged to his girlfriend, and he found out she was cheating on him. The guy’s clearly an idiot, but maybe not so much an idiot that he would do this to his own phone.
Yeah breathe all those toxic fumes, great idea.
Could start a business doing this.
But will it blend?
MDN, please don’t give any more exposure to these kinds of idiotic adolescents. That pinhead could have had that battery explode and blind him.

Wax is an oil based product so obviously it burns, the best way to put the fire out is to stave the flame of oxygen as in put a lid on it or cover with a wet towel. Or you can just avoid this problem altogether.
That’s one way to solve the Error 53 problem. Go down in a blaze of glory!
Now that he melted the crayons what is he going to sign his name with?

Online review: Took to Hawaii and dropped into volcano. Didn’t work afterwards. Piece of junk. Zero-stars out of ten!
I was hoping the lithium battery was going to blow up in his face.
A distinct possibility, but it would require water or air. It was more likely in the sink rather than in the wax.
But would you wish the same if it were an Android?

Hey man, just another great “content creator” on Youtube.
Idiocy. Apparently, this was not intended as a piece of performance art or comedy. Therefore, let’s call it a tragedy of stupidity.
If a tragedy of stupidity was the intended purpose, then may I suggest some refinements:
1) When the crayon wax bursts into flames:
– a) Dump a glass of water into the wax,
– b) Have the burning wax splash onto kitchen curtains, leading to the entire kitchen catching fire,
– c) Have the burning wax splash onto Trevor Mogg’s arms and legs, scarring him for life.
2) When Trevor opens the ruined iPhone, have the battery explode into his face, further scarring him for life.
3) Provide an intimate photographic spread of Trevors burn scars as a cautionary illustration of the dangers of performing tragic acts of stupidity.
