Modern smartphones are well equipped to deal with almost any kind of damage, but can they withstand being dropped into a pool of lava? A group of tech enthusiasts from California, USA undertook to find out how an iPhone 6s would cope. The footage, captured earlier this month, shows the lava slowly consuming the phone, causing it to burst into flames. When the phone is eventually retrieved, the device is obviously beyond repair, with its casing and battery thoroughly destroyed.
