If you are squeamish or faint of heart and love all things Apple you just might want to skip reading this post, but on the other hand if Freddy Krueger is your friend and all the gut wrenching destruction of his movies are for you then keep reading. We’ll take a look at three videos that show Apple’s latest gadget the iPhone 4 getting blended, microwaved, and shot.


Blendtec’s latest video showing an iPhone 4 getting processed in a blender is the latest in a series of videos that they hope will go viral on the Internet.  I don’t have any doubts about it having a chance to do this since it is rather entertaining.

The next video features the iPhone 4 being microwaved. You see sparks, hear some sizzling as it cooks, and finally it catches on fire filling the microwave with smoke and flame. It finally falls over dead split into two pieces surrounded by flames!

The last video features the iPhone 4 being shot with a .50 caliber bullet fired from a Barrett M82A1 semi-automatic sniper rifle. So much for using an iPhone 4 as a shield against an assassin. Some of the language in this video is NSFW — so keep the volume low!
