iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus: Ultimate Durability Test [Video]
According to the video that has been posted to YouTube by SquareTrade, the recently-released iPhone SE is less durable than the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The experts have recently performed a series of tests including placing the aforementioned devices into the water, dropping them from height and bending with a special machine. The results of these extensive testing procedures revealed that the 4-inch smartphone is the least durable among those tested.

Below you can take a look at the video showing the testing process.
