iPhone 3GS pool drop video: real or fake?
A video called iPhone 3GS dropped in the pool. Still works! has been making the rounds (350,000+ views) purporting to have been recorded from an iPhone 3GS that was dropped into a pool — and still works.
The Zapruders out there have taken issue with a few details of the video that look suspicious, including a mysterious strap that’s visible in it and the fact that the movie wasn’t uploaded from the iPhone itself. YouTube user “KhenaKara” swears that the video is authentic and remains defensive about it saying “As of 6/28/09, phone still works fine.”
As for me, I think that it’s fake just because of the cheesy voiceover and bad acting.
What about you? Chime in the Poll and TalkBack!
