Dunking these gadgets in water is one way to see how quickly they pack up, but it also gives potential consumers some insight into some of the situations owners can find their devices in.
This is where a top ten list of tablets and smartphones have been put through the test and an article on The Telegraph gives us reason to believe the iPad Mini is the highest in regards to the most breakable gadget. Apple products do not fare too well in the water damage test as the iPad Air comes a close second, while the Nexus 7.1 came third then the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, with the Nexus 7.2 coming in as the most resilient of the bunch.
With Apple products dominating in the area of most breakable gadgets the aforementioned site also dropped these devices onto the concrete from a set height and it seems that Apple products are more fragile and easier to damage in an accident than the various other counterparts.
