Found Footage: iPhone Stopwatch 1,000 hour "memory loss"?


In this trivial video, someone shows what happens to the iPhone when the stopwatch has been running for over 1,000 hours. You may ask yourself, "Who runs their iPhone's stopwatch for over 41 days?" And we asked ourselves the same thing. But what happens is most definitely surprising -- and brings a whole new meaning to geek.

I've made it running for more than 400 000 hours! And even negative time! Look my thread on ipodtouchfans:

I've had mine going for over 2000 hours. Basically my phone became really slow, and the stopwatch was really glitchy. Sometimes it would show the numbers, show ... and go offscreen but it still kept going.

I find it cool, that he quoted the Band "Europe" when he was quielty singing "It's the Final Countdown" but he had to be
-3 when that song came out!!! (1980's) He'll get the chicks for sure!

Cool, "experiment" Kudos!

When I first got my iphone (when they first came out), the stopwatch had a bug...

If you had the stopwatch running while the phone was asleep, it would "time travel". It would jump 20 minutes in 5 minutes time! The time on the clock seemed to randomly jump forward too. It wasn't a fixed time. Another 5 minutes, and it could have jumped 40 minutes.

Also there is a typo in Fieldtest.app, it says firware version instead of firMware.

Damn! I was hoping it would divide by zero.

I think the stopwatch, in fact, is still going, but the display is not showing all numbers, and instead the ellipsis, because there isn't enough space.

Interesting. I was hoping for a out of bounds, integer overflow error.
