Apple iPhone releases have been known to make people do crazy things. Whether it’s dressing as a blue slime and sleeping on the street for days or using your nipple to unlock your phone, there’s a sense of excitement and ceremony surrounding each new model that makes us want to push the boundaries and just have fun.

The latest release on the weekend was no different, and in our excitement to test out the much-anticipated ‘Digital Image Stabilization’ (DIS) on the iPhone 6, it seemed entirely sensible to line up two different models side-by-side and give them both a good shake. And how better to do that than by strapping them onto a vibrator?

Looking at the photo below, you can see there’s quite a size difference between the two models we’re using – the dark one on the left is the iPhone 5, and the considerably larger one on the right is the new iPhone 6 Plus. Outdoing them all in the size department is the giant dome-topped vibrator with variable speed control.

What we’re keen to test out is the new ‘Digital Image Stabilization’ (DIS) technology, which is said to halve autofocus and facial recognition times while also bringing continuous autofocus to the video. First we test it out under regular hand-holding conditions and the difference is remarkable.

To see all the steps of our experiment in detail, check out the video below. While we were surprised by the results, we were also relieved to have a Japanese vibrator on hand for the video. After all, Western vibrators look a little different to the domed ones in Japan. And nobody wants to see that strapped onto an iPhone. Or do they?
