Our second round testing, including a shower, a brief dunking and finally submersion, found that the Liquipelled phones fared no better than untreated control phones, with one of the untreated phones surviving unharmed. The Liquipel claims, unlike the Liquelled phones, don’t hold water, making the $99 service a false reassurance and a complete waste of money.
Meanwhile, four of the five test iPhones, went to a watery grave, and the iPad sustained permanent disabilities. Speaking at the funeral, a distraught Steve Duncombe, our Head Tech-head, stated grimly, “We did not expect them to die. We looked at Liquipel’s video, we read their press release, and we believed them.”
Liquipel: it’s homeopathy for iStuff.
Update
Based on CHOICE testing that showed the manufacturer’s claims are false, NSW Fair Trading has issued a substantiation notice under the Australian Consumer Law that requires Liquipel to justify the advertised claims.
