How long does iphone stopwatch last

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? What do our dreams mean? When will the Macbook get a multi-touch keypad? These are some deep thoughts and questions about the universe. So what about the stop watch on the iPhone? Surely you've left it on by mistake and come back days or weeks later to find the thing still running. So did you ever wonder how long it would go? The answer was sought by YouTuber TravTay who filmed the holy moment in what looks to be a college study room.

It still continues to count despite knocking off the seconds counter. Think about how the stopwatch on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch works. Pretty simple, right? Generally, you think of a stopwatch as a simple mechanism that just measures how much time has elapsed.

Instead of just counting the seconds after you tap on Start, the Stopwatch app actually records the time and date that you hit that button. The end result is that the Stopwatch can measure time, even if you close out of the app or you shut down your phone. The timer, of course, works in a similar way, just in reverse. Once you know that one little detail, the next thing that may come to mind is just how far you could push those limits.
