Apple iconic iPhone models have over the years gain a towering reputation due to their sleekness, ruggedness, versatility, and invincibility have been well-documented in recent years. The iPhone’s feats range from surviving underwater for long periods to the exploits of the Magsafe, the stories keep building up. One aspect where Apple has built on in recent times is the strength of the iPhone’s display. Stories abound of how the Apple smartphone model has survived falling from aircraft flying at high altitudes and survived.
Another story has emerged of how the iPhone survived falling from an aircraft during takeoff while going at 50-60 miles. The interesting incident occurred at the Orlando Executive Airport in the US and involved the pilot of a Seminole aircraft which explains why the windows could be left open.
Details of how the pilot dropped the phone are not known at this moment but immediately it fell off, he alerted the air traffic control who then relayed it to the Air traffic control tower. When the green light was given to look for the phone, it was found without any damage and still worked fine. The interesting interaction of the air traffic control crew at the airport is available in the video below.
Well, there are several similar stories but perhaps, a lot more about iPhones falling from just a few feet with the screen not surviving. This is likely a mixture of luck and a higher level of solid engineering from the team at Apple.
