A Chinese woman in Ningde, Fujian Province has claimed that her iPhone 12 Pro fell from the 26th floor of a building and was not totaled. The woman says the smartphone slipped from her pocket while spreading her quilt on the balcony of the 26th floor of an apartment complex. The incident occurred on December 18 and leaves a lot of people stunned by the miraculous story.
The Fujian incident joins a growing collection of remarkable stories relating to the iPhone. Previously, iPhones found inside the toilet, inside a river, and even falling from an airplane have seemingly remained intact. The latest incident feeds into the profile of the iPhone brand as very rugged and durable.
According to the report, the falling iPhone 12 Pro was inserted into a platform made of foam on the 2nd floor of the building. The woman requested help and a staff member climbed to the second floor to retrieve the phone. The screen of the device was not damaged, which is impressive, if true. However, there are not a few netizens who have criticized the veracity of the woman’s claims.
The iPhone 12 Pro comes with some protection against damage when it falls. It has a super-ceramic panel and a matte textured glass back panel. It also comes with a stainless-steel frame which is of excellent quality.
These properties however do not absolutely insulate the smartphone from damage after falling from the 26th floor. The alleged story could well be the culmination of a string of coincidences. The coincidence resulted in the smartphone falling from 26 floors and being inserted on a platform made of foam insulation.
