If sky diving is one of your hobbies, you just might want to be careful when taking your smartphone into the sky with you, unlike the diver who unfortunately dropped their iPhone 4 13,500 feet to meet the ground. What’s amazing, however, is that the iPhone actually survived!
The iPhone 4 was in an Incipio-brand iPhone 4 case, but did manage to survive the immense fall after falling out of a sky diver’s pocket. The iPhone’s glass was shattered, and the enclosure was certainly worse for wear, the iPhone could still make and receive calls, and was able to be located with Find My iPhone.
While this iPhone 4 might have been lucky, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that if you’re a sky diver, you just might want to leave your iPhone 4 on the ground. Just a thought.
In what is probably the best unintentional marketing campaign for the Incipio iPhone 4 case, an iPhone 4 has survived a fall from 13,500′ after slipping from the pocket of a skydiver.
