Since the launch of the original iPhone, drop tests have been pretty common when assessing the handset's durability. We have seen tests conducted by users who drop iPhones from up to 20 feet or more. Well, a user accidentally dropped his iPhone while skydiving from approximately 14,000 feet and did not realize it. Apple makes sure the iPhone is built well but it does not take into account being dropped from a plane. Scroll down to read more details to check out how the iPhone survived skydiving.
iPhone survives a massive 14,000-feet drop as it slips out of a user's pocket while skydiving
Each year, Apple strengthens the iPhone with better front and back glass. It makes sure that the device survives accidental drops. However, if an accident happens while skydiving, it is very rare that the phone survives. User Hatton Smith shares the video of his skydiving experience on TikTok where it can be seen how his iPhone slipped out of his pocket and went flying 14,000 feet to the ground at approximately 100 mph and survived. The video captures the moment when the iPhone flew out of his pocket.
Luckily, the iPhone survived the impact after falling as the user tracked it down after his skydiving experience. Take note that the result would have been a lot different if the device fell on a hard surface. We can see in the video that the iPhone was picked up from a muddy or mushy surface. The comparatively soft landing spot absorbed the hit and saved the iPhone. Additionally, the iPhone also had what appears to be a bumper case on. The case potentially contributed to the device's safety as well.

The iPhone surviving the 14,000 feet drop was not a sponsored stunt as well as the user tried to contact the case manufacturer for feedback. While it is fortunate for the iPhone to survive the massive drop, some users are not so lucky in this regard. We have seen the iPhone crack from a couple of feet as well. You can check out the video embedded above for more details.
Apple is working to launch the iPhone 15 Pro model later this year and is rumored that the device will feature a titanium finish. Titanium will offer enhanced durability compared to stainless steel or aluminum on the current iPhone 14 series. Take note that the final word rests with Apple, so be sure to take the rumor with a grain of salt. Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
