Hatton Smith recently shared a video on his TikTok showing an iPhone with a protective case falling from 14,000 feet (about 4267.20 meters), but still undamaged and still working properly.
Smith recently jumped out of a window during a high-altitude skydive, and then the iPhone in his pocket accidentally flew out.
Smith said the iPhone should have free-fell at over 100 mph and was later recovered through Find My.
The fact that it still works is largely due to luck, starting with the fact that the iPhone was wearing a rugged Catalyst case and that it hit the ground not on rock or concrete, but on muddy, soft ground.
