According to a report, in what could be the survival test on the impact of the iPhone, a device crashed 2,000 feet from a plane, recording its free fall and showing only a few scratches.
Documentary filmmaker Ernesto Galiotto was flying on a small plane over a Brazilian beach when his iPhone 6 slipped from his hand and fell to the ground below, the Independent reported.
Thinking the phone was a problem, Galiotto used the Find My iPhone app to try to locate the device.
“I had faith that I would recover. I thought, “If it doesn’t fall into the water, we’ll find it,” he said, according to a translation from the local G1 press.
Galiotto’s friend Victor de Oliveir in Tostes said they were able to find the phone very quickly.
“We walked for about five minutes until we reached the mobile phone. It was in a region of sand, with the screen down. The brightness of the sun was reflected on the roof and I was soon able to identify myself in the middle of the sand, ”he said.
“It looks like it was intact, it worked perfectly, with only a part of the screen protector cracked,” he added.
The phone had also recorded more than an hour of video, including its fuzzy offspring, that Galiotto posted on YouTube, where users joked that Apple could use it in an ad.
“And this video has been brought to you by Apple,” one person wrote, while another said, “These phone case ads are really getting out of hand.”
The iPhone 6S was first launched in September 2015.
