iPhone Survives 16,000-Foot Fall from Alaska Airlines Plane
TL;DR Summary
An iPhone survived a 16,000-foot fall from an Alaska Airlines plane after a door plug blew off, leaving a hole in the aircraft. Found by a passerby, the phone was intact, in airplane mode, and had a half-full battery. Physics experts attribute its survival to air resistance and the cushioning effect of the grass it landed on. This incident is not the first time an iPhone has survived a high fall, as a similar case was reported in June 2023.
