Dropped from a height of 3.5km, iPhone X survived and worked properly without a scratch

Recently, a pilot named David shared a story about his iPhone X being dropped from a height of about 3.5km but still alive and functioning normally, not even a single mark. scratch. iPhone X is one of the iPhones whose back and front are both made of glass, so the story David shared surprised many people.

Specifically, David’s story was shared by him on the Diamond Aviators forum (a forum for pilots using Diamond’s aircraft). He said that while piloting an airplane with the code number Diamond DA40 flying from Colorado Springs to Atlanta, he tried to take out his iPhone X to take a picture of the cloud on the right through the small window on the side of the plane. David explains that the small window on the side of the Diamond DA40 can be opened during flight and allows taking pictures without getting caught in the window shield.

Of course, with the speed of the plane (about 280km/h), when opening the window, there will be a very strong air flow. Just bring any object close to the air stream between the window into the outer space, it can be dragged behind and disappear into the wide sky. This happened with David’s iPhone X. After “hundreds of photos were taken”, the iPhone X finally flew out of the window and disappeared afterwards.

“There was a strong airflow and my right hand was too close to the window. In a millisecond, my iPhone was sucked out of the window and disappeared,” David shared.

It was only the next morning that David received a surprise. During the remote wipe process, the iPhone X sent the device’s last location (near Blythe Arkansas) to David’s Apple account, and he decided to fly back to Arkansas to find the lost iPhone.

After hours of rummaging in a nearby field where the iPhone X had sent a location signal, David finally found his iPhone. “I picked up the phone and to my surprise, there was no scratch at all, just dust on the case. The screen still works perfectly.”

David said his iPhone X is almost completely protected from a drop from a height of 3.3km thanks to the Otterbox Defender Series case he bought in 2018, without any hardware or battery damage. . He also commended Apple and Otterbox for helping his iPhone survive at an altitude of 3.5km without a scratch, and saved the photos taken that day.
