An iPhone 4 survives a 300-meter fall

If you are one of those who has dropped the iPhone 4 at a height of less than 1 meter and the screen has exploded, I do not recommend reading this news (which is incredible, at least).

Apparently, a parachute jump specialist was testing on a plane when he leaned out to check that they were in the right area to perform the jumps, with the bad luck that at that moment his iPhone 4 plummeted to a high altitude. of 300 meters approximately. When the maneuvers were finished, following the advice of a friend, they searched for the mobile through Find My iPhone and it appeared in an area with trees near where they had landed.

After two hours of searching, they found the mobile intact. According to the protagonist of the story, his iPhone 4 was protected with a back cover and another from Griffin, nothing more. So was the mobile (incredible!) (After the jump).

    I fell from the tractor head of a truck to the ground, about two meters. It was protected with a cover of those that were given by the AntennaGate (it is a transparent rigid plastic, I do not remember the brand), and it had a little touch in one corner but be careful! In the case, the iPhone was flawless. You can't imagine my face when I saw him fall, I thought… Goodbye the screen shatters. But hey, these cases seem to work and work great.

    I have dropped it several times and the only thing that has happened is that the aluminum at the corners is slightly rubbed, and one of the corners is slightly touched in that small part between the glass and the frame. Another time it slipped on a friend while I was going to give it back and it flew off, it hit the ground and I thought it would have been screwed up, but it only made a scratch on the screen. I have it without any type of cover and in general appearance it is much better than my previous 3G.

    It has fallen many times to me and nothing has ever happened to it, even a car ran over it once and intact !! (When the car passed by if it was wearing a cheap silicone cover and the tire passed through the screen that was face up)

    Well, I fell from a fourth floor placing a sign and I got down quickly all scared and «» »
    It was intact, it had a rubber cover. And another day it falls out of my hands and bang the whole broken screen, what things.

    To me the 3G the only place that I drop is my pocket, I have been hitting this maneuver since I bought it and it has been a couple of years ago and the truth has not hurt me any problem lol

    What saved this iphone was the straw of the trees, it landed since the height was 300 m when it touched the ground hit the heaviest part since the equipment is accommodated by engraving.
    On the other hand, when it falls from a meter or less, it does not give it time to accommodate the heaviest part down. That is why it breaks more of much less distance than of more.
    If Apple gives me 4 iPhones, I try to throw it from different distances, you can be surprised at the results ...

    Despite the warning, I couldn't help but read it. you have to see how luck plays with us.

    I have fallen three times and the bumper has saved it, that if more scratched and scratched the bumper can not be, but while it holds ... the 3GS if I fell a few times and I endure beautifully for two years

    It is clear that the mobile has stopped in some area of ​​shock absorbing ground, that is, earth, trees, leaves, nse ... x that is so since the weight of the iPhone is little because normal that it has not happened, now if it had fallen on firm ground ... , rocks, etc ... it is clear that it would have collapsed, what happens to people that we drop a meter and hit the ground and the screen breaks or something else is logic, vams, greetings

  14.   KevinL27 said

    Wow, amazing news! Anyway, I think that what helped it not to break was that it fell in an area where there are many trees, so the treetops had to decrease the fall of the iPhone and then it hit the grass, so ... I think that benefit a lot XD and tmbn xke the boy was lucky XD

    I fell into the mouth of an alligator, it closed its mouth, spit it out because it couldn't handle it, it fell into a concrete mixer, I took it out, while I was shaking it to clean it, it slipped and two tractors and a tanker truck, I took it and went home, being on the balcony I fell (a 13 floor) and nothing, it is perfectly, and it only has a screen protector eh? INCREDIBLE

    This is true: my daughter's iPhone slipped from her hands (3G) and fell down the elevator shaft. It was a fall of 6 floors + 1 garage floor + elevator shaft, that is, 7 floors.
    He was only wearing the thin rubber holster; the SIM was thrown next to the tab and the iphone was in a thin pool of water; After inserting the SIm and drying the iPhone we checked that it was INTACT (it only had some buns on the aluminum).

    My 3GS has hit the ground so many times that I no longer keep track of it (my daughter is 3 years old and she takes it a lot to play with) and it only has a few scratches and a small bun on the aluminum corner.

    I was putting a "For Sale" sign in the window where I lived, and it fell from a height of 4 stories. Thank God he gave me time to go down the stairs and catch him in flight before he hit the ground.

    The other day I was on a plane and when I went to the bathroom my iPhone 4 fell down the toilet, falling about 10.000 feet. Upon landing, I rented a hammer to go look for it and just when I found it I didn't see it in time and I went over it, scared, I went down to see how it was and thank goodness, it just got dirty 😀

    Now seriously, my 3g, my little three-year-old has thrown it a couple of times and nothing has happened to him and again it fell to me in a bucket with water and it left, I took it out and dried it as quickly as possible. I could (kitchen towel and hair dryer) and the truth is that it was great. that yes, it gives me that the humidity sensors will be more than marked. And on the other hand, my wife, with another 3g, when she fell (thrown by the little one) the silence button broke (this has to be bad luck), again, the back part was cracked from top to bottom. And the last one, one day when I hung up a call, the screen died (if they called it, it rang, but of course, I couldn't answer: p) so I went to technical service and they changed it for another.

    and well, the i4 I have not caught, because I have a panic of the xikitin at home: p

    Mine fell and disappeared. I couldn't see it anymore; Well, it fell, but in the hands of a woolly man who snatched it from me on the East Highway.

    Gachupine jokes are hideous. The comments that try to make me laugh narrowly cause me depression, but what is even worse and more depressing is the terrible and poor spelling. «I laughed», «xikitin», «hammer», «put inside» and I don't continue because I feel sorry for others.
