iPhone 4 Survives Fall From Skydiver's Pocket

Posted by samzenpus on from the indestructible-object dept.

tripleevenfall sent in a link with a story that is sure to be the basis for the next iPhone 4 commercial. From the article: "Jarrod McKinney's iPhone 4 — a notoriously fragile device — cracked when his 2-year-old knocked it off a bathroom shelf. So it's easy to see why McKinney, a 37-year-old in Minnesota, would be 'just absolutely shocked' when that same phone survived a fall from his pocket — while he was skydiving from 13,500 feet."

    I've heard of dropped calls, but this is ridiculous.

    "Sponsored by Apple" is missing at the end of the article.
