Dropped iPhone Causes Woman to Be Trapped Upside Down in Rock Crevice for Hours

In a macabre sort of way.
More a sign of the times we live in.

These sites love anecdotal stories. Not common, but it gets the clicks.

Yeah. It's a real regression. In the middle ages, absolutely nobody came to harm from dropping their cell phone.

This is what Timmy’s insane $1200 iPhone will cause poor scmucks like this to do

The iPhone did NOT cause this. Being stupid, materialistic, or both caused it.

drop a magsafe charger tied to a rope.

That might work! A chunk of iron might work, too.

Admit it, who else wanted to tickle those feet??

 

[chandler55]

ive read the nutty putty cave story like 5 times since it happened. i aint touching no cave ever

 

[Amazing Iceman]

A fishing rod with a big magnet will have been enough to fish that phone ahead of that place

Maybe if they were clean and not smelly

I was anticipating for a grand finalle such as... "the iPhone at the bottom of the pit automatically SOS'd emergency services for her rescue"...
This is not an  related news no matter which angle you look at it from...

She fared better than this guy, who was trapped upside down for 27 hours and died of a heart attack. This is the stuff of nightmares.

As our Aussie saying goes; you can get a pizza faster than emergency services 😄

As an Aussie friend told me after encountering a black snake in his back yard, "Not a day goes by in this country without something trying to kill you."

It’s literally meant to be a hilarious post. Not every post here is meant to be serious and in depth lmao. Y’all are cracking me up with how silly you all are because they posted what most sane ppl read as humor. A woman almost died trying to save an iPhone she can just use apple care plus on.

Like you said "a woman almost died", so where's the humour exactly? But honestly, to then finish the article with "she was not able to retrieve her iPhone." is quite crap really and is quite bottom shelf for MR.

Dumbest title of a MacRumors article in the history of MacRumors. The title should be “stupid woman gets herself jammed in a crevice chasing after iPhone.”

Yup, this article is quite bottom shelf.

Man some people just cannot let go of their iPhones. ‘This is our most addictive phone yet’, should be Cook’s next catch line!

 

[BGPL]

"dropped iPhone causes woman to be trapped"... no one is ever at fault for anything anymore.

 

[eddieaus]

Did the iPhone also cause her shoes falling off her feet?

 

[Mick-Mac]

I wanna know if the screen cracked or not...

 

[Eriamjh1138@DAN]

Lawsuit coming against Apple for causing her to fall. She’ll get a couple million out of this. Only in America. /s ♥️

It was in Australia, you git!

If this was an Android phone she'd have left it 🤣

Edit: apologies to the two android users I offended. If it’s any consolation I have a pixel 7A as well and I’d have left that and my iPhone 15 Pro down there.

Vs. my life? Yeah. iPhone, iPad, Mac Studio… even my car if it had fit.

 

[sdf]

Does Mac Rumors just scour the internet for Apple related stuff to post? If this woman had a Samsung Galaxy, would that have been posted?

I think they probably would've, but it would've been off topic.

 

[Eriamjh1138@DAN]

Great. New fear unlocked.

Don't drop your phone inside stuff.

Father and son accidentally find remains of missing man inside a dinosaur statue

A spokesperson for the regional police force told the Guardian they believe it was an accidental death and no foul play is suspected at this time.

Also could’ve happened with any phone, very much not iPhone news.

LOL… ya anyone stupid enough to risk their life for a device. Darwin theory in action. I hope they charge her for the cost of the rescue, like they would in my country for stupid incidents like this.

Misleading title, should read…

trying to save $800

It's been a piece since you copped a new iPhone, inn't?

Still, I appreciate your sentiment . . . nary a device important-enough to warrant jeapordising one's life.
