How far can an iPhone fall and survive

[Tom G.]

Here's one that fell 100,000 feet and survived.

Video of flight begins at about 2:35 into video.

Don't tell me they are not tough!

Amazing! 60 below zero at 100,000 ft and it still worked!!

Be Prepared to Stop....

It's never the fall that gets you, but rather the abrupt halt at the end.

They planned ahead and cheated - it was sent up with some handwarmers.

And how is that "cheating"?

And how is that "cheating"?

I agree. planning ahead to use hand warmers is not cheating. Neither is using a parachute.

The video is really cool.
As for minor mistakes the guy made. One being the hand warmers to try to keep the equipment warm. Those things are basically high speed rusting of iron and use oxygen out of the air. Rather worthless at higher altitudes. Now great idea in theory.
I still say it was rather cool to watch.

Simply amazing

I saw this on the new a couple weeks ago I didn't know they used an iPhone. When my son gets older I would love to do something like this.
