This skydiver’s iPhone survived a fall from 14,000 feet, we’ve never seen an iPhone survive such a fall.
It’s not a good idea parachute when you have your iPhone in your pants pocket, although fortunately for Hatton Smith, his iPhone survived against all odds. Even better, the experience was videotaped and we can see when the iPhone is thrown away and how it is recovered.
Skydiving is a risky sport and it is not strongly recommended to take an iPhone with you. In this case, the jump occurred from an approximate height of 14,000 feet, or more than 4,000 meters. This may be the maximum height an iPhone has ever survived. Even if the iPhone resists falls well, we have been talking for a long time.
After a fall of more than 4,000 meters, this iPhone worked perfectly
As Hatton Smith posted on his TikTok account, his iPhone flew out of his pants pocket as soon as he parachuted from an altitude of 14,000 feet. And after this fall, in which the iPhone could reach a speed of 160 kilometers per hour
Of course, this is due to two main reasons. On the one hand, his iPhone had a Catalyst protective case, which proved to be really resistant since it hardly suffered any scratches. But also, the iPhone fell in a swampy area

Even if It may seem like a secret announcement, the truth is that Hatton indicates that it is not.. Additionally, he says he tried to contact the brand to tell them the story and was unsuccessful.
We’ve heard previous stories of iPhones falling from planes and surviving or iPhones that have endured several days underwater. However, it is the first story in which we see an iPhone surviving a fall of more than 4,000 meters.
