iPhone 17 Pro fell from a plane from a height of more than 1 kilometer, but continued to work

The iPhone 17 Pro, which was recently purchased by US-based artist Heather Klein, has come to the fore with an unusual incident. While the woman was taking pictures from the back seat of a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, a strong gust of wind snatched the smartphone from her hand and threw it more than 1 kilometer down.

Heather Klein and her husband immediately after the incident determined the GPS coordinates of the device using the "Find My iPhone" function on their Apple Watch. After the plane landed, they set off to look for the smartphone.

After some time, the iPhone was found in a rapeseed field. Interestingly, neither the screen nor the camera of the device were damaged. The smartphone was fully functional and even the flight path was left open on its screen.

Experts say that flat objects falling from a height are somewhat stabilized and their speed decreases due to air resistance. However, the fact that the phone fell into a soft rapeseed field played a key role in its survival.

The incident caused widespread discussion on social networks, and many users called it a ready-made advertisement for Apple.
