You might’ve dropped your iPhone on the floor and felt massive relief to find it undamaged. Or maybe a bit cracked. But what happens when an iPhone plummets 14,000 feet?
Thanks to TikTok and a skydiver who failed to secure his handset, now we know. At least in this one very lucky case.

Some folks like to carry their iPhones around without cases, given that the handsets are pretty solid these days on their own. But should you really take that chance? Just imagine that extremely expensive iPhone 13 slipping out of your hand and hitting the pavement.

But it’s a whole lot less likely to occur if you have an iPhone 13 case that offers a great grip, like Elago’s protective and delightfully colorful silicone cases. They’re a great deal in the Cult of Mac Store — they cost far less than Apple’s similar cases.
