TL;DR
- An iPhone 17 Pro survived a 3,600-foot (1.1km) fall after being sucked out of a small airplane over Canada.
- Its owners tracked it with Find My and recovered it virtually undamaged from a canola field.
- The incident adds to a growing list of remarkable smartphone survival stories over the years.
Over the past couple of years, smartphones have survived some truly absurd situations. A Pixel 8 that spent four days at the bottom of a hot tub. A Galaxy S23 Ultra recovered after five hours beneath Arctic ice. And, of course, the iPhone that survived the Alaska Airlines door-plug blowout. Now, another iPhone has earned its place on that list after surviving a fall that almost nobody would expect.
