Other Woman Drops iPhone From Plane, Tracks It Down

Now this is one of the reasons I like my iPhone! This lady lost hers when she dropped it from a biplane and managed to track it down using Find My iPhone! The phone was unharmed after its fall. Simply amazing!

Cool story, happy ending

I'm guessing the story would be different if it landed on concrete.

A little interesting but not that amazing. The iPhone landed in a soft spot while it was still on and she was able to determine it's approximate location and then call it.

I was at an international airport last week and there was a guy frantically walking around the boarding gate area (Which was extremely busy at this time of day) looking for his iPhone, and he used the find my iPhone function, which I could hear his phone dinging from a distance, fortunately for him, an airport employee walked over and handed him his iPhone. It’s the little features like this that make the difference in those rare situations.

The phone took an AVATAR fall and some real large palm trees saved it.

This is why I don’t buy used phones unless they are a bargain.

Who knows what internal damage there is to the iPhone from a drop. Things can get loose or damaged from a drop. Even if the phone looks in mint condition.
