US EditionSkydiver's phone survives 14,000ft drop from plane and lands without a scratch
- Skydiver Casey Flay lost his iPhone 13 Pro Max from his pocket during a 14,000ft skydive in Honiton, Devon, in 2025.
- Casey accidentally left the pocket containing his phone unzipped during his jump, not realizing the device had fallen out with him.
- After landing, Casey used Apple's Find My iPhone app to locate the device, which was found intact in a forest four miles from his landing site.
- Casey, a 37-year-old engineer and seasoned skydiver with more than 500 jumps, mentioned that following the phone’s 14,000-foot fall to the ground, one of its side buttons, which had previously been stuck, is now functioning properly.
- The phone's survival without damage suggests remarkable durability, and Casey noted one side button works better after the fall, possibly improved by the impact.
