Technically Incorrect: A Canadian woman says she dropped her iPhone 5S out of a plane window. She used the Find My iPhone app, and discovered her perfectly functional iPhone in a park.
A resilient little thing the iPhone 5s.
Not much can survive a fall from 2,500 feet.
Even skydivers need parachute -- or a net.You certainly wouldn't expect an iPhone 5S to be anything other than a smashed collection of metal and glass if it fell that far.
However, Jeannine Buck from British Columbia, Canada says her iPhone can do things others might not.
As the Abbotsford News reports, Buck says she dropped her phone out the window of a Cessna in which she was a passenger last Monday night.
She was flying around taking pictures out the window when the wind slipped it from her grasp.
She says she saw it hitting tree branches in the park below which, perhaps, gave her hope.
A few hours later, she persuaded a friend to offer his phone and its Find My iPhone app in order to search for hers.
It helped that her phone has a distinctive ringtone -- Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay."
She says she found it in the park and even posted a picture to her Facebook page to prove she wasn't making it all up.
