Here's some good news: Apple's new smartphone can withstand a 100,000-foot drop from the edge of space. Sort of.
Smartphone case manufacturer Urban Armor Gear sent an iPhone 6 to space in November to see whether its case would successfully protect the phone during its descent. The video, which we found via Geo Beats shows that the phone did in fact make it back unharmed.
While it did have a parachute, the iPhone 6 was able to withstand 70-mph winds and temperatures of below -56 degrees Celsius. The iPhone was sent into space with a balloon and a rig that included two GoPro cameras. The views were seriously impressive.
