iPhone that fell out of Alaska Airlines plane in flight still operable

Wes Davis, writing at The Verge:

Game designer Sean Bates found an iPhone in a bush Sunday that had fallen from Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 when it lost a part of its fuselage shortly after takeoff. The phone was undamaged, still on, and had the end of a sheared-off charging cable plugged in. Bates posted pictures of his discovery that afternoon, one of which included the screen showing a still-open email with a baggage receipt.

I don’t know if Apple wants to use that in a commercial, but it’s definitely the second-best endorsement of the iPhone’s robustness.
