Here’s how that iPhone survived a 16,000-foot drop from the Alaska Airlines plane

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/iphone-alaska-airlines-drop.webp?w=1500)</div><p>Back in January, a fully intact iPhone was discovered (https://9to5mac.com/2024/01/08/iphone-from-onboard-alaska-airlines-incident-found-survives-16000-foot-drop/) along the side of the road after plummeting 16,000 feet when a door blew off an Alaska Airlines flight. At the time, we pointed out that it was pretty incredible the iPhone 14 Pro Max survived such a dramatic fall. </p>



<p>The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern (https://www.wsj.com/tech/personal-tech/why-an-iphone-can-survive-a-drop-from-a-plane-but-not-from-your-kitchen-counter-57453ca9?st=38g28tac8xfck9a&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink), however, was determined to get more answers. </p>
