"iPhone Survives Fall from Boeing 737 MAX 9 at Tens of Thousands of Feet"

An iPhone reportedly fell 16,000 feet from an Alaska Airlines flight and survived intact, sparking discussions about its resilience. Scientists explained that phone manufacturers' efforts to make devices stronger, along with the phone's crash landing location and the use of phone cases, likely contributed to its survival. The phone was found by a man and turned over to the National Transportation Safety Board. The physics of momentum and air resistance also played a role in the phone's survival, prompting discussions on how cell phones are aiding science education.
