It’s many people’s worst nightmare — the door of an aircraft tearing off mid-flight, the pressurized cabin suddenly losing all semblance of safety. Air whirling around, people screaming, the O2 masks falling from the ceiling of the aircraft… and your iPhone, torn from your hand with your baggage information still on screen.
The plane might land (and land, thankfully, did Alaska Airlines flight ASA1282 with no casualties) but you’d imagine your iPhone, no matter how well you’ve wrapped it in a case and screen protector, is about to meet a sticky end after a very, very long drop.
