- description: The best drop test? 100,000ft iPhone 6 is sent to the edge of space - and survives temperatures of -56C (and a crash landing) without a scratch Survived device 70 mph (112kph) winds and temperatures below -56 ° C It was wrapped in a case of "military grade" but no screen protection During the sickening descent, telephone resisted rotational speeds of 150 rpm All testing filmed by camera connected to platform - including his return to earth with a thud An iPhone 6 has survived what must rank as the ultimate test of fall after being sent 100,000ft (30,480 meters) to the edge of space and brought back to earth with a thud. Incredible material reveals the lifting device into the stratosphere while attached to a weather balloon, and exposure to 70 mph (112kph) winds and temperatures below -56 ° C (-70 ° F). The team that takes the phone, then falls back to earth, before crashing into the ground to supposedly prove the durability of its protective case. Although the phone switched off during flight due to extreme temperatures, it was fully functional after the test - despite not having a screen saver. The trick was made by California-based Urban Armor Gear, which made the case. The company sent the iPhone in the enclosed space to a platform that had two GoPro cameras, a GPS locator, a weather balloon to lift the 100,000ft planned altitude and parachute to regulate the descent. A video posted by CNET shows that the platform take off from a field near Chirk Castle in North Wales on a gray and rainy day in November. It is rapidly rises above the rain clouds emerge in bright sunshine and as it gains height, so that the temperature drops quickly. Once that happens 101,000ft, the balloon is removed from the platform and the phone begins its descent to land. The parachute is not completely stabilize the platform and the film shows spinning wildly as it descends, rotating at speeds up to 150 rpm. Over time, land in a field of 12 miles from his takeoff point with a powerful blow that breaks the platform - but the iPhone remains intact. Steve Armstrong, the co-founder of Urban Armor Gear, said after the test: "Our cases already meet the military test standards fall, but now we can officially say that tested the space too. '
