    Once you’re far enough up to reach terminal velocity, it doesn’t matter how far you fall any more. (mostly)

    I think the phone case used is about to get some good online reviews.

    And that the airline refunds the baggage fee.

    So? Humans have survived similar falls and we‘re just big flesh bags. It‘s all a matter of where and how you‘re landing.

    Apple propaganda is getting weird. Even apple thinks they’re customers are too brainwashed to believe crap like this.

      It’s not really that unbelievable. It reaches terminal velocity and stops getting faster, it lands on a soft surface, it’s in a case, with a screen protector.
