Why Dropping a Phone From 300 vs. 16,000 Feet Is Basically the Same Thing | WSJ
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2024
- An Apple iPhone that flew out of an Alaska Airlines flight at 16,000 feet survived without a scratch. How is that possible? Was it the phone case? Are iPhones becoming more durable?
WSJ’s Joanna Stern decided to find out by launching iPhones 14s and Samsung Galaxy S23s out of a phone-dropping drone.

She's funny. I like her.
Getting a budget for this video must’ve been interesting lol.
and the "after party"?
@@klam77 🤣🤣
"Hey boss, can you uh... get me like 10 iPhones and Samsung phones? So I can drop them from 300 feet multiple times? ... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sounds like what RED BULL does everyday
No doubt Samsung's next phone will transform (either manually or automatically) into a micro drone.
Try Nokia from space, the impact would cause an extinction level event.
Nope, didn’t you listen: TERMINAL VELOCITY
Nokia 3310
Nokia = Legend
I'm still using Nokia!
The Galaxy would crumble
In Santa Fe, New Mexico, I somehow dropped my Samsung Galaxy with protective case on a busy street in front of a Hilton hotel. After some innovative detective work by a desk clerk at the hotel, the phone was returned to me in working order. It had been run over by at least one passing car. The screen glass was cracked and the case was roughed up a bit, but the phone still worked fine for a couple of years before I retired it for a newer model. So yes, definitely install a protective case, they work!
But only in Santa Fe, ya hear?
try 5ft on ceramic ground, like in bathroom for example, you will be surprise
I will be surprise
I will be shock!
Not as shock and surprise as the ceramic ground
Seriously doubt there's going to be any difference between that and asphalt in this context.
Any kind of drop test like this is totally not scientific. The same phone dropped from the same height can have different outcome depending on the wind strengths and direction. The iphone dropped from 300 ft on asphalt had its back glass cracked, it would have been the screen if it hit the ground from the other side. Same for the samsung. To get the "real" result, you would need to drop the phones in a closed area to remove the wind impact, dropping each phone at least once in each direction (top up, top down, left down, right down, screen down, back down) and see what the results are. then it is not only a matter of randomness on how the phone lands, but how the shape of the phone really affects how it lands, and how solid the materials really are.
Don't tell WSJ about tiles. A 4ft drop onto them and your screen is toast.
Fact
😂😂😂😂
Would have been nice to see the accelerometer data from the phones
Would like to see some phone diagnostics run to see if anything internal might be broken.
Me watching on my screen that got cracked falling from the sink to the floor 🤔
Read about that in the written version of this
You needed one more calculation for terminal velocity: at what height is it reached for a smartphone? (I realize Marc said 300 ft. but I assume he was guessing and this wasn't based on a calculation. If you're curious, solve the following non-linear differential equation: dv/dt = 1/lambda(v^2) - g), where lambda is the size of the smartphone and v is the drag. Integrate this to get the height that terminal velocity will be reached.)
Love your username 😁
Love your username 😁
Joanna: Enjoyed the video. Guess we all should know a good case always helps protect our phones. BTW, what type of drone was used in the video? Looks like some time of DJI? (I'm a drone guy...)
Fun. Unscientific of course.
How so
@@KAZAM707 The real phone that fell from the airplane landed in mud. Mud absorbs all the impact.
Joanna you’re the best, love the video 😂
I love Zoe Thomas❤, her voice's so amazing, like it
Man same , if I remember all the tech news briefing on covid was done by her !
When you see mark rober being summoned, you know they mean business 🤣
if the manufacturers make the phone heavier at the bottom half will it probably land on that half ? will it be enough to control the fall from 3 feet ?
Thanks Joanna, I'll be sure to do that.
Love your dry wit!
Theyre only doing it on grass and asphalt but not on sharp rocks or in other environments
I had dropped a Samsung S21 off a building while I was working on the roof. It was around 40ft and it landed on concrete. I had a Pelican case on it. It was completely fine except a small dent/crack in the back. Unfortunately it did damage the port where the sim card sat, so the sim card would periodically stop working. But because the screen was fine, I was able to get a full trade in value for it, so that was nice.
This is why I always get good cases lol
You dropped it on grass
thanks for making a video on mobiles falling out of the sky interesting
Dropped my pixel 7 pro from my pocket on to the garage concrete floor and toasted my screen, twice now in 6 months, some phones are just not built that well.
Well, we have come a long way from stationary phones and mobile cellular phones that were big as a brick with an antenna to a device thin and light that you can carry anytime, anywhere in your pocket with a reasonable level of durability; even more so with a case on it. I am still using an iPhone X with a Apple leather case on it and I have lost count the amount of times it’s dropped or flew off the bed onto the floor. Using a case and being a little conscious of the device goes a long way to reducing the chances of getting broken from accidental drops and saves you having to pay for Apple Care Plus.
iPhone & Samsung: Omg I am gonna fall from so much height
Nokia: First time?

i miss joana stern videos!! glad she decided to create new videos
This was awesome!
How can I subcribe more than once to this channel? WSJ is just crazy, coming up with some nice experiments I would have never imagine. Please ship the iphone to me. I will fix it and brag of owning iphone to your credit. Please.
Could have been a 10 second video with just the part at the end there.
Seriously dropping them on grass🤣💀
You're not serious
Which drone is this?
A new DJI drone
Joanna Stern makes great videos :)
a lot has to do with the surface the iPhone lands on
Incredible survival skills, iPhone! 👏
This still doesn't answer why that phone was so lucky to not break when your test with cases show cracks everywhere.
The actual article covers that
Jersey grass is not the right pedigree! (aside: Jamaican grass is far superior) I highly recommend phone drops into tree brushes, young freshly watered supple junipers, intertwined fern trees below a certain age.
Ms. Stern missed the perfect opportunity to say that this video was sponsored by otterbox.
Nice iPhone ad.😂😂😂
Iphones are out of innovation. So they are using drop test as their marketing
Don't destroy these expensive phones . Instead give those to me
Isn't this obvious? Terminal velocity.
Peak journalism amirite ?
Preparing news like a tiktoker
Only in a perfect scenario.
It’s nice to know that if I ever fall out of an airplane, my phone will likely survive.
Good one! My first smile today!
Why not s24 ultra
DJI FTW
Where is the comparison table? No scientific record?
0:35 there is only one thing to do... drop $1500 a piece phones so we can make a youtube video about it :P
I sense a lot of biased favor for the iPhone over the Samsung.
"Dracarys" instead of release!!
Convertible airplanes let’s go
The marketing of thing is always so smart than AI😂😂😂, always to be number one😂😂😂😂😷
yeah make the video when a phone hits the concrete. it hit the soil, not the concrete.
The question is why you u need to drop a phone from that kind height 😅
Cool
Oh I think she Really Wanted to Try the Dropping a Grenade from a drone.😂😂😂 But that's too controversial so "Dropping a iPhone will do" for making a new video
Mark Rober!
Lowkey Apple advertising
Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy
and empathy for our country. low income people
are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah.
You've helped my family with your advice. imagine
investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28
days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier
this year, and it is the best choice l've ever
made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost
a million, and I have realized that when a
stock makes it to the news. Chances are
you're quite late to the party, the idea is to
get in early on blue chips before it becomes
public. There are lots of life changing
opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
What opportunities are there in the market,
and how do l profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the
market regardless of whether it strengthens
or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.
I would really like to know how this actually
works.
All you need is a good capital, and the
service of a professional broker, with those
your investment will most certainly produce
high yields.
WSJ sponsors these types of videos now? 😅

if you dropped a nokia it wouldve made a hole in the ground and landed in china
why did i watch this
I am not getting case!!!!!! end of discussion
A collab or a cameo of Mark Rober
It isn't like Rhett Allain is an unknown either. He was science advisor on Mythbuster.
try a Huawei P60 Pro and you will know the real differences it made .....🤫
Its simple, it's called "Maximum velocity", where given the mass of an object, given a long enough time to free-fall, the object eventually reaches max-velocity where, its no longer accelerating or decelerating, the air resistance counters the gravity effect.
Spigen cases 🙌🏼
She was unhappy when she was kid😅😅😅😅😅
Get a mous case
Tecno people look away
Mark Rober !!!!!!!!!!!!
Only flaw in this test is the lawn does not matched density no moisture given the dry spots. You should test it on a golf course or somewhere where uniform irrigation and green lawn is.
Now go watch the movie called Terminal Velocity. I Just wasted 5 min of my life i will never ever get back. I knew the answer but its 6 am and i am bored.
Someone has been watching too many videos from Ukraine
If that 2T is stocks, if stock price is what ppl buys em for, so gamblers increased the price like bitcoint to 2t, is that the value of it? How much does it make? How much plants etc costs
Can I have the iPhone 15
how to get a phone post falling from airplane?
Why don't God design human this way?
You mean evolution? Mostly because we are spending 99% times on the ground.
Samsung supremacy
hey first viewer from Nepal
4:32 Androids suck

iPhones really at the end of their wits. How pathetic and lamentable of them!
The Apple's iPhone 15 technologies make the Huawei Puna 70 look like a *museum version.*
They are at least 5 years apart, even without Google AI on the former.
Apple uses the truth 3nm chip while the Kirin 9010 uses an *enhanced* 7nm. LOL
Best cases for phones: OtterBox
Best cases for MacBooks: UAG
Weird, even when I was in the Heart of Darkness in Mexico, I never had these problems.
Ask your pimp not to beat you with your phone.
If you declined by a job market for eight years and asked to use youtube to find all the local pieces of information technology and have no goverment support to reach subscribers number are you a falling Remigijus Žemaitaitis or Eduardas Vaitkus smartphone?
Are you views hungry?. Why destroy good phones.
Don't buy America product because you can now buy alternative technology Huawei technologies because Huawei technologies is entirely different system from America so if you don't want die your country than avoid usa technology because China can offer alternative technology that is entirely different system from America
Don’t ever, ever make another video like this… unless it’s a useless politician.
Yah.. NO! ❌
I broke two iPhones from a short drop on hard surfaces 😒
why? wsj advertising for apple, samsung, and that company which makes drone
📱Keep in mind the iphone 14 PRO is much more prone to damage because of the OLED vs LCD
Samsung uses cheap raw material while apple uses genuine parts.
Terminal velocity is a thing.
Making sensational articles about basic physics is pathetic.
Evolution vs food.
Food disproves evolution.
Every organism no matter how small either manufacturers or collects food or it would die very quickly.
Every organism identifies, ingests, digests, filters, stores, and excretes food.
It has to identify the difference between food or rock.
It must ingests food through a specialized opening designed to intake only food and nothing else.
The food itself is useless until it is digested, a complex multi-stage process all by itself.
If it cannot store the energy from the digested food at least temporarily it would die.
Then it must filter the waste products or die from internal toxicity.
And then excrete the waste products through an orifice specifically designed to excrete the waste and only the waste, the precious blood or cytoplasm must remain inside the body.
An Evolutionist wants you to believe that a life-form came together in the beginning with all of these features in place with no help and no time for natural selection... this would be the equivalent of a car capable of making another car inside of itself... because if it cannot reproduce it would be forever alone and die from old age.
God created life.

Man created God as a business opportunity and business has been good ever since.

Logic demands that only one religion can be valid.
God acknowledges the presence of imaginary deities. The first commandment is:
Exodus 20:3
"You shall have no other gods before me."
All religions have differing accounts of the origin of the universe, the nature of God, and what he has or has not said. Therefore, the law of non-contradiction is all that is necessary to understand that only one of them can be true.
Furthermore, God knows he gave logical minds to mankind.
So, he does not spend any effort trying to disprove things that every man already knows are logically impossible.
The tax free status is also a bonus. Logic has nothing to do with your sky Daddy, in fact logic must be completely suspended to even attempt to make it plausible, which it is clearly not.
premium quality from apple. Samsung is still sleeping on their quality and durability.
Basic physics.. time consuming stupid video. Expected whether the phones were still working would be tested.
Most ridiculous test ever
What a shame to get paid for such a trash work
Why do you say that?
