There is a "what conditions can an iPhone withstand" video that blew all others out of the water - or from the edge of outer space, in this case.



An iPhone 6, in a protective case, fell 100,000 feet through the stratosphere in sub-zero temperatures at a speed of up to 70 miles per hour.



California-based company Urban Armor Gear created the video to show the effectiveness of its military-standard iPhone cases.



It worked. The GoPro camera gear was destroyed but the iPhone didn't have a scratch on it.
