Michael Koppelman an iPhone developer and model rocket enthusiast, decided that it would be a good idea to launch his iPhone into the air in a rocket.

Amazingly the iPhone survived, it even had it’s very own parachute to make sure it landed safely back on Earth.

Here’s a video of the rocket in action, and an interview with Michael.
