iPhone Survival 2.0

If you have an iPhone you know how amazing they are and how addicted you can become to their awesomeness, and this isn’t more evident that when you experience a near death experience or a death experience of your iPhone. 

Three months ago I dropped my iPhone on the concrete and the screen was completely crushed.  It was a sad, sad day!  After gracious permission and understanding from my wife, I got another one.  On Easter Sunday Jenna and I were leaving for church in a hurry and so we left our home and pulled out onto a busy road in Charlotte and I heard a ‘THUMP’ on the side of the car.  My immediate reaction was:  I either hit a dog OR that was my iPhone.  Honestly, I wished that it were a dog BUT no it was definitely my iPhone.  I looked over my shoulder and saw dozens of cars flying by and so I did a quick u-turn and went back to find my iPhone.  There it was, in all of its glory lying facedown on the road and with a near death crush by a car turning I jumped out of the car, picked up my iPhone expecting it to be crushed — AGAIN — but NO it was alive with only a few scatches!  WOW!!  This amazed me!  

I am thankful because now I dont have to get a Blackberry or some other stupid phone.  

What is your iPhone survival story?
