"Now try it with an iMac Pro." —Reddit commenter
Everyone has those off-days where you just can't seem to get anything done without messing up:
Maybe you spill your coffee on yourself on your way to work. Maybe you accidentally forgot to wear clean underwear. Maybe you drop your AirPods down a 21-story elevator shaft, which is exactly what happened to Reddit user XxAuthenticxX.
If anyone is looking for the ultimate AirPod drop test result look no further! The horror I felt as I watched my right AirPod roll into the crack of the elevator on the 19th floor is something I have never felt from dropping an electronic before. (XxAuthenticxX)
While all hope seemed lost at first (along with XxAuthenticxX's AirPod's…) two helpful maintenance men quickly swooped in and came to the rescue.
And — believe it or not — the AirPods survived the plunge.
We found [them] at the bottom of the shaft on the concrete floor. I've been testing the sound against the left one and they work perfectly fine! (XxAuthenticxX)
Oh, and incase you were like "PICZ OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!1!":
Welp. Now we know how rugged these things are. Thanks, Apple!
Has your tech ever died from a fall?
Are you someone who's notorious for cracking iPhone screens or destroying computers (accidentally, of course…) or are you someone who's SUPER careful with their tech?
