It is no secret people love their iPhones. They especially like taking them everywhere and whipping them out constantly, which is probably why so many end up being damaged in bizarre ways.
After noticing that one in five iPhone users have filed a claim for damage to their smart phone during the past 12 months, an insurance firm decided to compile lists of the most frequent and bizarre filings.
Topping the odd-claims list are two cases of plummeting iPhones (suggesting Apple should think about installing a mini-parachute in its next model). One was accidentally dropped from a hot air balloon and another was 'lost" while sky diving.
Also on the list are iPhones that were broken while being used as a table tennis racket, buried on the beach or in the garden, fell into a boiling tea kettle or chewed by a hungry dog.
The altogether-more-mundane list of the most common iPhone claims, from Protect Your Bubble, includes the handset being pinched while texting, falling off a car roof and being dropped into a toilet. (We've all been there.)
As for the guy who claimed he slipped and dropped his shiny new iPhone into a blender, you don't think it was this guy, do you?
Keep reading for the complete lists.
