Australia's first iPhone 6 gets unceremoniously dropped on its head on TV
AUSTRALIA'S FIRST iPhone 6 sold was dropped on the floor during a television interview.
The first phone sold in Perth was bought by a young man who presumably had little on-camera time and damp palms.
Thrust into the spotlight for his 15 minutes of infamy he was compelled to open his box and let the viewing public bask in the glory of an expensive new mobile phone.
He might have been nervous, he might have been in some sort of rapture about the Apple handset, or he might have been shot with a tiny Tazer. Whichever it was, and we suspect it was the former, his butterfingers slipped on the phone, which disconnected from his mitts and tried to port itself with the floor.
You can imagine the crowd's response, in fact you can see and hear it. It is a mix of shock and schadenfreude. The presenter, who was the catalyst for this iTrajedy, seemed to find the whole thing so amusing that she almost looked ready to hurl herself to the floor.
Jack, the shaky-handed young man, claimed that the phone was okay but shot a concerned look at his hardware and traced a concerned finger across its screen.
According to the video report he had slept outside in order to be the first person to buy the iPhone. People are doing that all over the world, of course, as they always do.
Usually they are queuing to get some attention, either for themselves or for a charity. Often they are queuing in order to sell or tear apart the phone. Very rarely do they queue to go on live television and break a multi-hundred pound gadget. µ
