APPLE fans around the world are now experiencing the shuddering joy of running their mitts all over a shiny new iPhone 7.

But while many people might think it’s a good idea to swaddle the gizmo in a nice safe case and treat it like a newborn baby, not every tech lover thinks the same way.

One brave vlogger decided that his iPhone didn’t need all that mollycoddling.

Tech Rax, a Ukrainian who “specialises in smashing technology for your pleasure”, lobbed his gadget off the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai – which is the tallest building in the world and stretches to a height of 2,700 feet.

In his video, the vlogger said: “I’m going to go the 148th floor and frickin’ drop test the iPhone 7 Plus.

“Security is 24/7 and I may not find this phone at all.” More info
