The phone was located on the Find My app and everyone was extremely surprised that the phone was still on and running. It was found on a beach and in an almost intact condition.
“I had faith that I would recover it. I thought, ‘If it didn’t fall in the water, we’ll find it. For a few meters I could have hit a person — and, at that height I was flying, 2,000 feet, it was going to be a tragedy, can you imagine? But it wasn’t a tragedy, it had many emotions,” Galiotto was quoted by G1 as saying.

The phone had a few scratches and was in a transparent silicone cover with regular screen protector on. The screen protector suffered the most during the fall.
We have to admit, that’s one tough phone, and one lucky guy!
