The first person to purchase a brand new iPhone 6 in Perth, Australia accidentally drops it onto the sidewalk just outside the Apple Store.

Early adopter Jack Cooksey was being interviewed outside Perth's Apple Store by a morning television reporter, eager to show the world one of the first of the new iPhones in the wild. But such was his excitement, he opened the box a little too vigorously, and the costly device slipped out and onto the pavement.

Wow I literally would've been frozen as ice

With his more-than-5-million-YouTube watchers, this little handsome boy can ask Apple store for giving him a new one to replace the loosing-face scratched iPhone 6, because Apple Inc. doesn't warn a user to be careful when opening the box. Legally this works. Good Luck little Ausi !!!

LMAO! To funny

JoeDredd - September 19, 2014 at 10:18am

How weird - I was thinking earlier that it would generate loads of interest if someone were to "accidentally" drop their iPhone in front of the media on launch day as to my knowledge that hadn't happened before. I don't see that this poor chap had any particular motive or plan to do this though.

Why apple haters are here?? Any reason? Please dont give bullsh*t answer.

dk2013 - September 19, 2014 at 9:38am

(1) lack of girlfriends. (2) boredom. (3) immaturity. You're welcome.

Nicko - September 19, 2014 at 12:51pm

4. envy (okay jealousy).

Umer - September 20, 2014 at 5:21am

(5) inferiority complex when not using apple

Poor guy

lepaka - September 19, 2014 at 6:06am

it felt down with the inner plastic layer. only after hitting the flood came out of it and kissed the floor :) hI hope that Apple see this video, they have to improve the package to avoid missuse casualities.

StewartG - September 19, 2014 at 5:38am

It was t too deep obviously. His new phone was still good. Otherwise he would've been kissed but it was alright. Good for him.

StewartG - September 19, 2014 at 5:39am

Wasn't too deep and pissed not kissed.

Mike Power - September 19, 2014 at 5:35am

gamerscul9870 - September 19, 2014 at 6:58pm

That's the only thing iphone can handle in accidents.
