Apple's iOS devices and indeed its Macs have tended to fare relatively well in the world of security, not finding themselves on the wrong end of too many major incidents.

It's always hurtful to lose an iPhone; they're expensive, and they carry a lot of our personal data.

We have all suffered that anger inducing moment of inadvertently letting go of our smartphone and watching in horror as it crashes to the ground. The whole event usually lasts for a second or two, but feels like an eternity as we wait to see if the fall has caused the dreaded destruction of that beautiful multi-touch display. Imagine the exact same situation, but being forty stories up and watching as your beloved iPhone hurtles toward the ground below it. Oh, and it records the whole stressful event on its way down, too. That's exactly what has happened to Catalin Marin in Dubai.
