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.

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 !!!

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.

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.
