Premium- A Ukrainian soldier's life was saved by his iPhone. Read to know how
A viral video showed how an iPhone saved a soldier's life by a whisker in war-torn Ukraine. The video was shared on Reddit. The video shows a Ukrainian soldier taking out his iPhone from his backpack.
The video shows the damaged phone with a bullet stuck inside. No more details were shared on the clip which has now gone viral.
The viral video is among numerous such instances that have emerged since the war started between Russia and Ukraine.
Several users reacted to the video. One jokingly said, "How bad that he didn't apply a screen protector at his phone."
Another said, "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away!"
"It's still impressive that the round didn't penetrate the iPhone case. It just deformed it," one said.
A similar incident was reported in Ukraine back in April 2022. The Ukrainian soldier was shot at by Russian troops but he survived as his iPhone took all the damage.
In the viral video, the soldier showed his iPhone which had a bullet stuck on it. He says: "...smartphone saved my life".
Russian forces have conducted more than 17,000 strikes on civilian targets during the war, killing thousands of fighters and civilians and driving millions from their homes.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has also rippled through the world economy, hiking energy and food prices and crimping exports of key Ukrainian and Russian products such as grain, fuel and fertilizer.
Recently, Russian missiles hit industrial facilities at a strategic city in southern Ukraine Sunday as Moscow continued efforts to expand its gains in the country's east.
