If you get your hands on an iPhone 6 today, make sure you hold on to it .... tight! A young man in Australia learned the hard way.

Jack Cooksey camped out in front of an Apple store in Perth and was the first to buy the new iPhone 6. When he opened the box for the big reveal on a local TV station, gravity took over. The brand new phone fell out of its box and hit the ground on live TV.
