Video: The first person to get his hands on an iPhone 6 in Perth immediately dropped it on live television

It’s just a little dirty, it’s still good, it’s still good…

It’s just a little dirty, it’s still good, it’s still good…

Such has been the hype and the hoopla over the iPhone 6 that we imagine that those lucky enough to get their hands on one of the first models will be practically wrapping it in cotton wool for weeks and months afterwards fear that it might pick up even the tiniest of scratches.

The first person to get a hold of Apple’s new toy in Perth, however, had it in his hands for about 10 seconds before dropping it. In front of loads of people. On live television. Ouch.

Thankfully for the man known only as Jack – who appeared so excited he could barely stop his hands from shaking – the phone still seemed to be intact when he picked it up and instead of his worst nightmare manifesting itself, he now only has to suffer mild embarrassment in front of a worldwide audience as everyone gets wind of a clip that is likely to go super viral over the next couple of days.

Phew!
