My iPhone saved my wife and me on February 10, 2012. We were hiking in the Blue Mountains outside Sydney, Australia when lightning hit a railing we were holding. Thousands of volts of electricity paralyzed us for I don't know how long. We fell and couldn't move. For a few minutes we lost our hearing from the loud thunder blast. Right after the lightning hit, rain poured and rocks, tree limbs, debris fell on us. Long story short, my wife almost severed a hand, I broke an ankle and was scalped from some heavy object that must have fallen on my head. We were both bleeding. I found my iPhone sticking out of the mud, its screen shattered. I dialed triple 0 and the call went thru! About a dozen EMT folks eventually came. My wife, nearing hypothermia, was helicoptered out. I was coaxed to walk up 600 steps to street level where a TV crew filmed me being put in an ambulance. So we were on TV and the newspapers.

One surgery for me and three for my wife later, we were saved.

To cap this survival story, I walked in an Apple Store to get my phone replaced. The Apple employee, seeing me on crutches and my left leg in a cast  asked. 'So what's your story?' While I told him. I got my credit card out for the $260 cost of replacement, He said, 'Put it away. I've heard enough. It's on us.'

So thanks, iPhone. And thanks, Apple!

You're misusing the word 'shutters'.

Article says 'watch' and 'video'. Where the heck is the video?
