WATCH: First person to buy an iPhone 6 immediately drops it

TORONTO – Thousands of Apple fans around the world camped out overnight to be one of the first to get their hands on Apple’s newest smartphones – the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

So you could imagine the rush of excitement Perth, Australia resident Jack Cooksey felt when he was asked to unbox his brand new iPhone 6 on live TV.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

“Luckily it’s covered in plastic, so its fine,” Cooksey said over the collective gasps from the crowd.
