Oddly the most practical use for this is as an interstellar weapon. You don't need to solve the problem of communicating back to Earth, you just need a little terminal guidance.

If an iPhone weighs 100 g and we use a non-relativistic formula for energy at 1/4c, that is 2.8 x 10^14 joules, a ton of TNT equivalent is about 4.1 x 10^9 joules, so that is a cool 70kT -- The impact velocity would be high enough to break the Columb barrier as well, so you might get a nuclear boost to the yield as well.
