No screen crack is pretty good though. Smartphone screens have gotten crazy good recently
I was thinking exactly the same about the landing. If it lands in a soft place, like tall grass, most phones should be fine. Most phones are broken by falling onto hard surfaces.
It looks like it has an intact screen protector. The impact does not appear to be that strong.
Of course that assumes it’s falling facing its largest surface, and not tumbling or a falling edge first. Obviously that is trickier to calculate, but 20-40mph doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
Edit: it takes ~3 seconds to reach 99% terminal velocity.
That was what I was thinking: surely it wouldn't be stable falling face-first? Wouldn't it be more likely to either tumble or settle on an edge?
There's also the possibility that it behaves more like an airfoil, and starts generating lift once it's going fast enough.

putting mildly, still it's lovely to see the mix the input of imperial and metric units.
the 'fluid' density is quite wrong as well. 1.29 kg/m^3 -> almost 777 times lighter than water, it's similar to air. By its dimension iphone 15 should be around twice heavier than water.
