There are only a limited amount of physical states possible in a given volume and given an infinite amount of time and space, all of them will happen an infinite amount of times.

While it is technically possible for that to happen, the probability of the intricacies that make up the iphone's circuits and screen, the chemicals that make up the battery, etc, assembling themselves into a complete and working phone, even on an infinite timeline, is not that high. And it could, in theory, never actually happen, since if there is still time that you can move forward into, there's still the chance that the moment the iphone assembles itself into a working phone lies somewhere in the future, and always will. It could just never happen before the heat death of the universe.
Possibility does not guarantee probability.
that all but guarantees that it would never happen imo... and also shows that we have no clue how the universe actually works, and likely never will
"Infinity" is not the same thing as a "really long time". You can't use ordinary conceptions of probabilities on infinite time scales. If you wait a Graham's number of years, you still haven't even started a small fraction on the way to infinity.
