Well terminal velocity probably isn’t horrible, given it was probably tumbling and the size of an iphone, my bet is its terminal velocity is about 30 MPH.. havent run the math, but that would be my guess that it would be around that.

So provided it landed on grass or other soft surface, and depending the angle it hit, the fact it survived the fall while impressive, isn’t really miraculous.

“...terminal velocity is about 30 MPH”

But they ALWAYS land on the screen. Just like buttered toast hitting the floor.

I’d guess closer to 100 MPH, though. Still an amazing testament to Apple engineering.
