for reference, this is actual footage from a phone falling off a building... as you can see, its tumbling, which is what a phone would do in free fall... and no way its hitting 100MPH terminal velocity, no matter how far up it was dropped, wind resistance of something with the surface area of a smart phone and weighing around 1/2 a lbs isn’t going to get anywhere near 100 MPH
