1.28sqm projected surface area? That's a very a big iphone.


>a very a big iphone.

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.


Exactly one iphone had a mass that low, 5s. None of them have >1m^2 surface area.


That's assuming the phone will fall while facing down with it's largest surface.


9mph? Always carry an iPhone while on an airplane ...
