  I would consider that anti-fragile, actually. Cracked front or back glass is limited to a visual defect most of the time, hence why so many people continue to use it. In comparison, something like an old iPod with a spinning HDD could have a storage failure from a fall. That modern phones, not just iPhones, are these completely solid devices, packed to the brim, with no more moving pieces makes them surprisingly resilient. They're even water and dust resistant now just as a standard. Dropping your phone in water was a death sentence a decade ago - it's whatever now.

    That is robustness. A robust thing can endure many stressors, but the stressors either leave it as is or make it worse. Antifragile systems can get better from being stressed, at least to a limit. Muscles are antifragile, as one example. You stress them moderately, and you grow stronger. Stress them too much and you'll break, but within limits your muscles don't just endure the stress, they improve from it. No physical phone is antifragile.
