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

  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.

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

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