Only problem was that the charging cord had broken off leaving the end
of the Lightning cord in the phone.

Updrafts definitely help.
Even a pebble of hail the size of a BB survives a fall from the sky.

The reason is that the height it falls isn't what actually matters.
What matters only is the final velocity (usually terminal) & surface.

If people speak of the height - they don't understand what happened.
It's clickbait for those who think the distance matters the most.

Humans have survived falling 6 miles (taller than Mount Everest is).
https://www.statista.com/chart/19708/known-occasions-where-people-survived-falls/

The reason any phone could survive that fall is the terminal velocity is
what matters in calm air (updrafts will help though) & what it fell onto.

The terminal velocity of a phone is about 40 mph (but it varies greatly).

Landing atop a big bush in six feet of reasonably packed new snow helped.

My guess is this comes from people who have set their newsreaders to
hide Read messages. They probably didn't read the original thread I
created and then all messages were marked Read. Later when they
noticed the news story somewhere else they posted here too.
