@adron @bbdd333 @rberger I suspect the phone was likely spinning at a very high rate of speed, which would have slowed it down. Anyone want to wind tunnel test a phone to confirm this? ;)

I accidentally dropped a water bottle off a TV tower from about 2000' once and was able to watch it fall a while, it spun up to a blur before slowing and curving back to hit the tower. The sound of its impact was conducted up the tower and I pretty much immediately heard the thump. It was weird.
