I bought iPhone 11 when it came out, never wear a case and dropped it numerous times. It still works fine, with the original screen intact(not counting some scratches).

It survived even flying from an e-scooter after I’ve hit a bump on 15 km/h and sliding couple meters on asphalt afterwards.

And after all that it still had no problem when I dived into the pool with it and shot how I’m riding on a water slide.

Maybe I’m just lucky but it feels like you are exaggerating iPhone fragility. They’ve improved a lot recently.

Perhaps we were unlucky. Fyi: the standard iPhone warranty does not cover water damage (and it was just a spill, not submerged). Found out the hard way.
