Sis, that isn't 40ft, that's 40 STORIES, aka 500ft
This just proves yet again that physics play a massive role in the physical strength of cell phones and "drop tests" are absolutely useless. Just because an iPhone screens cracks at a 3ft drop doesn't mean it's weak and just because a Galaxy survives a 100ft drop doesn't mean it's strong.
Drop Tests etc are literally the most stupidest tests ever done and people keep doing them.
Nothing falls the same way twice. There are have been people who have dropped GoPro cameras off desks and they have broken and then there was the GoPro that survived falling from an airplane and filmed the entire thing.
If a device falls perfectly flat, the structure can still survive. My laptop fell out of my Backpack while I was walking and broke after hitting on the corner. My Macbook fell out off my friends deck (3rd floor) and still worked after flipping once and fell on it's back. It was the White Macbook as well. There was just some minor cosmetic cracking.

Um.. most people are going to be dropping their phones 3 ft not from hundreds of stories so it really doesn't matter if a phone can survive the latter if it still cracks when falling 3 ft.

But a phone won't always drop at 3ft. That's the point.
No ones saying that phones will always break at 3ft but are more resistant at 500ft.
