If things like table or waist height count as drops.... um.... hundreds of times? Is that not normal for something we're handling 100s of times a day for multiple years? They're designed for this, especially if you throw on even a $10 cheapo case haven't had any damage beyond scratching a screen or chipping the camera cover glass on a Xs in over a decade (I did shatter the screen of my brand new 6s+ the second day I had it in September 2015 -- hadn't found a case for it yet)
I have a 15 Pro that has been dropped or knocked off a table well over 50 times. I have always had a relatively lightweight case on it as well as a glass screen protector. I have probably replaced the screen protector 3 times due to cracks from drops. Despite the drops, because of the case and screen, my phone still looks in immaculate condition when it is bare. With that being said, I always have a case and screen protector on it.
Lost count…
No case, and yet the 13 Mini is quite OK. Mostly just tiny cosmetic dings and scratches on the edges and corners.
The worst was when it fell on some rocks by the sea during a holiday in Sardinia and the impact shattered the screen protector. Complete spiders web.

I drop my 15 Pro Max (and my 12 Pro before it) on a pretty regular basis. Falls out of my shorts pocket onto hardwood, parking lot, or somewhere about once a day. Usually from waist height, sometimes chair height.
No case, no protector, no damage.

I dropped my 17 Pro on rugged asphalt and it dented my TechWoven case.
One drop from knee height, bent to tie shoe lace and phone (17PM) slipped from shirt pocket into pebbles and concrete. No case, dented my phone and scratched the screen.
Replaced to a new phone with out of warranty cost.
credit card insurance covered the cost with $50 excess.

I usually drop my iPhone about twice a week, not deliberately but it takes a tumble fairly regularly. Had the iPhone 14 months, so around 120 times I am guessing...
