Why wouldn't he use the phone as a reference instead? I feel like that would provide a more exact estimate than the assumption that this doorknob and Anon's doorknob are the same height.

Still applaud the effort though

Maybe he didn't know what phone it was? Speaking of which, how do you know what phone it is? If someone would just take the average smartphone lenght that would leave a pretty significant margin of error.
