As long as they can engineer a water resistant phone with these guidelines I’m all for it.

I have think really really hard to find an event in the last 14years where I would have needed a water resistant phone. It doesn’t need to be IP67

I personally have been bringing my phone in the shower for years. It also gives me peace of mind when I’m doing outdoor activities around water.
I remember once I had my phone in my pocket at a party before they were water resistant and I got knocked into the pool. Would have been all set if that phone had water resistance.

They have in the past and then they decided, no, let’s say it’s too difficult and use it as one of the excuses to guarantee limited lifetime of a product.

It’s still a thing. Samsung has one.
