  Phones are designed for idiots to use in idiotic situations. They literally build them so idiots can take them in the bath.

    idk, I’ve fixed a lot of phones that people take into baths or showers. constant exposure will wear down the seals and there’s a reason they’re water resistant not waterproof. plus if you’ve ever had any repair done even by an authorized provider that water resistance goes out the window.

      authorized provider

      It’s sad that this is even a phrase.

        totally agree, I just mention it cause a lot of people put a lot more worth on it then they should. ime shops that advertise being authorized are more scummy then the average 3rd party repair shop.

      Ultimately, nothing is waterproof; everything leaks.

    With things like rain, deserts and humidity existing, any phone should be IP64 at least, so it’s paranoid to expect it to fail near a bath. Meanwhile many modern phones are IP67, meaning you can literally put them under water.

    So who’s the idiot here, the person using a device within its specifications so they can have more fun, or someone still stuck in the 00s ?

      Hey, old habits die hard. Back in my day if you sneezed on a phone it would die, a sticker would turn pink, and you were out 600 bucks! IDK if I’ll ever take my (IP67?) rated phone in the water with me.

      My grandson has taken multiple of my phones for a bath, they all said waterproof. Guess why I said multiple phones. Well, some he broke by smashing them.

      Fun times!

      Problem with the waterproof rating with phones is they heat up, or overheat, one day and bam, no more waterproofing. I definitely wouldn’t recommend pushing it.

    I don’t know who you’re calling an idiot back in the early 2000s I had a phone that died because it got rained on. Not even a lot of rain.

    Waterproofing is necessary just generally. Even if you assume it’s never going to get dropped in a puddle it needs to be splash proof at least.
