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.

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 ?

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.

But they don't make phoneproof water.
