Probably because it's water resistant not water proof. You can't put it 50m under water for a few days and then complain it's damaged. I guess if they are saying it's water resistant they have tested pretty extensively and can guarantee that under the conditions they say it will not get damaged. Not great that the customer has to place their trust in the company regarding that though.
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoThat's precisely why it's spec ip67. It allows them to have their phone independently verified while still leaving the customer on the hook for damage. Yes, it's unfortunate that if its damages under 50m it's your word versus their word.
- developer2 10y agoAll I really care about is rain. It's the only reason I am concerned with getting drenched in a rainstorm as an adult. The contents of my wallet will survive, but I am worried about relaxing and walking at a slow pace in a thunderstorm that soaks me through and through - all because of my phone. A water resistant rating that indicates I should be fine walking home slowly and enjoying getting drenched, instead of speed walking to save my electronic device, is all I am asking for. If the risk of destroying my phone because I like to stroll through the rain just dropped to < 0.1%, that is good enough for me.
