I've had smart phones for over a decade, and a mobile phone for 2, I can't think of any point when I've needed water resistance.
I have however had a smashed screen once, and the bigger a phone is, the harder it is to hold, the more likely the screen will smash
The old macbooks were great with the maglock power lead not pulling them off the desk. I believe new ones have downgraded the connector?
- ianai 7y agoNew ones just charge over usb-c.

I have been using this Magnetic USB C Adapter and am very happy with it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0816PV1YZ/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0816PV1YZ/
- ThePowerOfFuet 7y agoBe careful with that; during disconnection of the magnetic part, the pins carrying 20 V on the cable can make momentary connections with other pins on the portion of the connector remaining in the machine; if this happens, the port may never work again (for charging, or for anything else). The risk is probably not worth it.
- mikestew 7y agoI can't think of any point when I've needed water resistance. Then it's not for you. But given that phone manufacturers go to the expense of putting water-sensing strips inside phones, someone is going to put that water resistance to use.
