I'm not sure I would call the water from the video "fresh"...

  but certainly less conductive in terms of total dissolved salts than the ocean. I meant "fresh" water in the sense of, not ocean water, not something you'd want to drink :) https://www.lenntech.com/applications/ultrapure/conductivity/water-conductivity.htm https://www.lenntech.com/applications/ultrapure/conductivity...

    The phone is IP68, so I would think the conductivity of the water is not a major concern unless there is some mechanical damage that impacts the waterproofing

      The lightning or USB-c connector on a phone has voltage present, and exposed copper like that plus salt water surely isn't a good combination. Without making an ip68 rated twist lock huge charger connector I don't see how the port itself can be waterproofed.

        The IP68 rating applies to the entire device, it doesn't exclude the charging port. These connectors are well-protected against complete shorts (e.g. people sticking a piece of metal into the port). Both Lightning and USB-C have protocol negotiation at low-voltage/low-current before any meaningful current will be delivered by either side.
