I have a phone from 3 years ago with both an IP68 rating and a headphone jack. There's zero reason that Apple couldn't do the same, they just wanted to convince a lot of people to buy $150 headphones.
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoMy Galaxy S5 is IP67, has headphone jack and user replaceable battery. 8 years old. If it was possible then it's possible now.
- nomel 4y agoIP67 is "up to" 1m. IP68, on the iPhone12, is 6m. That's a very significant difference.
- eptcyka 4y agoS10 had a jack and an IP68 rating.
- nomel 4y agoSure, but not a battery cover.
- CRConrad 4y agoSo why did you reply to that specific post, and not its parent?
- nomel 4y agoThe first comment was comparable in performance (IP68), but the one I replied to, with the battery cover, was not (IP67). The point of my comment was to point out that they are not comparable. The purpose of my comment was to hint that the features from the IP67 may contribute to them being IP67 (battery cover in this case).
- CRConrad 4y agoStill felt quite a bit like weaseling out from answering the stronger claim.
- nomel 4y agoI think the problem is that you included feelings in something that was clearly technical. The comparison they were making was 1/6th the spec. It was a technically inappropriate comparison. It could only support the claim that these features were removed to increase water resistance. The comment I made doesn't require that I push, or be for against, some higher narrative that you seem to see me as having in my head. It's perfectly valid to criticize the technical merits of an individual comment. If you see that as weaselly, then tribalism has infected your mind.
