headphone jack reduces water proof/resistance ability or so I heard.

  There are waterproof jacks. If this was a real issue then they should also remove USB and side buttons and force everyone to use wireless charging.

    Pretty sure Apple is on it already.

        They cancelled one version they couldn’t get to work as they imagined it should have been working. MagSafe is available and working https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHXH3AM/A/magsafe-charger https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHXH3AM/A/magsafe-charger

      When air charging is optimized/perfected charging port will be the next to go

      Apple and Samsung had waterproof headphone and charging jacks before.

  It probably does. Then again, I accidentally tossed my phone in the laundry a few years back and it somehow managed to survive. While it is no longer in daily use, I still keep that decade old device around as a backup and it has outlived several phones since then. Something tells me that the vast majority of phones fail for reasons other than water seeping in through the headphone jack.

  I wash my phone's regularly. Lol kind of need to if you drop it in a fresh cow poo which I've definitely done hopping over fences. Xiaomi phones have had good water resistance for ages. Hell I don't even turn it off. But then again I wash lots of electronics. It's generally fine as long as stuffs not got any active or residual power.

  to make it waferproof, you just fill it with some grease
