Look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_S6JaLvDck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_S6JaLvDck. It's a teardown of the Xperia 1 II. It shows how easy the audio jack can be removed there. The phone is certified as IP65/IP68.
The phone itself is glued, but the jack does not seem to be. It likely works with pressure and might have a gasket seal - which is not surprising if you look at how watches do it.
But I think you are right - they said something like that when the FP4 came out. But that phone is a matter of principle anyway. If it is possible to get the phone with an audio jack in a good state, but the certification process is broken, then they should not certify it (and publicly attack the certifier). The Sony phone shows it can be done on a technical level, which is what matters.
- Vinnl 3y agoI was indeed not talking about glueing the jack, but about the rest of the phone. Not doing that will presumably lower your rating, and then adding a jack would lower it even more - and I'm guessing that would lower it beneath the water-resistant certification threshold.
