Do you have any idea how hard it is to waterproof electronics? Not only do you need to keep water out of the device, but you also need to make sure that it can't collect anywhere and corrode away parts. There's a reason that hardened waterproof electronics are the way they are: big and heavy.
On the weekends, I go fly fishing. Full waders and everything. And I take my phone with me. In a plastic sandwich bag, which has kept the phone completely dry even after I accidentally submerged my bag. I could invest in a case if my phone spent more time in the water, but I don't feel the need to.
So yes, I understand your entire point, and yes, it IS pretty much down to wanting a pony.

- SnowLprd 14y agoYes, and if a significantly large portion of the market was clamoring for a waterproof smartphone, Apple probably would make one.
