@pirpurian @Surasanji Most phones in light rain * should * be fine, but there's no guarantee it won't die due to water damage.
@realcaseyrollins @pirpurian@spinster.xyz even phones with IP ratings don't warranty vs water damages
It's really more of a marketing thing.
@Surasanji @pirpurian Isn't that because if you have a phone with IP68 resistance, like my phone, gets tossed into a 15 foot pool, the water damage is my fault? At least I reliably know the level of the water resistance.
This is also why I plan on always buying cheap phones, BTW. If it dies I can easily get another one.

@realcaseyrollins @pirpurian@spinster.xyz It's still something they put on the box as marketing wank.
Even if your phone had a manufacturing defect vs water, and didn't actually have the IP68 rating (due to this defect) they won't cover water damages.
