@davidgerard “uhm but David here’s 2 (two) videos of me dunking my phone into a small bowl of drinking water, no I won’t engage with you about how the point is that it killed the phone”

@davidgerard I really take issue with Apple messaging on this, which is « hey, it’s probably fine whatever, but if that breaks that’s on you » as it touts a IP68 resistance which signals that it’s ok as long as you don’t leave it underwater too long

Isn't that just the message to users for everything now with AI? 😛

I would argue at this point that 'knowing one thing' is debatable.

@davidgerard The page also says "maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes" and I have to wonder how this is in any way compatible with "do not intentionally submerge your phone in water".

@elronxenu i'd like to see what happens when you claim it under warranty

(but not to any phone of mine)

@davidgerard Just tell them it fell into the water and then claim it should have been ok due to IP68.

@elronxenu you first

@elronxenu @davidgerard This is basically the rating right after sale. Sealing will degrade over time and with stress. Heat-cycle it (charging) for a few months, drop it a couple of times, and, well, it's *probably* still fine, but no guarantees anymore. Applying extreme heat, like you would do when disassembling the glued parts, certainly will not help either.

@henryk @elronxenu yeah it's ip68*

@henryk @elronxenu @davidgerard leaving it in the sun for a couple hour will also put significant stress on it

@gkrnours @henryk @elronxenu very much rated ip68*

@elronxenu @davidgerard Seems to depend on the model (which we don't know) but also "Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear", so I think they are saying it might survive but please don't try it...

@davidgerard who cares if it's waterproof, just what kind of thought process is this
