    I have think really really hard to find an event in the last 14years where I would have needed a water resistant phone. It doesn’t need to be IP67

      It’s not that you need it. It’s just that you’ll thank yourself if you drop it in water or if you wanna use it in certain weather

        I don’t say I would need it, but that’s not an excuse to not have replaceable battery. A so called waterproof sticker is $0.05. So, it could be sold with the new battery.

      I personally have been bringing my phone in the shower for years. It also gives me peace of mind when I’m doing outdoor activities around water.

      I remember once I had my phone in my pocket at a party before they were water resistant and I got knocked into the pool. Would have been all set if that phone had water resistance.

        total valide use case. (hem!)

        In my mind, in a shower, I use both hands and it doesn’t take more than 5min.

          Yeah generally I just finish what I was reading while I let the water warm me up. Then put my phone down and wash up. I suppose I only do this because the phone is water resistant, versus buying a water resistant phone because I need to bring it in the shower.
