I'm with you, all youtube videos are untrusted, especially when used to prove an internet talking point. All videos and photos are capable of being manipulated in some way shape or form and that should be the stance of MR posters going forward.

Yep, thanks for clarifying. It's tough to differentiate whose garbage belongs to who, when you're in a garbage dump.
I'm not sure how that could work inside a sealed phone.
It is a singer called Sia. Don't feel bad, I had to call my daughter and ask the same question.
Here she is at the Grammies.
Why shouldn't they?
If it's water resistant, they can claim it's water resistant.
You do know the differences between water resistant, water proof etc, right?
Why is it every thread starts out with a bash of some sort?
Please tell us how water restiance or even water proofing to an official standard isn't and advancement?
How is it quality Bluetooth buds with a new chip and logic that is easy to connect isn't an advancement?
The coming new iDevice screens aren't an advancement?
The faster Watch this year isn't an advancement?
...
Bashers get really tiresome, so why don't they quit giving us the quick gimmick comment and make some advancement comments?

What kind of pipeline? The drains? Cause that's the only pipeline i can think at the moment.
You do know the difference, and yet want it explained to you?Sure, but feel free to explain it to me... auf Deutsch
In german?
How odd.
Oh no, they're going to remove the charging port. IPhone sales are down, to boost sales this new model will be a throw away phone. When the battery is depleted, you simply replace the phone.
Oh cool, lazy racism on a thread about water resistant smart phones.
Directed at someone you don't know - who isn't even German.
Well done.
Class.
I don't think you know what racism means. Also, I'm part German... so yeah, there's that.
Regardless, I'll let this go because you obviously didn't pick up on the sarcasm of my first reply and we've now derailed this post. Enjoy the rest of your weekend in .DE, amigo!
Pointing finger to someone else doesn't make it ok. That only means that now instead of one there are two bending the fine print to meet their agenda.
After reading some of the comments on here I feel the need to state the obvious, water resistant does NOT mean waterproof! Water resistant is exactly what it says, its resistant to water, so if your out in the rain your fine, however it's not a very good idea to submerge your iPhone in water fully. It's not Apple's fault or their responsibility if you decide to submerge your iPhone in water!
It points to an trend in the industry. And as others have noted, with the one exception being the active, all manufacturers seem to have the same warranty policy.
It can be submerged as stated in by the rating in depth of 0.15 to 1.0 meters for 30 minutes or less and should be fine (at least when it's still brand new and has not been used in extreme environments). But many units fail a glass of water test.

Does not make it good or right policy.
That is a different discussion. Increasing water resistance benefits the customers and the manufacturers as it reduces water damage and costs associated with replacing water damaged phones. I still will not go swimming with my phones as they are not waterproof.
I don't see it as a lack of honesty, water resistance does not equal water proof and there is no way of determining if water ingress was due to abuse.
