Good! Water Resistance has always been such a scammy feature, pushed by manufacturers. “Your phone IS water resistant, but if it breaks, we won't fix it” https://www.macrumors.com/...

Finally, someone does something about this. Launching an advertising campaign with phones under water, saying it's water resistant and then refusing to provide service when the phone is water damaged is nonsensical and outright lying to consumers. https://www.macrumors.com/...
