They make waterproof iPhones now?

Recently saw a very small splash of water on a friends pants, kill her new Iphone!!! S mall spill, not much of a wet spot on her jeans!

Immediately removed from her pocket , removed battery; dead.

Teacup or less, it was stunning that it could happen.

iPhone 6s Surprisingly Water Resistant, but Not Waterproof
MacRumors—Monday September 28, 2015 8:09 am PDT by Mitchel Broussard

Since the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have been out for a few days, some users have begun to test the breaking point of the new devices, especially in regards to the possibility of water resistance. A handful of YouTubers have put together some videos showcasing impressive results of both the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus under a few inches of water, but the devices fare much worse when put to the test under four feet of water in a swimming pool. (more, including videos of testing showing iPhone 6S under water for 30 minutes at source site)

In addition, there are multiple companies making reasonably priced waterproof and hardened iPhone 6 and 6 plus cases. Consumers Reports found that Samsung's claims that their Galaxy S7 Active Phone was waterproof, the one they advertise by pouring Champagne over, were bogus. Multiple samples failed CU's testing.

The funny thing about liars BS'ers is that they always end up getting caught by their own lies BS.

To wit, when it some time ago came to the *iwatch*, you were adamant, in lengthy discussions, citing arcane legal statutes, against all common sense, that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WATERPROOF. Calling something "waterproof" is patently illegal! No such thing exists! There can only be "water resistant".

And yet, there you go...
