Yeah, my point exactly laugh.gif Given the phone prices of flagships these days, I wouldn’t risk washing my phone, hahaha...

My friend who purchased a new Pro Max 12 during launch day to replace his XS Max actually went and wash his XS Max under the tape with soap and water. Guess what? The display died after that and he sent it back to MacCity for repairs. He was quoted Rm2k for a replacement unit as his display was water damaged. The phone is a paper weight right now. laugh.gif
TBH I have washed my XS Max quite a few times and it's still running fine. Most probably the waterproof membrane gave up after time. So I'll make sure not to wash it anymore after this incident.

ip rating is just a number. with ip rating , it does not guarantee you can wash or submerge the phone under water of 1m for 30 minutes. phones with ip rating is much higher in price it only due to they need to do a water seal test for each unit before packing, this takes up production cost and time and need to set up a water test production arm, and also need to pay licence for using ip rating. When the phone pass the test, doesnt mean that it will be confirm water resistant, that y the phone manufacturer will not warranty for water damages. water dameges could still happen even if you just run your phone under the tap for 5 seconds.

The cost of doing ip rating will make the phone more by usd 25-35, which is a lot if you compare with the whole cost of manufacturing the phone.

For some phones basically they did the same thing as the phone with ip rating, with rubber sealant at places, but they decided not to spend on doing a production line just to do the water test and which will make the phone cost goes up significantly.  This phone can be also at ip 68 rating, but they choose not to do the test because of cost. the only downside is that  they cant market their phone as ip 68.

Yes... you have a point there. But since many buyers are paying top dollar for flagship phones, they would demand to have IP Rating. It's a measure to make phone manufacturers promise what is on their phones rather than blindly claiming for it. nod.gif

Its between the need to have and want to have. Again when I pay top dollar for a flagship phone, I want everything the best on it regardless of whether I may need it or not. If not I would have just gotten a budget/cheap phone instead. tongue.gif
