If you get thrown into the pool with a wallet in your pocket, no big deal. With a cellphone, it’s a $current_iphone_price loss.

Even if phones were $0 people would be upset because it's all the passwords, accounts, login credentials, second factor, photos (are they backed up!?), call history, etc. Too much is tied up in these things.

iPhones are IP68 water resistant.

They're too expensive and stuff on them too important to test that feature. Apple marketing claims they are, so... Anyway I think most of the cases when iphone falls into the water is when it sinks in it forever.

Dystopia cancelled. /s

Ip68 is a mere 1.5 meters! It’s still a dystopia until we get iso6425.

Maybe you're right, but Apple says the iPhone 15 Pro is safe in up to 6 meters of water for up to 30 minutes

Only before the first battery change.
