This. My sister killed multiple phones per year until she went to phones with good waterproof ratings and subsequently were better sealed.

She hasn’t killed one since. That’s a lot less waste overall than before.

I’m not saying this is bad because of that, but I think it’s something people overlook.

My first iPhone was in my coat pocket at work. I picked up a bottle of beer that was juuuuust cracked enough that it would split around the middle from the slightest bump but not enough that the liquid would leak.

I stuck it under my arm to carry it and it split and spilled into my pocket. Not a lot made it in there but the phone never powered on again.
