    Waterproofing a 3.5mm jack is not that difficult

    Hm. If you say so. But I would never trust it further than a few minutes in the rain.

      Do you think it’s more difficult to waterproof than a USB-C port? And if so, how did 148 phones from the list above get their IP68/IP69 ratings?

        No, but I think most “waterproof” phones can fulfil only something like IP44, that is, withstand some light rain.

        Even if they appear in other search lists, and especially (!!) when they “invent” other standards than the strict IPxx numbers that have existed alteady before this phone.
