While you may think your iPhone — your any phone really! — is waterproof, it isn’t. It’s not even really water-resistant, not for all water, not all the time. It’s…. complicated. But in this video, I’m going to explain to you why that is, what you can do about it, and most importantly, what Apple could do about it with the iPhone 12 — or the iPhone after that.

I’ll even toss in a Shyamalan twist in at the end. (A good one from the first few films!)
