    There are other ways that happens too. Good luck finding a new Otterbox case if you’re still using an iPhone 7 like I am. :confused:

    Apple, and if Apple does it they all do.

    From Google Almighty:

    “iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). ... Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions.Dec 1, 2020"

    You aren't going to beat teams of engineers for the biggest company in the world at this but I'm not going to stop you from trying.

    Probably not. Change the colour and increase the number in its name by 1 and people will line up around the block for it.
