There was also this Samsung phone and in the commercial it had a little girl dropping her phone in the fish tank so her fish could watch nemo. Then the parent took it out and it was fine. But then it wasn't actually waterproof at all. People were dropping their phones in pools and stuff and they broke because the commercial was false advertising it.
I have a Samsung and it is waterproof I've actually dropped it into a water trough it was perfectly fine, the headphone Jack malfunctioned for a little bit but after that dried out it was perfectly fine
When phones claim to be waterproof, it means they can withstand water up to a certain depth. That depth, however, is often unspecified, so people assume there's no limit and drop their phones in the ocean or other deep bodies of water thinking it will have no consequence.
1 meter for 30 minutes, I guess most people don't read manuals anymore huh? But seriously though if my phone is in that much water for that long it's probably in my holster on my hip and I'm probably face down.
They probably got lots of angry calls from stupid people
