Indeed, it costs phone makers money to obtain official water resistance certifications, and the company is suggesting that other phone makers pass that cost down to smartphone buyers.

Still, the company doesn't suggest that you actively expose its upcoming smartphone to water. Fine print in the video says:"Water resistant under optimal test conditions. OnePlus makes no guarantees regarding water/liquid resistance." Of course, the same things goes for water damage on phones that boast an official IP rating. Apple's support pages, for example, note that"if liquid damages an iPhone or iPod , the service for the liquid damage isn't covered by the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty." You'd have to buy AppleCare+ for $6 per month and pay another $100 for the repair or replacement, which is what you'd get if the iPhone didn't have an official IP rating.
