Is your smartphone water resistant or water proof. Think FL downpours...

Another Floridian chiming in here. I'm in South Florida, where we are a tad more swamp-like than Central Florida. Our rainstorms will ruin my wife's hair, a casual motorcycle ride, and suede boots, but not a cellphone.

Is that all at the same time?

 

[rsoxguy]

My wife does not ride, so no. But I do have a lovely head of hair myself.

I'm curious as to what makes a FL downpour different than a downpour from any other state?

Florida water is wetter than the other states.

Just like Texas Salt is saltier than other states salt.

It's just a fact!

The drops are bigger, so it's harder to run between them.

Which begs the question, Do you get wetter walking or running in the rain?

Could never decide, so I somersault.

I thought Utah's salt was the saltiest.

Only in the lakes.
Everybody knows that Texas is bigger/badder/better at everything.

It's magical.

Do people have fonder memories of it due to its magical qualities?

Being from Texas I tend to agree.

Yes, their Magic Bands are programmed to erase any bad memories.

Interesting. If these torrential FL downpours are bad enough to destroy smart phones, wouldn't these same deluges be destructive to the smart bands people will be enslaved by?

Never underestimate the power of Magic Bands.

Never underestimate the power of rubber bands.

I agree

Treatment for a phone costs $60. You ship it to them, and within a few days you get it back treated.

It's been tested by a lot of tech reviewers, and I've only heard glowing results. Here's video of it in action.
