Does anyone actually take into account "IP Rating"/"Water Resistance" when they buy phones?

I won't have money to buy a water resistant phone anyways, so no.

People don't, but companies do.
Company A might get a contract to do whatever thing for Company B and the contract says "all equipment brought on site by your team must be this or that or whatever IP Rating".
It's an insurance / liability thing.

Nope, my current phone isn't even water resistant. It loses resistance over time anyways, so IDC.

That's a lot of money.

Boots theory of economics. I can't afford another phone if mine gets dunked in the toilet. Can't really live in a lot of places without a smartphone these days, so you're looking at a minimum of ~$100. You can find IP67 phones on sale for ~$210 if you take the time to look.

Not arguing about how cheap you can get IP phones or if it's a good idea. Just wanted to mention that 300$ is a lot of money for a lot of people. 210$ are as well and while it might make sene in the long run, people might still not be able tovafford it. If you can, go for it, but many can't.

Well, I just can't afford a better one, so I had to adapt my habits. I don't use my phone in the bathroom or near water, I go inside to use it when raining, etc. My current phone is from 2020.
