      Yeah, they’re German. SHIFT is kind of like the European equivalent to some of the newer American groups that make degoogled Androids.

    Is water proofing really a bigger deal than the 3.5mm audio jack? Subjectively, I use the jack nearly every day, and have not dropped a phone into a toilet even once.

      I have dropped a phone into a toilet exactly once, 3 years ago (fell out of my pocket), and I’ve been carrying a smartphone since my first blackberry in 2005.

      So what, 15+ years and I’ve needed waterproofing once.

      Ive rinsed my phones under water almost daily since they got that rating. But the 3.5mm needs a good dac and amp (also available separately and fairly cheap, with USB and 3.5mm and/or 4.4mm interfaces).
