Re: I propose a new law

Just for the heck of it I checked my 11 Pro Max and my girlfriend's 13 Pro and neither indicated moisture exposure.

I regularly go on bike rides with my phone mounted on the handlebars, and there have been a few times when I've been hit with a torrential downpour before I made it home since during summer months in the midwest storms can pop up out of nowhere.

As far as I know she's never got hers properly wet like mine but she leaves it sitting on the bathroom counter when she takes scaldingly hot showers that would melt the skin off any normal human and fog up the bathroom like San Francisco at dawn because the exhaust fan can't keep up.

FWIW the indicator on both phones is inside the SIM slot. Neither of us has a SIM card (using eSIM) just the tray/cover. Not truly a "sealed" space though I guess the SIM tray/cover forms a good enough seal to keep water and humidity out unless it is damaged.
