#1 Wild guess, every time you use it it adds an opaque mark.
jaehoony
2 is misleading. Culturally Japanese people take bath, not shower, often for a long time. Hence the need for waterproof phone.
Jteg
I can already see what I’m erasing before I even put the eraser to the paper
RigoryMorty
I don't think any cell phone maker produce water proof phones strictly because the Japanese use them in the showers... This is so stupid.

Did you know that apostrophes are not used for pluralizing "phone" nor are they used to pluralize any other word in the English language.
Girlie1337
They developed waterproof phones because they use them in the shower or they use them in the shower because they developed waterproof phones
jaehoony
Japanese take BATH, and people are often bored during baths, so they wanna use their waterproof phones.

Now all we need is transparent Aluminum.

Garbage post.
stillafckingfreak
But am I still able to poke the eraser with my pen?
TheUnstoppableWampas
Consequences clearly haven't been enough to stop your poor decision making ability before, and nothing has changed.

More than one person has been electrocuted while charging their phone and taking a bath.
ChristopherHallett
The owner's manual for my Nokia phone says to wash it with the dishes if it gets dirty.

#2 - all of the higher end smartphones (iPhone, Galaxy S-series, Pixel, OnePlus) have very high water resistance and are fine in the shower.
SomeDetroitGuy
Quite a few other brands make "rugged" phones (like Nokia) which are incredibly water resistent.
elfoe
Did you know you have no idea how to use apostrophes?
ailike
DiD yOU KNow? This post is bot produced trash because it is terrible. In Japan.
Hapki
#2 is complete hogwash. I lived in Japan for 7 years. They are the same phones everyone has.
jaehoony
#2 was true about 10 years ago. Before iPhone became waterproof essentially.
sarikitty
Sort of. When I bought mine (2014), I was specifically asked if I wanted one that was waterproof, and the clerk was surprised I didn't care.
Hulser
Did you know all caps and random font color switches lower readability dramatically?
fnoigy
Also terrible grammar
Naroyto
I do now.
ChloeRed
They forgot to use different typefaces for almost every word to get the hattrick?
NotAPervert
They forgot the final touch, a disclaimer in an excessively small serif font telling dyslexic people to go fuck themselves
emenelopee
Did you know: you don't need an apostrophe to pluralize a word?
apLundell
I erase things because I DON'T want to see them.
RancidOrange
You radical, you

Phones in the shower are the best
ChloeRed
I'd be lucky to see it. Hell, with out my glasses I can't see the shower most of the time I'm in there...

Long ago I had a job doing mechanical & electrical drawings. Special pencils & pens, plastic film not paper, plastic erasers. Transparent
StochasticTraveller
erasers would actually have been useful when trying to be precise in what was being removed.
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
The second "fact" is pure and utter bullshit. Therefore I don't even care to research the first.
jaehoony
It's not.
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
Youngers just can't get off them cellular telephones!

I recall hearing it's actually about the prevalence of bathhouses
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
I didn't even know bathhouses were still that prevalent, especially amongst "youngsters" these days.

I miss having a waterproof phone.

I think even in the west, a lot of people seem to use Bluetooth speakers in the shower.
ThatsProbablyInMyBag
But you can't watch porn on a Bluetooth speaker.
VodkaReindeer
What kind of amateur can't get off with just sound
nonagon3x3
i was unaware that first one involving erasers was a problem.
Dasnekones
Perhaps it was less of a problem and more of a cool thing they found was surprisingly simple to do
raminagrobis
What, you didn't know that an obscure company on the other side of the world made a product with a completely unnecessary feature? Shame.
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
If you're writing from right to left and are right handed, erasing covers up what you just wrote unlike writing left to right would.
baronluke
in art it's be nice for fine erasure work. I think if it's actually used graphite would get on the eraser and then it's not transparent
thatlamer
It really only seems useful for artists who need to erase a very precise thing, but then it's in standard eraser block form so it'll round.
WhatzitTooya
If I wanna do precise I use a knife to cut it in shape.
spookyS
Maybe to accommodate different writing directions for the Japanese language
Subtilico
Just erase with your other hand.
kayaker01
Or get it right the first time.
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
Probably also useful for left hand dominant people.
Sorceresss
Will you still see through the eraser after it's been used? All grey and smudgy?
3nd3rwiggin
Better than shiny and chrome.
lostandlooking
yeah i thought the point of erasers was to not see your mistake anymore
TheWombatStrikesAgain
That's what mirrors are for.
SLCtechie
So that’s why my dad keeps giving me these
Elbowdeepinabeepbeepsheep
jwillustrat
It’d be cool if they develop non-smearing but erasable graphite for left handers.
AFelineMassofEyes
You want the harder graphite blends they sell to artists, H instead of B. The mark isn't as dark, but it's much harder to smear.
Sheldonian
This, a thousand times this

I have a moist fart and my android has moisture detected in the charging port the rest of the day... still better than apple.
WyldStallionz1
I paid like 12 bucks and got a shower case that my phones goes into and then attaches to the wall. Keeps water off and touchscreestill works
TheAmazingSeaMonkey
If you want to use your phone in the shower just put it in a ziploc bag. I can only think of two reasons to use phone in the shower.
primorcian
I have just stood there and browsed imgur till the water gets cold stoned before. So a waterproof case is necessary ROFL
nomorehate
If you think it's just the sensor glitching, on Samsung, mine at least, you can restart and plug it in when the Samsung logo comes up and >
nomorehate
it'll start charging.
fpsnoob
Pretty sure Japan has the same "mobile" phones as the rest of us now.
jaehoony
Now, yeah. Sony used to make waterproof phones some years before it caught on US/EU because people in Japan really wanted waterproof phones.
fpsnoob
They still exist today, but they're expensive and bulky, so not really popular. Lots of water resistant phones out there though
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
Well... not exactly. A lot of people, even young ones are still using simple flip phones. There are a lot of misconceptions about ... 1/2
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
2/2 ... Japan and "advanced technology". Their focus is quite different.
fpsnoob
I'm aware of the flip phones being common, but I don't think the ones using those are the people who need their phone in the shower
Sheldonian
fYI as someone who fixes phones and computers as a hobby, that your phone is "waterproof" doesn't mean you won't short it's life by 1/
troyandabedpostoniiiiimgur
If water is able to cause internal corrosion, that phone isn’t certified waterproof.
Sheldonian
You're right, others and I use the wrong term, because no phone Is waterproof they're water-resistant, and other thing I forgot to mention1/
Simonator
Some are, my Doogee is.
Sheldonian
Is that even Apple mentions that the water resistance they have decreases with wear 2/2
Sheldonian
Putting it under water regularly and btw your iPhone's warranty doesn't cover water damage. The contact points and metal frames will 2/2
Sheldonian
Corrode (on the inside) and usually the waterproofness doesn't include sea water, soapy water or other liquids like alcohol. Tldr; Don't 3/3
Sheldonian
Put your phone under water because even if it doesn't fail immediately, you'll shorten its lifspan 4/4
Aksuuuh

I would wager Japanese phones are higher quality with greater protections than those products designed to be sold in Western, markets.
Sheldonian
I'm sure they're not Japan is mostly an iPhone country and those are made in the same countries any other phone it's made and for the same 1
