Having some water resistance is good but Id never put it in water intentionally. IMO that pushes that boundary and is totally nuts.

That's super deceptive since they advertise it as waterproof
so what does IP67 really mean to you guys?
The OP took it into the shower, I'm guessing, for less than 30mins. I'm sure the shower isn't scalding hot to damage the seal. Otherwise thats poor seals. It wasn't submerged so there isn't any water pressure to break the seal.
A shower is like raining hard. if I'm stuck outside and it rains and I need to make a phone call, then my phone dies due to water damage, the manufacturer isn't gonna honor the IP67 RATING?
I never plan to get any of my electronic s near water.
Do you have a link for an add saying the Pixel 2 is waterproof?
No doubt the problem with a warranty to cover all water damage would be the inability to tell what you did to get the damage. Maybe you took your phone scuba diving. Maybe you dropped it in the deep end of your swimming pool and it sat there on the bottom of the pool over night and you didn't discover it until the next day.
You're only taking into account water in that. Steam/water vapor can get into places that water can't. Rain doesn't have steam, warm bathrooms have. They can get into your phone, condense inside once it's cooler, and boom water damage.so what does IP67 really mean to you guys?

Or someone splashes me with water or tosses a water balloon and it hits the phone to and stops working.

Also the ratings only take into account fresh clean water. I dare say most likely they used distilled water. That means pure water no ions or anything that can break apart the seals. Tap water has various components apart from water. Some places they're chlorinated, or flourides, sometimes there are bits of contamination they pick up along the way, etc. Repeated exposure would eventually break the seals down.
These are reasons why we should never really push the ratings. Not all water is the same.

Never seen a bathroom with stream and I highly doubt any have. Seems a lot of people have no idea what steam is.
It is not the white “fog” you see in the bathroom when you turn on a hot shower for instance.
If we are going to be technical: If you can see it....it's not steam
IP Rating Chart | DSMT.com
IP66Protected from total dust ingress.Protected from high pressure water jets from any direction.
IP67Protected from total dust ingress.Protected from immersion between 15 centimeters and 1 meter in depth.
IP68Protected from total dust ingress.Protected from long term immersion up to a specified pressure.
IP69KProtected from total dust ingress.Protected from steam-jet cleaning.
Yes, the rating takes into account pressure, steam and direction of water. The ratings are cumulative.
No the ratings are not cunmulative. There is no standard tests for it. If the phone can survive 30min in low pressure submersion it gets 1P67, regardless if it could pass IP66 or not.
