I look at it a bit but then throw it out at the same time since I've heard that they'll invalidate the warranty for water damage even if the IP rating says it should have handled it.

Sorta. I live in the Ohio Valley. It can literally be sunny one moment and the next be raining cats and dogs. I've walked out of the house and where I was standing, it was sunny, but 20 feet away it was raining. It's pretty wild.
Not really, I just assume it can handle being rained on.
Nope
Nope. Never had a water-related incident with any cellphone in the 20ish years I've been using them. Just not relevant to my life.
Not phone, but I definitely look at IP or Denier ratings for other things.
These days the only thing that's remotely worth buying is a Pixel phone that's unlocked so you can get GrapheneOS.
I'm not against graphene or pixel phones, but this is such a shortsighted take and this doesn't remotely answer the question.
or a fairphone so that disassembly, or even just taking out the battery is not a risky nightmare.
