In this case it’s “Ingress Protection” rating - as in how well it prevents water and dust from getting inside the phone when exposed.
Edit: since I’m on hold and bored, here’s the Bard description of the rating system
The Ingress Protection (IP) rating system is a two-digit code that tells you how well an enclosure is protected against dust and water. Here’s a quick breakdown:
First digit: This is for solid objects, like dust, fingers, or tools. It goes from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust-tight).
Second digit: This is for water, like splashes, rain, or immersion. It goes from 0 (no protection) to 9 (protected against high-pressure water jets).
So, an IP67 rating means the device is dust-tight and can withstand being submerged in water for a short time.
Here are some real-world examples:
IP44: Splashproof phone, suitable for light rain or spills.
IP65: Dustproof camera, good for outdoor use but not submersion.
IPX7: Waterproof smartwatch, can survive a dunk in the pool.
IP68: Rugged phone, can handle being underwater for extended periods.
Remember, IP ratings are just guidelines. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for specific usage advice.
