Why don’t most people cause liquid damage to their iPhone 6S especially from taking their phone with them and getting caught in the rain outside or from just rain in general (especially for people that walk) even if you keep it in your pocket?
6S was the first iPhone that had a seal around the screen and other anti-dust measures.. It was never given a IP rating but it was the beginning of Apples implementation of water resistance IMHO..
iPhone 6s did have some water resistance, but it was never rated for submersion. In most cases a little rain probably wouldn’t damage a 6s. If they had pursued an IP rating it probably would’ve been something like an IPX4, but I think the headphone jack was the weak point.
Most electronic devices don’t break at the first sign of rain. Liquid damage although nothing is guaranteed usually occurs after the device had more exposure to rain.

Surface tension in water helps prevent drops of water from entering the device.
Much of the liquid damage comes when people submerge their devices under water, in the toilet for example. This water pressure forces liquid into the phone. If you wash your phone under the faucet, water pressure can force liquid in as well.
