The Latest User Guide and IP Ratings

[maroof]

Okay, so, as you can all see, the latest user guide for the Xperia Z1 Compact states that the device has an IP rating of 65/68. Previously, we know the ratings were stated to be IP 55/IP 58. Has Sony revised the Xperia Z1 Compact's IP ratings?

Sony, please clear this out. Thank you.
