Isnt the issue not the wetness itself but the wrinkles your finger get after being in water for longer periods of time? Atleast I cant remember when rain was so bad my fingers wrinkled true after a bath tho

No, when I had a Touch ID iPhone, it would often have trouble reading my fingerprint even if my hands were just still damp from being washed in the sink for a few seconds and not fully towel-dried.
