I guess my thoughts were being based on the situation of there would be an issue if submerged in water and an issue came up. Like a quick oops in a sink of water (thinking while I'm cooking, etc). I get the fact between some not having a clue between waterproof and water resistance and that's kinda sad but one oops moment could send us into a dead phone even after the so called testing for abeing able to withstand a plunge.
Below is about the same as our warranties on our phones. If I'm wrong, please correct me...
"Second, and more seriously, Apple made iPhone water resistance claims in its marketing, but then refused warranty service on phones which suffered water damage.
Furthermore, the disclaimer “The guarantee does not cover damage caused by liquids”, given the emphatic advertising boast of water resistance, was considered likely to deceive consumers by not clarifying which type of guarantee it referred to (conventional guarantee or legal guarantee), nor was it deemed capable of adequately contextualizing the conditions and limitations of the claims of water resistance.
The Antitrust also considered it appropriate to take into account Apple’s refusal, in the post-sales phase, to honor warranties when those iPhone models were damaged by water or other liquids, thus depriving consumers of the rights they should expect from the guarantee or in the Consumer Code.
Apple fits iPhones with internal indicators which show when there has been water ingress into the device. It is Apple policy to deny warranty repair or replacement when this indicator is activated. This means buyers are told one thing when they buy the phone, but something else when they need after-sales service."
