If the device is not covered for damage by liquids then it is not waterproof.
When you claim a device is waterproof to a certain level it must be too that level.
It would seem that Apple claimed the device was waterproof when it actually is not.

AnonD-955101, 01 Dec 2020people is the correct word to choose as a plural for person... moreWell, since unlike you I can learn, I'll fact check that and use the proper naming, as I am still learning English it is nice to know when I make a mistake.
And yes, I've never asked you to answer me ever, you were the one who came whenever you could, so it would be a huge relief if indeed you could just refrain from talking to me, I would really love that !

You use the word "Peopoles" which isn't a real word.
The word "peoples" have been ranked 62th most used English word by the "COCA" (Corpus of Contemporary American English) which is a corpus of over 560 millions words.
And it have been ranked 61th most used English word by the Oxford English Corpus.
But yeah, no one else than me use it, sure.

Einstein used it quite a few time in his popular quotes, and there is one that perfectly describe you :

AnonD-955101, 01 Dec 2020Learning from you?thanks but no thanks, i have enough commo... moreThat's your issues :
*First, you mix up the message and the messenger.
*Second, you obviously have things to learn, peoples refusing to learn from X or Y are typically those who have the most thing yet to learn.
*Third, what does experience in repairing electronic have to do with how I speak about some features ?
One More time, how does it hurt you in the first place ? Just simply don't read my comments if you don't like them, simple as that, YOU are the one commenting it, and I did told you multiple times that the reason I WILL continue is exactly because you and peoples like you still negatively answer my comments (and I don't consider constructive criticisims as negative by the way).
I also told you that each times you do that I'll post more, and yet you are still trying to argument me on things that can't be argued and then complain I do that, how low one have to be to not understand the total lack of logic in your acts ?
Just stop to answer for no reasons if you can't understand what I am doing, because I haven't talked about front facing camera here, I have talked about pop up.
Pop up which have become way more rare than they should have been because ignorant fearmongers kept saying the same non senses about them, IP rating and water resistance is one of them, it is like rain and water level of related.
I am not anti everything, once again :
"I am only speaking against over market invading things that are also invasive for the users, and it haves nothing to do with my preferences.
I don't want bezels, I still support them.
I don't like back and side fingerprint scanners, I still support them.
I don't need IR blaster, I still support it.
And the list goes on and on.
THIS is what you refuse to learn despite me having clearly explained it multiple times to you, what I do and how I do it, yet you pretend you get it and complain about it while accusing me of literally the opposite of what I do.
*Sure, you mean my long comment walls that many have little chances to get read because peoples prefer smaller ones and that still receive upvotes ?
*Or me really often upvoting other peoples (which isn't something commonly done in this website) giving a higher vote ratio to comments around mine (that are sometime literally only my own votes) ?
*Or the fact that yourself you get basically no votes when you are arguing with me and despite my longer posts I do ?
*Appart from those like you who would complain when there isn't any reasons to and extremely egoistic and egocentric peoples, the majority do agree with what I say pretty often.
*You can't even understand the difference between "Fictional" and "Functional" and complained to me for that.
*You can't even spell "peoples" properly, ironically I am dyslexic and I do write and understand better than you.
*You are the one who bring front facing camera (or "ffc" like you love to write it), to the conversation and yet you are telling me to stop talking about it ?!
*You are the one saying to stop talking about unrelated things when I mention pop up in a water resistance article's comments when water resistance obsession is one of the reason the pop up have loss popularity.
*You can't comprehend that I am not anti features because I don't like them, but because they are both intrusive and way too often on phones leaving almost no alternatives.
*You can't understand basic sentences and require multiple repetitions of the same thing to get a glimpse about what everybody else understand well.
And I AM the one who have bad conversation skills ?
Are you for real ?
Now get a life, you surely have other things to do than oppressing minorities.

[deleted post]When will be the moment when you won't be pissing all over it? Not to mention I'm not even defending Apple only. But hey, if you'd EVER read anything instead of rushing pissing all over Apple. I literally said I'd apply same to ANY phone maker. It's freaking ads. They are meant to look cool and not necessarily reflect reality. Cool slow mo water splashes fall into that group. If they explicitly said "You can dive 300m with iPhone and make calls", then I'd demand that that can actually be done. Heh...

They was so lucky, in Ireland they was caught for tax, was fined 3 billion dollars. Apple had to bribe Ireland to save Thier back.

But except if you work in an environment filled with many conductive particles, like iron dust in a workshop, it probably won't be an issue anyway.

Foxtrot2Novmbr, 01 Dec 2020If android smartphone manufacturers don't have any war... moreAndroid companies do not overly exaggerate things out of it's given limits as the most superior technology in their ads like apple does, beyond most of premium android smartphones cover water damages in their warranty and even if they don't, the customer service is very quick and 5x less cheap than apple's massive repair fees, which is why their phones are built for. And for most normal people that is a lot even more if they own one for the trend.

Someone even quoted the rule and yet you still can't see it. Imagine an average Joe or Jane seeing the ad on the telly them immediately bought an iphone, use them while taking a bath, phone drops in the tub and broke. The majority of people using phones doesn't know what's inside the phone, what can be or can't be done to them. The law is there to protect those people.

If you can't tell the difference, I can't help you. Just be thankful we have courts helping you spot the difference between fantasy and reality.

It would make no sense sealing off the battery inside a phone to get water resistance only to find out that you lost the luxury of having reasy battery replacement for no repair top the phone on case it gets water damaged.
If manufacturers, any of them, want to seal of their batteries, then they should start accepting phone repairs for any water damage, at least for phones that werent opened before.
