I think waterproof is a bit of an overstatement. I think it would be to reduce the chances of sweat and humidity affecting the phone.

- Someone 11y agoWater-resistant probably is the better term, but "a video from YouTuber Zach Straley shows the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus functioning underwater for an hour and emerging pretty much unscathed." seems fairly waterproof to me, given what the competition write about their waterproof phones http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/dm/waterproof/ http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/dm/waterproof/
- shalmanese 11y agoWater pressure goes up pretty quickly with depth which means items that are completely water resistant at very shallow depths can quickly lose their water resistance. Plus, any seals may not be statistically perfect and could degrade over time. The reason why Apple hasn't marketed the claim is likely the one most people assume: They don't want to be responsible for warranty repairs for any water damage until they're confident about their process.
