That's because it's a warranty - it covers faults, not damages. If you want apple to fork out for a new one because you've dived into the sea with the phone on an armband then you need to pony up for Apple Care +

  If you sell a device as waterproof and then it gets damaged by water, that’s obviously a fault: it wasn’t waterproof like it was meant to be.

    Who is selling a waterproof phone. Because it’s not Apple.

      My iPhone 15 was advertised as meeting IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes) and Apple even publishes a handy list of their products and how water resistant/proof they are: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108039 https://support.apple.com/en-us/108039 > Because it’s not Apple. It is.

        That's IP68 Water Resistance. That's not the same thing as Waterproof.

    Water resistant not proof - no consumer product is going to be sold as water proof if the seal can be broken by undoing a few screws to change battery or repair. https://support.apple.com/en-us/108039 https://support.apple.com/en-us/108039 > These iPhone models are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions...

    iPhones are sold as IP67 or 68. Terms like water resistant and waterproof are too ambiguous.

Not sure what you're referring to. The parent comment specifically mentioned iPhones, waterproofing (not a Mac feature), losing headphone jack (not true of Macs). I was clarifying this article is about Macs, not iPhones.
