Water resistant is not water proof.

  Not very resistant then

    I simply don't understand this dense sneering snark. The real world is analogue and not a binary on/off setting you click in a config file. "Make this thing indestructable" There is an infinite sliding scale from normal air humidity to the corrosive wetness of a tropical rainforest near a saltwater ocean or the difference being splashed with a few raindrops to being submerged for 100 years at the Mariana Trench.

  A cop out is not warranty. If your phone can't deal with water you probably shouldn't advertise that it can.

    Except it can deal with water, and it's not a Mac, which is what the article refers to. The iPhone is nothing at all to do with this as it's not a Mac.

    It's like testla's autopilot. It's self driving until you crash, then it's your own fault.

  A water sensor tripping is no proof of misuse independent of the devices IP-rating.

  *water Pure not salt water or tap water, not contaminated toilet water where most phones seem to end up. And only for a certain time at a certain depth (pressure). And not pressurized just static. Maybe they should be named USB-Sea? /s

    Have you seen the same Apple ads as me? Because they show it under rain, under the faucet, covered in Coke, etc. I agree it's resistant and it does what you say... But the way they advertise it....

      Well, if water damage your iPhone then you are simply watering it wrong

      None of those things would trip the internal liquid sensors, though. That's the entire point. If the phone is actually up to spec (which, I have to assume it is), then any internal liquid damage would have to come from using the phone out of the spec.
