> iPhones haven been completely waterproof for generations now. Maybe so but when I went into Apple store to get a free battery replacement under warranty because they had a recall, the Apple employees specifically check for water exposure[1] and if it's ever been wet, they consider it "damaged" and won't do the free battery swap. It's nice that one can accidentally fall into a swimming pool with the phone in the pocket and it won't get broken. However, one can't be totally nonchalant about letting it get submerged because it will void its warranty status. [1] https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204104 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204104
