If this phone is supposed to be waterproof why doesn’t the warranty cover water damage? That makes little sense and is shaking the faith of customers in this phone. If you have this phone you should not just believe the waterproof claim. Keep it away from water. If the claim is wrong you won’t get any help from the company and then will be without a phone. You’ll also be out quite a bit of money.

Key Takeaways:

• Just because the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus claim to be water resistant it doesn’t not mean that apple will fix the phone for free if it has water damage.
• iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 plus are splash, water and dust resistant but the more you use it the less resistant it is.
• iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 plus resistant cannot take high-pressure water situations so it advised that you don’t go in the shower with it or use a pressure washer.

“Though that phone has received a fairly high waterproof rating – IP67, which means that it’s splash resistant – Apple won’t actually be able to replace any phone that ends up breaking because it gets wet.”
