What if my iPhone XS Max got wet? Isn’t it supposed to be waterproof?
isnt the XS Max waterproof? The Apple website says the one year warranty doesn’t cover water damage? What’s up with that?

It is water resistant, not waterproof. And yes, as stated in the terms of the warranty, water damage voids the warranty. No phone manufacturer offering IP67 & 68 rated devices covers water damage, other than a couple of small companies offering fully “ruggadized” phones.

“iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 2 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.“
