Water resistant??

My iPhone 8 fell in less than 6 inches of water for less than 5 minutes and now it’s not working. I thought it was supposed to water resistant for up to 30 minutes in 3 feet?

iPhone 8, iOS 12

About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later


To prevent liquid damage, avoid these:

  • Swimming or bathing with your iPhone
  • Exposing your iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on
  • Using your iPhone in a sauna or steam room
  • Intentionally submerging your iPhone in water
  • Operating your iPhone outside the suggested temperature ranges or in extremely humid conditions
  • Dropping your iPhone or subjecting it to other impacts
  • Disassembling your iPhone, including removing screws
