iphone 11 is not water resistant

hey i got my iphone 11 yesterday and was really happy. I thought it was water resistant because apple and others had advertised. I thought if it is waterproof I can take it with me in the shower to listen to music. but after my shower I had to realize that the lower speakers crack and are quiet. as if there was a short circuit. At first I thought it was just the drops of water that just covered the sound. but after my sleep like 8h later when it was definitely dry I still had this crackling sound. I'm desperate right now. first day and that?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

It is not "waterproof". Apple says this about its resistance:

About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later - https://support.apple.com/HT207043

and:

Liquid damage to iPhone or iPod isn't covered by warranty - http://support.apple.com/HT204104 - "iPhone and most iPod devices are equipped with Liquid Contact Indicators (LCIs) that you can see from the outside."

Take it to a Genius Bar for evaluation but be prepared to pay for out-of warranty repair (reduced cost it you have Applecare).
