Yesterday for the first time I put my iPhone X underwater at a depth of less than 50 cm and less than 7 min. iPhone stopped working. Right now touch-screen doesn't react to any tap but the screen still working and shows time and "Swipe up to unlock".
Does it mean that iPhone X hasn't any waterproof?
Can smb advise on what I can do to make touch-screen works again?
Thank you!
iPhone X, iOS 13

They should say: NEVER put your iPhone underwater because we don't guarantee what you phone will work after this, and doesn't matter which IP it has.
They do.

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

questions forum, you are not addressing apple here just fellow users
you can let apple know that you feel their water resistance but using their feedback channel
https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
they dont browse their support forums looking for customer feedback

Legally it makes no difference. The warranty terms explicitly state that liquid damage is not covered by the warranty. There's also this line:
Liquid damage is not covered under warranty, but you might have rights under consumer law.
waterproof is not the same thing as water resistant About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later - Apple Support
No. That is not what it means.
It means it passed testing under controlled conditions for IP67 water resistance rating.
You should NEVER intentionally submerge an iPhone. You've destroyed it. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple or just buy a new phone.
O meu aconteceu uma tragédia parecida, XR ficou por 40 segundos a menos de 40cm de profundidade. O suficiente para ficar reiniciando sozinho e com mancha escura na tela. 1 metro por 30 minutos, nunca que aguenta. Se aguentasse dariam garantia, já não dão porque já sabem que é propaganda enganosa. Uns aguentam, outros não. Meu amigo tem um XR também com 5 meses de uso e com frequência usa ele em rios o meu com menos de 2 meses de uso não aguentou 40 segundos. Eu tinha um iphone 7 que usava com frequência em parque aquáticos, nunca deu problema. Então é questão de sorte, uns da e outros não. Ou seja, não é seguro nem muito menos confiável por na água. Propaganda sobre tal proteção, é no minimo enganosa.

It means that there are no guarantees about meeting the water resistance standard. Apple tests samples built to production standards. It doesn't mean that the seals don't degrade with normal exposure to environmental conditions. And it doesn't mean that one can get it wet (without damage) and then do it over and over again, as that tends to weaken the seals.
Nothing about the word “resistance” means that something is guaranteed to not be harmed when exposed to the element it is “resistant” to. It merely means it is less likely to be damaged than a similar, non-resistant device would be.
iPhone X has IP67 standard that means iPhone X can be underwater up to 30 min and less than 1m (~39 in). Am I wrong?
I used Google Translate to read you message:)
Thank you:)
