Hello, i was caught in the rain and now my iPhone XS Max is not working. The screen will come on but it does not react to anything that i push. I am aware that these phones are "waterproof" so unsure how rain can do so much damage. Can you please help me with getting my iPhone to work again?

It can NOT go "several meters into the water".
You're confusing testing methodology with real world use.

Liquid damage can not be repaired. You will have to get the phone replaced.

If the device is taking damage from rain... I think it is a problem with the device and should be replaced by apple if they still have warranty on it.

False.
The phone can go several meters into water and described as “splash proof“ so I was surprised to see such damage from rain. I am asking for advice on how to fix my iPhone not anyone’s unprofessional opinion!

Water damage can not be repaired and the device must be replaced.
No iPhone has ever been made waterproof.
Hey! That may be a hardware problem... Do you still have warranty on it?
The device has liquid detectors built in and if they have been triggered no repair attempt will be made.
Nope. That's not how it works and water damage is not covered by the standard warranty.
Hi! You really wrote a nice guide! Thank you and i will remember this next time!

You're welcome. I hope people find it informative.
