My iPhone 11 fell into my bathtub. It was submerged for less than a minute in a depth of no more than 6 inches of water. Somehow the water got into the phone and damaged the screen.
Since the iPhone 11 is classified as IP68, how could this have happened?
iPhone 11, iOS 14
iPhone is water resistant, NOT waterproof. The IP rating is set by controlled laboratory testing. It is not tested in situations such as dropping the phone in a bathtub or toilet.
The statement above that water damage can't be repaired is correct. If you purchased AppleCare+ when you bought the phone you can get a replacement phone for $99. If you didn't, a replacement phone will cost $399.

Yes, get on a plane and come back to the US with your phone to buy an out of warranty replacement.
Apple will ONLY replace the phone with the same version you purchased. And that means the version you purchased was made for the US, not Argentina.
But it would honestly be less expensive to simply buy a brand new phone in your country.
Water damage can not be repaired and the device must be replaced.
I bought the phone in the US, but I live in Argentina. Do you know how to proceed for the phone replacement?
