water fell on my iphone and now the sound is quite and only from the top speaker

iPhone XS Water issues So i just had to replace my iPhone XS, after my water bottle was tipped over and spilled in my bag and my phone got wet and it shut off. How come it was damaged so easily if it is able to be splash free, and able to be under 2 meters of water of submerged for 30. Mins? How come the new iPhones don’t have the same water options as the Apple Watch? That would help make it water proof. This needs to happen!

Water in speakers my iphone 12 mini was in my pocket while I was in swimming pool (20 minutes max). I switched it off for 5 hrs then powered on once and then again switched it off for 24 hrs. I did not charge or connect any lightning accessory during this period. Water had entered in my speakers and they had a muffled sound so I used water eject shortcut and sonic app to push water out. But it is not working in the case of top/front speaker (the one that is used for calls). What should I do ? Also the performance of iphone is not compromised and the bottom speakers are working fine (hopefully, is there any way to verify if the speakers are back to normal) but still I am afraid if the phone has been damaged. The phone is covered in 1 yr warranty as I had bought it in oct 2021.

Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation and options. Water damage can be permanent and if water got inside the phone, it could be fatal.

You'll never know until it fully dries out.
