No iPhone is waterproof. Water resistant but not waterproof. Are you asking out if curiosity or are you planning a trip or activity around water and want to make sure you will be ok? Ultimately your goal should never be to intentionally submerge your phone but assuming nothing has caused a compromise point on your device it should be fine if it fell into water around the perimeters set for its water resistance shown in specifications
