Water damage

When I purchased my iPhone 11 it stated that my phone is waterproof and it’s not I never dropped my phone in water I guess it got moist in it from me taking my shower because I always keep my phone in the bathroom with me when I take my showers so I can hear if my phone rings and since it stated that my was waterproof which is the reason I purchased my iPhone in the first place and not that it’s not true what can be done about this

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Nowhere does Apple ever state any iPhone is waterproof.

Apple’s statement regarding water resistance:

To prevent liquid damage, avoid:

  • 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
