would apple cover a water damage warrenty

I dropped my phone in water and it broke. Apple claims the iPhone 13 is waterproof. A friend said she dropped her in a lake and was able to trade it in for a new phone. Will apple do that for mine as well? If not is there a warranty that it will cover some of the price?

Does Apple repair or replace iPads with water damage under AppleCare One? So unfortunately I dropped my iPad Pro 12.9" M1 1TB silver in the bathtub today. I know, stupid idea to even use it there in the first place but well.. I initially wanted to do Express Replacement since that would've been faster, but since the temporary charge is 2,139€ and I don't wanna tie up that much money I decided to do Send-in instead. Now, being a technician myself, I am now afraid that Apple is gonna attempt to repair the iPad instead of replacing it? The power and volume buttons are already glitching out and I am pretty sure that this will eventually also corrode the logic board, which might happen after the technicians at Apple have seen my device. So will Apple attempt to repair it and possibly have it corrode in a few weeks or will they just replace the entire iPad when sending it in instead of express replacement?

iPhone 14 is obviously not water resistant I’m confused as to how Apple can claim their phones are water resistant to a certain depth for 30min when they clearly are not. For example my iPhone 14 unfortunately ended up in a pool, completely my fault I get that. Instantly I’m like “well there goes my phone” I jumped out dried it off immediately and switched it off. I waited 48 hours and tried to turn it on and it’s obviously dead. However I’m confused as to what it says on the website, iPhone 14’s are supposedly water resistant to a depth of 6 meters for 30mins. I went into a pool at a depth of now more than 2ft deep for about 40 seconds maybe 60 at max and my phones dead. Again this is my fault completely, I just find it odd that Apple can make this claim yet when the phone is clearly not they say “not covered under warranty” surely if you’re going to claim it you have to back it up if it fails to do what you say it will?

Nowhere does Apple ever state that the phone is waterproof.

Water damage is not covered under the warranty, so the phone is going to be a total loss.

Apple will not accept a phone for trade that is not in good working order.
