Thank you so much for your reply. This ease my worries. I’m in an island, phone went inside pool.. ( suppose water proof.. but.. and my iphone XS is less than a month. Purchased 27/9/18. I didn’t buy Apple care yet. I read online that liquid or water damage not covered.
Is it true?
iPhone is not advertised or sold as waterproof. It is water resistant, which is a big difference. And yes, water damage is NOT covered under iPhone warranty. Since you haven't purchased AppleCare+ your phone won't qualify for it since it is now damaged. Sorry, but you'll have to purchase an out of warranty replacement.
