Your phone was never waterproof, it was water resistant.

If you had the screen changed by Apple it should have the same water resistance. If you had it changed by anyone else then there is no way of knowing.

iPhone 12 mini water damage I got my phone in my bathing suit and realized it the minute I got into the pool. I got it out and it still worked fine. Removed the case, dried the phone up with a cloth. I know the iPhone 12 mini is water-resistant to a certain extent. But this morning, the screen has gone dark. I went through some articles and followed recommendations. Now it's lying on a dry cloth, turned off, SIM card and tray removed. I'm a afraid that if I plug it in to make a back up, it could cause damage to the circuits if they're still wet. I took an appointment to a repair shop. Any other advice?

There is no iPhone model that meets the waterproof requirements, they are just water resistant.

If you have your screen replaced at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service provider), your phone will keep the water resistant feature.
