Yes, an Apple supplied factory refurbished iPhone will still be water resistant. But note that deliberate exposure to water, especially submerging any iPhone, is not recommended. And any water damage immediately voids your warranty. Water resistance is no guarantee that submerging a device in water will not damage it.

Water Resistant:

Perhaps. But not waterproof. If refurbished, I would be a bit skeptical as to its sustainability to be resistant to water.


Take it to a Retailer: If you get water in this, take it to a retailer, seeing if they have a device that gets the water out of a phone. Retailers have these.
