My iPhone was “broken” the day I brought them

my phone has been dead since 10 June, I was at the beach and I was photographing at the beach, My phone touch sea water less than 1 minutes and I was “haft” of my phone, I did not drop it! But my phone are now dead. If I do not understand wrong, iPhone should be 100% water proof? I been using this phone since December 2022.

iPhone 14 Plus, 16

I dropped my iPhone into water I dropped my phone into the water, I immediately took it out. Nothing happened. At first phones volume was down but with these water out of speaker sounds on youtube, i fixed it . But just in case i went to a phone shop he said itll die in 2 or 3 days. theres no chance of fixing it. Is that true? Am i gonna have to buy a new phone? Or are there any chance to getting it fixed?

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?
