As someone who believed the marketing hype for the iPhone 11 and took it in the sea, my subsequent visit to the Apple shop to get a replacement was illuminating. I explained I’d only been in the surf, the phone spent maybe a minute actually under water and the rest of the time it just got splashed. Apple guy checked the sensor, it indicated water damage and that’s all that matters. I tried arguing about their adverts of the time but I couldn’t prove what I said happened. I was glad of my apple care as it only cost me £79 for a full replacement. He said it’s always best to assume your phone isn’t water resistant and if it accidentally gets wet it might survive rather than assuming you have a fully waterproof device. I know that the 15 is supposed to be ‘better’ but I don’t take mine in water without additional protection.
My friend learned this the hard way. After a bit of ocean water splash the phone can’t charge. But he was lucky as cleaning the charging port saved the day.

It’s the sea salt that destroyed it, if you would just put it in water it would work like normal
I agree. My AirPods Pro have survived a trip through the washing machine and dryer. So far anyway.
Yeah same my first gen pros too they died after the 3rd time though lol
