content: To be fair, if they covered water damage they'd be handing out a LOT of claims.  The phone is water resistant, not water proof.  It was only rated IP67, which means it is NOT rated for total immersion, but only jets of water.  So it won't necessarily survive a dunk in the pool or toilet, but it should do fine in the rain.  The average iPhone customer has no idea what an IP rating is or the difference between water resistant and water proof.  It would simply be too much of a headache trying to deal with all the idiots dropping their phone in the toilet and demanding a new one and then going bananas on social media when their phone breaks. Too bad people are still going to fuck up their iPhones and then go bitching on social media when they can't get a new one.
