"The Phone is advertised as waterproof that's it."

Will you insert a link to where the phone is advertised as "waterproof"?

I think advertisers/manufacturers are walking on thin ice if a product is promoted as waterproof.

Wristwatches used to be sold as "waterproof" until that had to be changed to "water resistant" to whatever depth of water/liquid.

It means that you have somehow convinced yourself that it is advertised as "waterproof" but even when you are told multiple times that isn't true you have still have maintained that it is without even making any effort to check... 

Here is the official line from Apple: "iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are splash, water and dust resistant"

They have never claimed it is waterproof and never will.

Can you please send a link to where apple claim phones are waterproof. 

As right now you're just talking to an empty room and moaning.

There are YouTube videos where someone takes an iPhone and dunks it in water, I understand one is even taken on a dive and still worked. That is a whole world away from a manufacturer stating a product is waterproof. As others have mentioned, Apple state "water resistant", which is not the same as water proof.

You can understand that something made specifically for diving, such as a diving watch, will be covered under warranty for water ingress, but a phone is not designed for that and the manufacturer has no way of knowing whether you got the phone wet in a shower of rain, cleaned it with a pressure washer, or dropped it over the side of a boat into 100 foot of water...

You really shouldn't make stuff up to try and make your case seem stronger.
