Water damage to Iphone xs max

Hi

How old his the phone? Is it still under warranty? If so contact whoever you purchased it from about getting it repaired or replaced.

Details regarding water resistance can be found here but having read it I suspect you might not get a refund after jumping in a pool with it in your pocket

You can think all you want but water resistance is a measurement that carried over from watches. A rating is obtained in controlled laboratory conditions. They do not have someone jump in the tank with the device as this adds water pressure damage to the mix which is not part of the water/dust resistance measurement. Also the warranty specifically states that water damage is not covered under the warranty.

So you can ask but you will not receive a free replacement. I have to admit I never saw any advertising showing someone jumping in a pool with their watch in the pocket. Do you have a link for that?

Your device has been destroyed by the water damage and it can't be repaired.

Recycle your useless device.

Still haven't heard about out-of-warranty replacement?
