And yet apparently Apple covered liquid damage with the fist generation of Apple Watch.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Debuts New 'Dive' Ad Focusing on iPhone 7 Speakers and Water Resistance

Apple's been around 10-15% since 2010 so this is a non sequitur.
Apple is not selling $100 phones and never will.
Apple has about 80% of the high end market, that's the only one that counts for them and
by far the most profitable.
Also, this was before the fall season were Apple tends to pick up a few %.
Can't you just use a USB-C to lightning cable?

Liquid ingress of 7 and 8 seem to be pretty similar, but I think 8 is a little better.What I still dont understand.
I had Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and I took underwater pics with it 2 years long.
It had IP58 and I had no problems at all.
iPhone 7 has IP67, isnt that much better?
And we are not allowed to take underwater pics with it?
WHY?
7 Immersion, up to 1 m depth Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion). Test duration: 30 minutes - ref IEC 60529, table 8.
Tested with the lowest point of the enclosure 1000 mm below the surface of the water, or the highest point 150 mm below the surface, whichever is deeper.
8 Immersion, 1 m or more depth The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shall be specified by the manufacturer. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a manner that it produces no harmful effects. The test depth and/or duration is expected to be greater than the requirements for IPx7, and other environmental effects may be added, such as temperature cycling before immersion. Test duration: Agreement with Manufacturer
Depth specified by manufacturer, generally up to 3 m
(The first digit is dust protection, the second digit is water. I actually think the iPhone should be marketed as IP64 though, since liquid ingress of 4 = splashing, which is really all it should be exposed to).

De facto waterproof. Was shooting some lovely underwater footage the other day. It is rated higher than the series 0 watch, which I have been swimming with in the pool and the ocean with for the last year and a half.

And then there are stories like https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...est-ip67-condition-on-iphone-7-and-7.2012313/
There have certainly been more than one like that, and will likely be more, just like there will be plenty that won't really be affected by liquid. I guess the question is whether or not to truly treat it as such and have a device that might not be perfectly sealed in one way or another and have it damaged and then basically be on the hook for getting it replaced.
I bought one of the new MacBook Pro 15"'s this week.. First time since 2013.. Im not saying, Im just saying.
Apple does this so well. When Apple was releasing the Jet Black iPhone 7 commercial, where the actor takes a picture on the hill over looking the city at night, it was showing the reflection of the lights from the city off the back of the Jet Black model. Pure marketing genius to show the new sleek Jet Black color.
Did you not read what I said. It is covered. Under law, for something not to be covered, it must be excluded in the fine print. It is not excluded, therefore it is covered. Also, as I said, there are many here that have had Apple Watches replaced for water damage, myself included. The world liquid is not mentioned in the AppleCare T/C for Apple Watch, meaning its covered. It would have to specifically say, "water damage is not covered".
It is 100% covered.
Same thing applies to them in that case, if not even more so given that their advertisement of that is even more blatant.
You joined today and your first post is bashing Apple.. You might be in the wrong forum. Clearly the point of the ad was to advertise water resistance and stereo speakers. Also, last time I check innovation isn't measured by ads.
According to t-mobile. They dont have a SINGLE iPhone 7+ in stock. Stating that Apple cannot deliver !
"practically magic"
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHH!!!!!!! can't believe this!! stereo speakers!!! indeed the future is now!! WOW!!!!
this is awesome!!, it's fantastic and very impressive the way Apple, the fantastic and impressive presents the new and better than ever iPhone 7 which is amazing and resistant to the wonderful and amazing water.
the claim could be "we should do this at least in the in the first iPad, but we didn't maderfukers"
