Spammers can only devolve - it's a case of the Survival of the Unfittest. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As reported here: [^], and on many other technoid sites:
Apple Warranty: “iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529.
Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear.
Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.”
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Good find.

It's not. Just forget all the blah blah blah, think for a minute and you will know why.

Sri Abhinav,
I don't find the disclaimer surprising ... not because I don't trust anything Apple does ... more than I distrust any other company ... but, simply because implementing a forensic procedure that would evaluate whether any device was damaged because water-exposure went beyond a certain IEC ... or any other standard's protocol ... threshold is impossible.
Customer: a passing car splashed my car and the wee littlest drap of ye water passed through me window and landed on me beauty here ... and now the phone is bricked."
Well, on second thought, if a phone can measure humidity ... ?

Faster, smaller, with more energy needed means more energy concentrated in less time and space. Which is by the way the very same functioning principle of a firearm cartridge...

Well spotted.
"Resistant" and "proof" are specific terms in the watchmakers' and electronics industries. From what I've seen of the itoy7 marketing, apple is ignoring the difference.

That's a wonderful sentence, and I am trying to remember the name for the rhetorical form it embodies: obviously repetition; maybe: symploce.
thanks, Bill

It'd have to be epistrophe, because the opening clauses differ -- although it kinda fits into the world of logical fallacies (e.g. affirmation of the consequent).

Each year after the September announcement the iBashing starts anew, but this year the bashing seems a little darker, a little harsher.

The earlier versions were changes to a cool new technology with lots of marketing input (from all manufacturers).
