Eg: IPhone SE is said to be water resistant only upto 30 minutes and 1m depth. When something is water resistant, shouldn’t it be resistant irrespective of how long its soaked? What happens post the time limit or depth?
In: Engineering
There is an international standard for testing water resistance.
The parameters given reflect the test that the device was able to pass. No doubt, Apple considered subjecting the device to more stringent tests, and presumably didn’t think that it would pass reliably.
If you exceed the parameters of the test, “nobody knows” (which means “nobody is willing to guarantee”) what might happen. It might be fine, it might get water inside. Regardless, you exceeded the listed water resistance, so if something bad happens it’s “your fault” and Apple doesn’t have to fix it under warrantee.
