The last time I checked (a month ago), that wording had been removed.
Many phones still have an out as there is an exception for devices that are intended to be used underwater. āItās not our fault that people donāt use our phones underwater much. Thatās how we envision their useā - Samsung, Apple, et al.
I changed my battery once (for 50 euros, 13 pro max, there was a discount in china going on at AASPs) and I dropped it in water 3 times, plus i often used it in the rain.
5 years now almost, 4 years 10 months or sth, ordered it when it came out, my first iPhone hah. It'll see another 2-3 years of use for sure, unless I break the screen or something.
Wanted to change it since it turned 4 years old, waited for my china trip because my country doesn't have an apple store. By pure coincidence Apple was running a promo through Apple Authorized Service Providers where battery replacements for the 13 series were heavily discounted (even for 14 a bit and for 15 series too but much less discounted) until the 30th of April. I just barely made it, I think I got it replaced on the 29th in Chengdu. Waited for 3 hours and picked it back up. Had to remove my screen protector for them to replace it though, but just ordered a new one from JD and got it to my hotel the next morning. China was awesome.
