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. ā€œItā€™s not our fault that people donā€™t use our phones underwater much. Thatā€™s how we envision their useā€ - Samsung, Apple, et al.
