Italian Authority fines Apple: It is a hoax that iPhone resists water!

Italy has fined Apple 10 million euros for claims that the iPhone is water resistant. The national competition authority in Italy, AGCM, has stated that Apple's claims did not stand in real world terms and that they are frauds.

According to AGCM, the claim only applies to clean water under laboratory conditions and that Apple does not cover damages as provided in the warranty.

Does the iPhone resist water for 30 minutes and at a depth of 4 meters? Italian AGCM says No.

Apple has launched innovation with water resistance for a range of phones over several years, from iPhone 8 to iPhone 11.

Apple was fined 5 million euros for each of the two violations, the water issue and the warranty. Apple officials have not yet commented on the fine imposed.
