It is water resistant, not water proof.
Means splash resistant, you can't go swimming with it

Well, as I recall, the more recent versions of the Apple Watch are actually waterproof (vs. just being water resistant).It’ll survive going through more than you’d expect. Not gonna lie i occationally shower with my apple watch on. Ive done it with my S0 and now with my S3. Sometimes its on purpose other times i just forget its on. As far as the iPhone... I’ve taken my phone into the shower and just laid it on a small shelf and listened to music. Never had any issues whatsoever. I threw my phone in my girlfriends pool for a $5 bet that nothing would he wrong at all... i won the bet.
Coming from a 6 Plus, the iPhone X is my first waterproof phone. I just can’t bring myself to enjoy the claimed waterproofing. It just feels sooo wrong to get my CAD$1,500 iPhone wet.
Has anybody stress tested it? How reliable is the water resistance in the iPhone X?
Very true BUT I did the same thing with my S0 lolWell, as I recall, the more recent versions of the Apple Watch are actually waterproof (vs. just being water resistant).

Same here. Even took it snorkeling a few times ...Very true BUT I did the same thing with my S0 lol
Thats just from the speaker getting wet. My iPhone did the same thing in the shower.Same here. Even took it snorkeling a few times ...
My iPhone 7 Plus, on the other hand, developed a crackling speaker after being submerged once (only six inches or so, in fresh water) and in the shower twice (not in the water, directly) ... so I'm not taking any chances with my X.
Yeah, I waited about a month before having the phone replaced. The crackling persisted, long after the speaker dried out.Thats just from the speaker getting wet. My iPhone did the same thing in the shower.
Just wanted to give my two cents on the matter...
I got my iPhone X replaced by applecare because the back glass shattered from a fall less than 30 cm, got a new phone, a week later took a shower with it, not even close to the water, wasn't even a hot shower, phone died from a couple of drops of water, took it to the store, and the water damage indicator was red.
Im trying to get my phone replaced without Applecare... Such a mess
Why would you feel the need to take your phone in the shower with you in the first place? And I highly doubt it was just a 'few drops of water', it likely got more saturated than that. Even so, water resistance is merely a rating, not a guarantee. Regardless, it's a risk bringing it in the shower anyways.

I didn't take my phone in the shower, merely put it close, for music purposes, like thousands of people do
got a new phone, a week later took a shower with it
like thousands of people do. Like I have done with the iPhone 5, 6, 6s and now the X.
And are you really assuming that was more than few drops? I'm just sharing my experience, not trying to prove anything to you.
I used my iPhone 7 Plus during scolding hot showers for over a year and it still works perfectly fine. There have been many cases where I had lots of drips of water all over the device. It got to a point where I stopped caring about using my iPhone near or in water.
Given the iPhone X has the same IP67 water resistance, I imagine it would hold up equally as well.
Your mileage may vary!
This is what you said below
He is not trying to invalidate. But at any rate, what @Relentless Power stated is correct. Everytime you bring an iPhone close to water, you risk damaging it as water splash resistance is a game of chance.Again, Im not trying to prove anything to you, I'm just sharing my experience for the guy who asked.
Sorry that you feel the need of convince me that I did something wrong.
In any case, I submitted the issue, and the Apple support told me that the phone should survive these conditions, especially for a brand new phone, so they will be reviewing the problem, and will try to replace the phone.
I encourage you to read better, I stated "...got a new phone, a week later took a shower with it, not even close to the water, wasn't even a hot shower"
If you are trying to invalidate opinions with your thoughts or what you think really happened I don't know why you bother reading forums.
Again I just came here to be helpful to others with my experience, which is clearly, don't trust the water resistant.

And please don't be dismissive of me reading forums and interjecting my own opinion, if you don't like what you read, you can simply ignore it. But the fact is, I am correct about what I stated, even if you don't want to believe it.
