OCU denounces Apple for misleading iPhone 7 advertising

One of the main novelties that the iPhone 7 brought us, like the Apple Watch Series 2, is water resistance, a resistance that allows us to use our device under water for a certain time. But like most manufacturers, this water resistance is not entirely correct, since as usual, manufacturers specify in warranty terms that liquid damage is not covered, so it is very likely that if we insist on paying attention to the company's announcements we will end up with a beautiful device in the form of a paperweight.

Sony was one of the first companies to start launching supposedly waterproof terminals, followed by Samsung, but both companies were forced to specify that water damage was not included in the terms of the warranty as was Apple. after the launch of their latest device, in fact, despite announcing it, none of the companies released any ads where you could see the smartphone in full operation under water.

The Organization of Consumers and Users has just denounced the Cupertino-based company before the General Directorate of Consumption of the Community of Madrid for conduct misleading advertising that can mislead the user and where he requests the withdrawal of the company's last advertisement in addition to sanctioning it so that the sales originated by these alleged characteristics have not compensated him for misleading advertising.

It seems that the OCU has wanted to curl the curl, since in the announcement, we can see how the terminal it is not used at any time under water, where if it is more possible that it can be damaged, but it is only splashed with water, a resistance specification that all the phones that supposedly are. In particular, I am a user of a Sony Z3 and I recognize that if it is submersible and withstands the entry of water very well, even in the sea, where I have tested it continuously on several occasions, as long as the covers are tightly closed and the terminal is washed with fresh water after finishing use
