An iPhone 12 is water resistant. What happened to yours? Had it been opened? Replacing a battery/screen can break the seal if done incorrectly.

It had never been opened. It fell in a pool. It stayed there about 30 seconds (1m deep). When I fished it out, screen was off and it never turned back on.

Sorry to hear that. It's an unusual outcome and strongly suggests the seal was somehow broken (or bent). How old was the phone?

I was surprised as well, the phone was fairly recent, don’t remember exactly but less than 2 years for sure.
