Apple iOS 7 Will Make Your iPhone Waterproof-Fiction!

Summary of eRumor:
Social media is abuzz with ads, tweets and videos alleging that the new Apple operating system makes iPhones waterproof.
The Truth:
This is a hoax according to a September 24, 2013 article by Cnet, who called the fake ad a “slam dunk.”
The article said that the ad appeared to be as though it were a genuine Apple ad but “the promises it makes are more extreme than any Apple ad you’ve ever seen. For it teased: ‘Upgrade to iOS 7 and become waterproof.'”
Cnet speculated on the temptation for iPhone users to experiment with this new feature, as the ad boasted that waterproofing was covered by warranty.
The manufacturer said that damages caused to iPhones or iPads from immersion into liquids are not covered by warranty.  Click here for policy.
