You're technically not supposed to submerge your iPhone; it voids their warranty. (It drives me mad that they do this in their advertisements, but I guess showing people doing things that would void their device's warranty is not false advertising…)
The camera trigger button of the case works by mechanically pushing the volume button on your phone, which when the built-in photo app of your phone is open works to take photos.

It fits many different models, including my iPhone X.
Still I take a couple of precautions with it. First time I used it, I put paper inside of it instead of my phone inside of it and submerged it for a while to see that it didn’t leak. And when I use it I always dry it off completely after use on the outside before opening it and then carefully inspect the inside to be sure that it still didn’t leak. If you do find a leak after use, treat it like you would treat dropping your phone into water unprotected. That is, if there was a leak turn the phone off, dry the outside of the phone with paper and put the phone in an open box with a lot of rice and keep it there for an appropriate amount of time to have the rice absorb as much moisture as possible.
iFixIt claims this is just psychological comfort and offers this advice:
> The real secret to water damage? You don't want to dry it!
> What you want to do is first displace the water—or more specifically, all the conductive stuff in the water. You can do this best by using 90%+ isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a toothbrush. Open your device as soon as you can, take out the battery, and get scrubbing. Submerge the whole motherboard in alcohol, and scrub away.

https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Don%27t_Put_Your_Device_in_Rice._Here%27s_Why...It might sound like a racket to you, but at this point they've saved me something like half a grand net, minimum, on phone repair and replacement, by making it possible for me to do that work myself and thus not have to replace phones nearly so often.
Most recently, this came in useful when I actually did drop a phone in water, just like we're talking about here, and was able to not only clean it out but also replace the battery, which swelled quite alarmingly in the aftermath.
The phone I dropped in the sink had a compromised seal due to a prior drop that bent in a corner of the case - something I did actually have the tool to fix, but hadn't got to actually fixing before the drop, thinking I had time. Of course, I thought I didn't need screen protectors either, until I dropped a phone and broke a screen for the lack of one - so, while I'm apparently pretty good at learning to fix phones, my ability to learn from experience may need improvement. It was the damaged seal that let in enough water to compromise the battery, but even so it stayed working long enough for me to pull a backup before I shut it down and took it apart. They're tougher than their size and cost make them seem, and these are just 1st-gen iPhone SEs - I expect the newer ones with glued-in displays are better still at preventing moisture ingress.
(Glued-in screens are harder to work on, but not impossible; I've fixed a phone with one, for a friend. You just need a heat gun and a lot of patience, is all. Regluing a new display seems like it'd be the hardest part; my friend just needed it working enough for data recovery, but maybe next time I'll get to find out.)
If he has the phone laying around still, you could practice putting the screen back. This way when you need to do so on another phone in the future then you already know how to do it :D
They older models seem to be around $100 and go to about 20 feet.
Newer models seem to be around $350 to $500.
Seems like a lower risk.
*until you do the thing we showed in our commercial and break your phone. When you come to the Genius Bar, we’ll point out that the commercial did in fact warn you to not do the thing we clearly showed in the commercial. Sucker!
The Italian fine is about iPhone ≤ 11, about which they (¿now?) have a similar footnote at https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/specs/
The cars, after they crash, do not work anymore.
I'm curious because most of the commercials with car collisions I could find are actually safety PSAs, not commercials for a specific make and model.
Aside from those, I found some examples of a brand showing the aftermath of a collision (very briefly) in an ad that skirts the line between being a PSA and a testimonial. Interestingly, most of these were from Subaru.
In any case, that's still quite far from the phone commercial, where the phone is put into a situation that voids the warranty, but no physical damage or any indication thereof is shown. A comparable car commercial would need to show a car in a collision (or compromising condition) that performs unrealistically and ultimately gets away completely unscathed.
My intuition would be that most car advertisers wouldn't want to associate their vehicle with such a scenario, nor set unrealistic expectations around safety critical product features, outside of maybe product placement in a James Bond film.
So, I'm very curious, do you have any examples of comparable car commercials that you could share?
