I pulled out the phone and to this day there are still no signs of water damage whatsoever

after insisting to 3 employees and a manager that there was no water damage I was told there is nothing that can be done with the warranty and that I could replace the phone for ~400 Euros

Another interesting feature is the water resistance of the new iPhone 7; in the past, I have gone through two iPhone 6 that have been ruined by water damage and since I have had the 7 I have fallen victim of a prank in which my friends threw buckets of water drenching my clothing and my phone was in my pocket

In Europe they took the phone apart and concluded it had water damage
