iPhone and submarines have different limitations. Submarines have a depth limit because they are (mostly) empty shells at very high pressure and the hull implodes, which is not the case of iPhones. For iPhones, being submerged for extended periods of time water will slowly get in at very low rates, but given enough time it will accumulate to significant quantities to do damage.
