Given that the iPhone is rated IP68, or impervious to dust and small particles, this seems like grounds for a return claim (or lawsuit in the states, idk).
There are humidity indicators even outside the IP rated parts. If the technician finds a colored one you're out of warranty by default.

Technically you could just remove those humidity indicators yourself before taking the phone to service, but they'd still find any water damage inside the phone if present - just more time consuming for the tech
