No they don't. Even waterproof phones damage due to simple water spill get denied warranty (even from Apple).

AppleCare specifically covers water damage of any kind, and is what I would assume OP would be referring to as a "premium warranty and repair service".
AppleCare isn't a warranty (as the other poster points out).
The standard iPhone warranty disclaims water damage [1] and Apple has been sued in the past for using humidity activated sensors.

That isn't my read.
ApplecCare is as much a warranty as their Apple's phone are guaranteed waterproof.
It's marketing.
The 3 year warranty add-ons is an insurance. One can get an insurance for any device.
