Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

OP, can you share more information? I'm looking at the bill and by means of searching do not find mention of waterproof. Thanks!
I'm assuming it's buried somewhere, this is the exemption that I believe is related:

This very loosely defines industrial/special equipment - I can imagine it would be very easy to a lawyer to make the statement that a waterproof iPhone can fit that category. Something like a Panasonic Toughbook would very easily, and it isn't too far off from an iPhone as far as capabilities and ingress protection are concerned
There are some other ongoing discussions online that are more informed on this issue than I am though.
