a: Liquid ~
b: Kryptonite
What:

If you ever take your iPhone into the Genius Bar at your local Apple store, the very first thing they'll do is shine a little light into the phone to check for liquid damage. If they see it, they say, "Sorry, it's out of warranty." Liquid damage is the main cause of a voided warranty. "
