In the summer we'll see a few of these sensors with no other damage or signs of liquid, this is Arizona so it's just hot and dry. It’s not just humidity, it’s also sweat.

Apple repaired it anyway but they told me the sensor was triggered and that they see it happen a lot, probably led to the overall policy change.

I think an internal sensor would resolve this problem too, but might not help with humidity.
