The Nikon 1 AW didn't use an iPhone's sensor, but a 1'' sensor, like the other bodies in the Nikon 1 series. The sensors used in an iPhone are much smaller than 1''.
I actually think the Nikon 1 AW filled a niche that nobody else tackled up to this day.
The only waterproof camera with a reasonable sized sensor is the SeaLife DC2000, a camera that features a 1'' sensor, it can go as deep as 60m but the ergonomics are horrible, it's slow and uses a fixed lens.
I'd have purchased a Nikon 1 AW if they had carried on with it.
I think that MFT could have a niche in scuba diving, if they were to release a set of fully waterproof bodies and lenses down to at least 25 meters.
