iPhone 7 was recently launched and contains so many features that will blow your mind, among this feature is the making of the phone to be water resistant and water proof. Of course, many smartphone makers like Samsung and Sony have made water proof smartphone already and almost all iPhone lovers have been expecting iPhone that will be waterproof. In line with the expectations, iPhone 7 include in its features shatterproof, water resistance and water-proof.
Waterproof, water resistant and splash resistant may have meant something once, but their meanings have been blurred into marketing speak. Broadly speaking, if it’s waterproof or water resistant, a dunk in the toilet isn’t going to kill the phone. But along with the marketing messages should be what’s called an IP rating – a number that donates the level of water and dust-proofing to the IEC standard 60529.
Water and phones now mixes slightly better than it used to. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are rated to IP67 standards, marked at 1m of fresh water for 30 minutes. Samsung’s latest top-end smartphones the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and the troubled Note 7 are rated to IP68 standards, and so are technically more protected against water ingress.
When something is rated to IP67 standards what it really means is that a device will resist water ingress up to the pressure of being stationary under 1m of water for 30 minutes. IP68 is rated at a higher pressure, but is dependent on the testing. It could only be a slightly higher pressure equivalent to that of being stationary under 1.5m depth of water for 30 minutes.
When moving through the water or impacting with it, say when you jump into a pool, the pressure can be a lot higher than simply being immersed in it. It might survive, but it also might break a seal.
The iPhone 7 is officially water-resistant, but make sure to note that it's not absolute waterproof. That means you shouldn't take it into a pool or other body of water to try and take cool under-water shots with the iPhone 7's fancy new cameras. During its iPhone event on Wednesday Apple said the iPhone 7 has IP67 water-resistance, which means it's technically capable of working down to one meter (about 3.3 feet) under water for up to 30 minutes.
However, you might want to keep the iPhone 7 somewhere safe when you're around a pool just in case someone decides to push you in. Still, Apple won't cover water damage on the iPhone 7 under the warranty, so you're better off keeping it out of water when you can. If it were waterproof, the phone could potentially go a lot deeper and last a lot longer under water. But it's not, so don't take it diving.
Water detection
In addition, a very important function, when the iPhone 7 /7 plus detects the liquid through the iPhone's Lightning port, the iOS 10 system will warn users to avoid water damaged.
iPhone and most iPod devices that were built after 2006 have built-in Liquid Contact Indicators that will show whether the device has been in contact with water or a liquid containing water. And if liquid damages an iPhone, iPad or iPod(for example, coffee or a soft drink), you can see Liquid Contact Indicators (LCIs) from the outside.
