With every generation of iPhone, Apple works harder to improve the strength and durability of its productsWith the iPhone 6s it is even more the intention of Apple when it comes to strengthening these devices.
To silence movements such as the bendgate (iPhone 6 that bends) and others, Apple has introduced a new type of aluminum (7000 aluminum) in the metal case of the iPhone tripling your resistance to being bowedThe same thing happens with the screen, the new iPhone has the most resistant screen ever seen in an iPhone, it is not the rumored sapphire crystal but given the good results of the drop tests we are satisfied.
However And with the water?, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus remember it lasted only 10 seconds under the water before turning off completely, something that gave us very little margin of reaction to remove them from the water in time, in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Apple included plastic protections on the buttons to keep water at bay (with very little effectiveness), however the new iPhones are surprising in this regard, by some means Apple has managed to make the new iPhones capable of lasting more than 1 hour underwater and continue to function perfectly, a record for a smartphone that, let us remember , it is not submersible nor does it have any type of IPX certification.
Given the high resistance to liquids of the new iPhones, the possible use of electronic device processing that it offers crossed my mind the HZO company that allows to have electronic devices completely waterproof and protected for over 20 years Without any type of chemical application by the user, it is a process that they carry out on the electronic components before assembling the device.
However, after watching the following video, it has become clear to me that this is not the case:
As we can see, after several submersions, at the third the new iPhones are no more than half an hour without the water being able to penetrate the terminal screen and begin its destructive journey through its interior, leaving them practically useless, the question that arises is, Only the screen was affected?
After seeing how after an hour or even in the first tests of the second video the device comes out unharmed or how after they are turned off by water they still continue to show signs of life, it is inevitable to think that the only component that has been affected is the screen, this would be solved by replacing it or drying it to see if it works.
However, we are not going to submerge our new iPhone, so the only thing we should know (and be happy about it) is that now We will have much more than 10 seconds to remove our iPhone from the water with the assurance that it will still be alive, a detail that is appreciated after releasing the tremendous amount that one of these devices is worth.
