When I see news of these, I can't help but look back and think of those days when iPhones weren't waterproof, they didn't even withstand a rainy day. Apple made a good move adding the official certification on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, although the previous models (iPhone 6 and 6 Plus) already resisted water without being certified by Apple.
For three generations, iPhone models have been water resistant with their corresponding certification and this is a relief for users, although we do not advise wetting them since we would lose the warranty in all cases, including iPhone X. Today we have a video of a young YouTuber who found an iPhone X submerged in a river for more than 2 weeks and this one worked perfectly despite the bumps and the time it was under water.
The IP67 certification is not the best but it worked perfectly
In this list of resistance certifications, the IP67 that Apple models have, iPhone X, are not the most resistant. Specifically, this certification allows immersion to 1 meter and a maximum of 30 minutes, but in this case it was two weeks and the device endured perfectly as you can see in the video. Also the Youtuber (looking for river treasures) managed to contact the owner of the device and it all ended well.
It is curious how durable these iPhones have despite the certification they have, although as I said at the beginning, the guarantee of this iPhone X was surely lost since the "treasure hunter" also opened it to dry it and this cancels one more point. warranty. In addition, this can cause the impermeability of the device to be canceled now and that is why the owner will have to be careful not to get it wet now that the iPhone has been opened to dry it. In any case she is a lucky user.
