The iPhones launched in recent years all have good dustproof and waterproof capabilities. Although they also reach the IP68 rating, different models have different abilities to cope with water depths. The iPhone 11 can only stay in water up to 2 meters deep for 30 minutes. Recently, an iPhone 11 let us know that the actual water resistance is far stronger than Apple’s official figures.
iPhone sank to the bottom of the lake during rescue
Brazilian media recently reported that Breno, a local student, encountered a woman drowning while he was pawing a canoe, so he immediately jumped into the lake to try to rescue her. The boy successfully rescued the drowning lady back to the shore, but his iPhone 11 fell to the bottom of the lake during the rescue. A week later, diving instructor Edinho posted on social platforms, saying that he found an iPhone at the bottom of the lake at a depth of 7 meters. Since the phone was locked, he hoped to find the owner through the power of netizens, and the post was finally discovered by Breno after a round of forwarding.
Picked up by diving instructor a week later
The iPhone 11, which meets the IP68 rating of the IEC 60529 standard, can theoretically be submerged in water up to 2 meters deep for up to 30 minutes. Breno, who successfully rescued people, his iPhone 11 was also successfully rescued by the diving instructor a week later, and it was miraculously undamaged and still functioning normally. However, according to Apple’s official website, the iPhone’s splash, water, and dust resistance features are not permanent, and may degrade with wear and tear caused by daily use.
