Is iPhone 7 waterproof? And what is the IP67 standard

Apple announced the iPhone 7, and among the new features is the phone's resistance to water and dust, and at the same time Apple published a picture at the end of its promotional video telling that the warranty does not cover water damage to the device? So is the iPhone 7 waterproof? or not? And what does it mean that it is IP67 waterproof

iPhone7_IP67_1

Many followers were shocked by the image at the end of the promotional videos for the iPhone 7 and asked how Apple announces that the phone is waterproof and at the same time the warranty does not cover faults caused by liquids !!!

iPhone7_IP67_3

The iPhone 7 is really waterproof, but with the IP67 standard, so what is this international standard must first be?

IP67 standard?

It is a global standard IP, abbreviation of the word (Ingress Protection) used in all electronic devices to assess the quality and sensitivity of the device against dust and water as well as heat, and it consists of a pair of numbers divided into two numbers and a Latin letter may be added to it at the end of the code, where each number has its meaning . The first number indicates the degree of resistance of the device to dust and solid parts, and the second indicates the resistance of water and liquids.

For example, the Galaxy S7 devices carry the IP68 standard, and compared to the iPhone that carries the IP67 standard, it is clear that the two devices have the same resistance to dust, but the Galaxy S7 is better at bearing water.

And what it specifically means

6 - In dust resistance Means that the device has been tested to resist dust for more than eight hours.

7 - In resistance to waterE means that it is possible to be submerged in water with a depth of less than 1 meter, provided that the time is not more than 30 minutes.

So why does Apple tell Apple that its warranty does not cover liquid damage? Because the iPhone 7 can be damaged by liquids, so some people may think that they can use their phone while bathing in the sea or the pool, or take pictures under water, and this is not correct, these parameters were measured in laboratories and in prepared conditions and the device is in standby mode and without pressing any buttons.

Your device might survive if you drop it in the pool and quickly retrieve it, or if you shower and get splashed, or if you drop it in the toilet and quickly retrieve it. But it won't last if you treat it like a submarine. They're designed to withstand a certain amount of water and for a certain amount of time, and they won't prevent damage from water.

iPhone7_IP67_2

That the iPhone l iPhone be waterproof with the IP67 standard is a good step from Apple, and we hope in future generations that this resistance will increase, but we wanted in this article not to exaggerate the matter and to see the brothers in Snapchat do a Snap under the water so it comes out and his phone is damaged.


Everything Channel converted the article into a video ...

Is the water resistance feature important to you? What is the best feature that makes you buy an iPhone 7?

Peace be upon you, I am harmed by some people’s announcement that the iPhone is water resistant. I washed my iPhone 7 with water and Fairy after it was touched by a child with fish in his hand. The phone still smelled bad. I washed it with water, but it didn’t work. I washed it with water and Fairy and the smell actually went away, but the home button was completely broken. I took it to warranty. They said they will refund you after a few days. I actually received a message from them that the device was exposed to liquid and is not covered by warranty. If you want to replace the device with a new one, you have to pay the difference, which is 1,600 Saudi riyals, excluding the added tax. May God punish them. Arab calculators are scammers. Beware of them. The device they replace for you is disassembled by them. They fix it through them and give it to you as if it is new. So beware, brothers. There is no such thing as a warranty. They give you a new device. All this talk, by God Almighty, is lies and fraud. They also took 105 riyals from me for the inspection because I refused to replace it and pay the difference. My device is new. They charged me 500 and I am paying. A thousand and six hundred, may God punish them. They opened the device and I stipulated that they would not open the device. They said that they do not have an opening, we only have programming and replacement. When I blocked them to take my device, I was surprised that it was opened. I asked them, “Why did you open it?” They said, “How?” Okay, we check it. We have to open it. I told them that you said that you do not have an opening, only programming and replacement. They said that you signed the terms and conditions, and I did not read the terms. They were all in English, and I do not know English. In general, I accepted the reality and took my device disassembled and paid them 105 riyals for the examination. Arab computers are scammers. I warn you against them and others like them. There is no such thing as a warranty. They change a device that has been disassembled and the defect in it has been repaired. They change it for you on the basis that it is new. This is how they work. They take people’s devices in the event that it is a manufacturing defect and deceive you into giving them someone else’s device. They repair it and give it to someone else. This is what I discovered. They are first-degree scammers.

Is it possible to take photos underwater ??

    If the water protection feature is available, it is possible to take pictures underwater, but according to the standard mentioned by Apple, it cannot be immersed in water for more than half an hour at a depth of less than one meter. We also think that the device’s warranty is not related to this feature, because the company does not know how long the iPhone was underwater and cannot know the depth that caused it damage. This feature weakens with time, duration of use, and natural conditions (heat, cold, and humidity) because the protection is rubber that prevents water leakage at all entrances.

    As for charging the iPhone 7, it is done via a wired charger like other series that preceded it, and wireless charging is a strong magnetic field and its effect is in a very small and limited distance of centimeters, and it is not Bluetooth that charges wireless phones; Bluetooth is a method of sending and receiving information in a distance of meters only

comments user

In it, new news confirms that Apple has retracted the validity of this feature, so if you cannot venture by submerging the iPhone in water, let's wait for practical experiments after its release.

A failed device without a stethoscope and scratches quickly, in addition to its high price and not working in water. So why are all these advertisements? It is against water

    The video explains in a simple and very illustrative way with pictures and writing in addition to the sound. I liked the way this channel works, but you should not be long and always get to the heart of the subject, so I suggest that you, the iPhone Islam team, work with this channel to provide you with short videos that explain the most important topics through which information can be conveyed using pictures and sound, which is one of the best ways to convey information. I remember Tariq’s videos that were broadcast through the application every week. They were somewhat long and the Egyptian dialect does not encourage this for all Arabs around the world. I suggested classical Arabic at that time as the best way to deliver, but the presentation with moving and still pictures and sound in the background and mixing other videos inside is better than your previous method, and from here I encourage you to work with this channel to provide you with videos even once a week. My greetings to the “Everything” channel

    Your question has no answer, Apple is always working in secret and never mentioning the name of the next device, so all the talk is about speculation and leaks before conferences.

Beloved brother, your words are not correct
The standard IP67 enables you to swim with the device and take pictures underwater without problems, provided that it is no more than a meter deep under the water and that it does not remain under the water more than half an hour.

Apple knows if the guarantee is there. Most of the idiots will sit and play with the cell phone in May .. The idea is a simple protection from the water so you can swim with it hahaha

There is also a very important point that the warranty does not include wear and tear with the passage of time, that is, after a period and suppose a year or more, the adhesive and water-repellent materials lose their ability to insulate and this is not included in the warranty.

Sony phones, when they supported the water resistance, we filmed inside the sea, inside the pool, and in the rain, honestly, it was excellent. I remember it was the Z3.

After using the iPhone for 6 years, the iPhone often falls in the ablution place in the mosque and survived all the shocks, and once a cup of tea was spilled on it and nothing happened and once I forgot it in my brother's car and found it closed due to the high temperature of 44 degrees
IPhone 6s Plus I own a phone I own
As for the phone, the longest 3GS life so far, keep it
IPhone 4S I didn't like, I just bought it for the death of Steve Jobs
The iPhone 5 enjoyed it the most, the iPhone loved everything with it, and the thing I used the most for photography. As for the 6s Plus, I didn't like it. It didn't make me feel like an iPhone.

    Why not cover the water resistance of the warranty? We know about Apple that it does not add the advantage of not being creative in it.

    sweet-dreams

    Because, my dear brother, if you cover the warranty, fools will come and dive into the mobile phone below XNUMX meters, and if the cell phone is destroyed, it will simply go to Apple and change the device, and also the fraudsters will benefit from this point, for example if they are bored of his mobile phone and want to change it with a new for free All he has to do is throw the mobile overboard and take it After two hours, he will go to Apple and take a new phone 😀, so the warranty does not include this

Muhammad al-Harbi

Really strong Apple phones, I am a normal iPhone 6 Plus that came out of my hand in the sea and went out all the way, because I was sitting on a snap, and it went out quickly. The mobile is working and the song is on and not off. On the contrary, it has now XNUMX hours like sweetness.

Apple gives you the advantages and says it is true, unlike the rest of the companies that adopt the shiny feature without any tangible benefits or announce the feature of locking the screen or controlling the screen with an eye print without being tried and feasible.

    comments user
    Mustafa Vaughn

    If you mean an eye print on a Samsung Note 7, then you are wrong, because it works at an imaginative speed.
    With medical glasses and sunglasses and without them, very fast.
    Waiting for iPhone 12 Perhaps Apple will change.

Finally, a person thought like mine. I also said that this feature is a protection, not a feature, meaning someone who dissolves water on your phone is destroyed, like before. I see it as a very good feature.

The standard is clear. The most important thing, do not go down more than a meter deep, and do not exceed the time more than half an hour, and the water is sweet and not salty. The warranty is not lost, Apple

The feature, even if the user does not care much about it, is required because the device is sometimes exposed to falling in the middle of a liquid or rain, or any kind of these simple accidents, it remains a question of who wants to take his device to the pool or the sea. This remains confined to an elite group of users .. Each case is a good addition and an excellent step from Apple, and we hope that in the coming releases, the devices will be more saturated with good and useful specifications and additions.

comments user

That standard is the one that fits with ordinary users because they already do not need to dive into the depths, there is only the possibility that the phone will fall into a pool of water or a swimming pool and attract it quickly and will not be damaged and this is sufficient to make it a safe phone against water and whoever wants to dive or photograph under the water there Accessories in the form of transparent waterproof covers that you put your phone inside
