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

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 !!!

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.

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 ...
