If you are waiting for a iPhone 7 water resistant, well, the Apple company indirectly confirmed through a patent that it intends to implement such protection for its terminals, most likely even from the device that will appear during this year.
The patent registered to the Apple company yesterday describes a technique by which iPhone 7, or future models of the iPhone, could prevent water from getting inside the device's casing and causing damage that requires high costs to repair.
Those from Apple describe a component that resembles an umbrella and is applied behind the speaker hole to prevent water from entering, this can be followed by a similar component that would provide additional protection in case too much pressure applied to the first i- would affect the resistance structure.
Moreover, Apple describes a method by which a hydrophobic substance could be applied to the components around the audio port for the speaker, this having the role of providing additional protection in the event that water really penetrates inside the case.
An acoustic port of the acoustic device is covered with a mesh and/or other structure that resists entry of liquid and/or other materials into the acoustic device. Apertures of a housing that are separated by an umbrella section are coupled to the acoustic port such that the umbrella section may cover the acoustic port.
Although Apple made the iPhone 6S more water resistant than any other iPhone released before it, iPhone 7 will be more water resistant, a variety of rumors supporting this theory, a sign that it is as true as it can be and will be put into practice by the Apple company.
Although last year Apple did not promote the iPhone as being water resistant, this year it could do so if it will be able to really protect its devices from prolonged contact with water.
