One of the important ones iPhone 7 news it is water resistant with IPX7 certification, which means we will be able to use the terminals under water under certain conditions specified by Apple. The exact same type of certification is offered by the Apple company, including for the Apple Watch, so we are talking about an extension of the feature to iPhone terminals.
Many people do not know what this IPX7 certification of the iPhone 7 means, so below I will explain in what conditions you will be able to use the device underwater. The specifications differ from one manufacturer to another, but based on what now exists at Apple, we can get an idea about what the company will allow with its new device.
More precisely, the iPhone 7 should be able to be used at a maximum of 1 meter under water for a maximum of 30 minutes, which is the current situation with the Apple Watch. Theoretically, a manufacturer can also allow operation up to 3 meters under water with IPX7 certification, but everything depends on how well the case is sealed so that water does not penetrate the internal components.
iPhone 7 is water resistant with IPX7 certification, what does this mean?
Based on this iPX7 certification for the iPhone 7, we will no longer have to worry if we drop the terminals from our hands in a container with liquid, but we will also be able to use them in the sea. The main condition is not to keep the device for more than 30 minutes at a maximum of 1 meter under water, or not to keep it less at a greater depth.
If these limits imposed by Apple are exceeded, then water will get inside the iPhone 7 and affect the internal components, and from here you can realize for yourself that the warranty will be voided. Many iPhone terminals have broken over time due to contact with water, and the Apple company now wants to solve the problem.
More resistant than iPhone 6S
iPhone 7 will not be the first water-resistant Apple smartphone, those from Cupertino are also making the iPhone 6S much more resistant to contact with liquids, as you can see above. We are not talking about IPX7 certification, but about a much higher resistance than in the case of any other iPhone terminal released to date.
With the iPhone 7, things will get even better, as the Apple company will further improve the water resistance and offer greater protection for us. All the details will be announced tomorrow by the Apple company and of course I invite you to iDevice.ro to discuss everything.
