Exposing your iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on.In the event of a spill, rinse the affected area with tap water, then wipe your iPhone off and dry it. IPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR are resistant to accidental spills from common liquids, such as soda, beer, coffee, tea, and juice. Liquid damage is not covered under warranty, but you might have rights under consumer law. You can watch the video here.Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. I confirmed this by using the Sound app on the Apple Watch which showed the submerged phones were playing back at a few decibels lower than the new phones. The only issue I could find was the speakers on both the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro sounded less crisp and slightly softer at maximum volume compared to two brand-new iPhones that hadn’t been dunked. Again, both were fine other than speaker performance, and three days later – when they were fully dry – even this damage was minor. This is six times deeper than the iPhone 11 rating, and three times deeper than the Pro one. Again, the iPhone 11 sounded softer than the iPhone 11 Pro.įinally, 12 meters, or 39 feet. Other than the same speaker issues, both models survived.īoth touchscreens still worked, the cameras took photos without any evidence of fogging or water ingress on the lenses, and speakers played back audio. The second dive was to 8 meters or 26 feet. Drying off the phones with a lint-free cloth, the screens on both still worked and there was no evidence of fogging on the camera lenses (front or back).īuttons and speakers still worked the iPhone 11 sounded a little waterlogged when playing back an audio clip I recorded before dunking the phones, while the iPhone 11 Pro had some distortion, but was louder than the iPhone 11 playback. The iPhone 11 is only rated for half this depth, so we had no idea what to expect for the less-expensive phone.Īfter 30 minutes, we brought the drone back to the surface with both phones still attached. Teaming up with Sofar Ocean Technologies (formerly known as OpenROV), we mounted a brand-new iPhone 11 and 11 Pro on their underwater drone called Trident We sent the Trident deep down into Monterey Bay in California on a chilly fall day to see what would happen to the iPhones įor the first dive, we wanted to test the claim for the iPhone 11 Pro: 4 meters for 30 minutes. Which was where CNET began – but didn’t end – its testing. Apple says the flagship Pro model exceeds this capability and can manage 4 meters. That means they should survive being immersed in up to two meters of water for up to 30 minutes. You could spill some beer or wine on it, to replicate the typical bar accident, or drop one in a water glass or swimming pool.īut if you have access to an underwater drone, well, it has to be done, right…?Īpple only claims an IP68 rating the both iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. It’s not difficult to conduct a realistic iPhone 11 waterproof test.
