What iPhone 7 and Apple Watch water-resistance ratings really meanHow water resistant are Apple's latest iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2, and what do those ratings really mean?
iPhone 7 ships with official water resistance, thanks to a variety of gaskets, seals, and changes to the design intended to help it survive splashes and dunks. Apple Watch Series 2 takes that level of protection a step further, adding clever water expulsion, to allow it to survive regular submersion of swimmers. But what does all that mean?
Here's what Apple has to say about iPhone 7 water resistance on apple.com:
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529. Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.
