One question... what's in front of that iPhone lens?

Problem is how could you or Apple prove that you stayed within the iPhone 11 ranges for water resistance, you could go diving to 100m with the phone and claim it broke after falling in the toilet!

Rock and a hard place unfortunately

Not really... every iPhone since the 6 have a sensor that gives readings for barometric pressure.

Nothing hard to throw against it? Strange. That's what I'm really concerned about. Not a storm of rubber duckies.

Also, it would be more meaningful to put a competitor phone in there to see what happens. My guess is it would ace the test like the iPhone. My iPhone 4 might have aced it too. I dropped that thing on all kinds of surfaces.

You should keep using your superior iPhone 4.

There is a mechanical sensor on pcb that turns red as soon as it comes in contact with water and your iphone is water damaged without you even knowing it if everything works. It can happen due to rain or heavy humidity if you are exposed to those conditions for a longer period of time. It has nothing to do with the dept. If they wanted they could examine the board for water damage and determine the amount of water exposure but since they know their ip68 seals are not permanent unlike other manufacturers there is no way for them to know how long the phone has been in the water, aall they can say is that phone has been underwater. Just like in their commercials
 
All three videos were very well done!

And I'm certainly not disappointed with the comments from the sad while they're getting a major case of the shakes.
 
I watched this ad again.

Gosh it is lame.

If anything, it makes me think the iPhone is so weak they’re showing off how rubber duckies and bread won’t break it
 
I love all the posts essentially asking if glass still breaks. Yes. Every glass phone you drop from a meter+ will crack if the impact is over a small enough surface like the corner.
 
I know this is unrelated to the ads themselves, but can anyone find the song "Dvolution" by SOONDCLUB? I can’t find it anywhere online, and I really like the song itself.
 
I don’t care if it survives a nuclear bomb. Notch = no sale.

*looks lovingly over at my iPhone 8 — the last aesthetically-pleasing iPhone Apple produced*

Don't you have to wear gloves at work? I think Touch ID wouldn't work then, am I right?

How can they claim the IP rating makes them more durable but then deny warranty claims for water damage!?

I believe that would be covered under accidental damage on your AppleCare+. I don't see your point.

Would you honestly touch your iPhone with soiled latex gloves? They get removed and thrown away before their iPhone is ever touched, I'm pretty sure.
 
All the comments about drop test...don't worry the soon idiots will posting drop test's on you tube, proving once again that dropping glass on to concert will break...ground breaking!
 
they always say they are stronger than last year but then I see more cracked iPhone than all other phones. I am sure sheep would be like. coz they have millions of phones sold of course I see more.

OK

I think the 4S was the last good looking iPhone. :p

Anyway, the notch is like marriage. You compromise and get used to it.

So they advertise water resistance yet don’t fix the phone when it has water related damage

Well to be fair, I never heard of a water resistance phones getting water damage from rain.

On the other hand, Samsung advertised their phones underwater. LOL
 
What a shoddy demonstration of durability. I didn't recognise any of those objects as being dangerous to my phone in the years I've been using a mobile phone. TBF I still own a 6S so perhaps modern iPhones would break when vegetables and rubber bracelets hit them, I don't know.
 
The "It's tough out there" commercial was stupid. Really, really stupid. One of their worst ads in years.

Nobody:
Apple: Let's throw only soft things at the iPhone and then say that it's super tough!
