And here I was hoping that it would float and use the Taptic Engine to move around the water like some sort of phone equivalent of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
That screams "developers stay away". I can't stand not having a wired connection to devices (Apple Watch). It makes the user helpless to perform diagnostics.I have a feeling that the iPhone 7 or 7s will be labeled as water resistant similar to the Apple Watch. There's a chance that Apple might go the inductive charging route with a diagnostic port for fixing issues, and the new device may be too thin for a headphone jack so it could ship with bluetooth headphones. They could also use a built-in programmable SIM with no port access. If they implement Touch ID into the display using 3D Touch, the thing will be rather closed up and ready for easier waterproofing.
On unrelated note, are we throwing iPhones in water to celebrate water/life on Mars perhaps? XD
Apple better not claim water proofing next year - these jack asses will take up the offer and dump the phone in the oceanI think it'll be more safe to say that its water resistant.
As water is a good conductor of electricity I'd say minerals or not it'll short out components!It depends on what's in the water I think.
Regular distilled water doesn't have any minerals, so it doesn't short out the components inside the phone.
It's not water itself that shorts out the components.
(If I'm wrong, don't yell at me. I'm not a physicist.)
Perhaps when you sign up for the developer program they send along a few diagnostic cables. Or they could just conceal a lightning port behind a door like on the Apple Watch. You'll just need to remove the door with some sort of tool and you'll be good to go. IDK.That screams "developers stay away". I can't stand not having a wired connection to devices (Apple Watch).

Idiots only if the don't generate enough views to cover the expenditure. If they make money, then not too idiotic at all.Idiots with too much time and money on their hands.
It has come full circle and we can finally abolish any scandal being turned into "-gate".1000 bucks says tis will be spun into "watergate"

so a swimming pool is filled with chlorine or bromine, would like to have seen a comparable submersion test in 4 feet of "regular" water for comparison sake. or 2" of swimming pool water. the ions and chemicals in the pool could react differently to the phone's internals than plain water.
This is excellent for most people. The majority of water damage I've seen for phones comes from dropping them into the sink, toilet or bathtub. This should provide plenty of protection for those environments and I'm sure will be welcome by those who have toddlers. People aren't going to go swimming with their phone.
