Are you sure water isn’t still in there? I’ve found sometimes I have to do it a few times to get it back to that crystal clear tone
Indeed. I appreciate that Gav and Dan took the video from multiple angles. Five minutes well spent.
I heard the first one is a rather big bang.
And the sentence continues, “can come up with”.
Samsung probably didn’t come up with it — they saw Apple doing it, and figured it makes sense.
And it still hasn't finished - you don't get much more slo-mo than that!
I hope no one gets cheeky and decides to press the rewind button and see what happens!
Thats sounds right.
I’m not sure what Apple would have to adjust. Isn’t it just turning the touch detection off when it detects water on the screen (presumably algorithmically, similar to how palm rejection works)? OK, you’d need a different hardware trigger to end water mode, but that’s hardly an insurmountable obstacle. Press both volume buttons at once maybe? That doesn’t have a function yet as far as I know.

Yeah, I’m wondering what they’re on about too.
Is it bad that I have had an Apple Watch 4 since they day its come out, I shower with it, swim in my pool with it, and I have NEVER activated that feature or had it activate.
You Philistine!!!
Actually I don't think it matters. The only issue I, in my limited experience as a chemist, would think possible is the reduced surface tension making the water able to enter those holes. But is there any way to actually clean the holes? Wipe with iso alcohol? Over years I'd imagine residue will eventually build up, but what to do about it. There probably isn't anything that could be done. As long as it's working. I was concerned about flooding my 'AW0'.
i was saying it’s really late to post here on Macrumours as a “news” article. After all it was featured in WWDC announcement

mwah to reach there
WoW, if this doesnt prove that Apple Watch is the most advanced smart watch out there to android folks nothing else will. Really google cant make everything.
Digging this one up about the Ultra.
I'm not convinced the Ultra is actually ejecting water as efficiently on the speakers as the previous models. I think it clears the Mic memberanes really well as it picks up speech pretty good but the speak is still very, very muffled a couple of hours later and just to clarify I have had the S3 and S5 in the past to compare it to. Maybe it's just a bigger cavity where the speaker is and the priority is to get the Mic working.
Any similar observations?
