If you drop your iPhone, you could be potentially compromising it's water resistance by creating tiny gaps in the seals.
If you drop your iPhone, you could be potentially compromising it's water resistance by creating tiny gaps in the seals.
I have had my iPhone 6 for 4 years and have had around a fair amount of water (running in the rain and such). It's chugging along. My vote is let Apple take a look at it. If there is an issue they can fix if still under warranty (another great reason to get applecare). I dropped an airpod in the sink once and it fell in running water. It survived.I think it sounds like a faulty iPhone if what you describe is accurate.
I wonder whether there is any possibility that not every iphone has the same quality of water proofing applied when it comes off the production line.
You must be kidding. If not, may I ask why you bathe your iPhone everyday?That, to me, is a sensible conclusion. I "bathe" my iPhone 7 Plus every single day in the sink (with tap water). There's never been an issue with that practice for me and I've done it since the release of the iPhone.
Aren't you all forgetting this commercial? They clearly advertise that it can handle heavy rain.I currently use iPhone7. I have used Galaxy S5 before.
It's been two months for iPhone and it's water damaged. The damange is not done by immersing it in a bucket full of water, or a swimming pool or a pond, the damage is caused merely by clicking few snaps and making few calls while it was raining. Yes, while it was raining and that too not heavily.
As per Apple, iPhone7 is not waterproof, it's water resistant. Which means it can easily take on the rains. It's a false claim.
The service center people as well were least concerned about the fact that their product failed. They refused to believe that it's only because of rains. They assumed I am lying and said the only option is to get it replaced for Rs 28,400.
WHEREAS
My Samsung Galaxy S5 works till date just fine. S5 on the other hand was used inside swimming pool and even at a beach under water. It worked absolutely fine every single time.
CONCLUSION
If a company advertises the product incorrectly and it's truly not reliable, there is no point going for it. It's just a show-off thing with too many restrictions. Utter waste of money. Absolute rubbish!

No, I am not kidding. I could wipe my phone every day. I choose to pour tap water over it. It feels cleaner that way to me.![]()

My brother and cousin both swim with their phones every now and then and no issues have been reported. They've been doing it since release last year. They'll film jumping into pools from roofs and stuff. Ive dunked my phone in a water bucket and also rinsed it off once. No issues. My wife's iphone 7 has also been rinsed after spilling juice/alcohol on it. we all have iphone 7's
Agreed. In ideal conditions, the phone is water resistant out of the box. However, folks drop and otherwise abuse their phones regularly. The water resistant seal can therefore not be guaranteed because of the likelihood of it being damage from drops.
How did you have it for 4 years when it was released literally 3 years ago?!![]()
I personally think that the responsible thing for these companies to do is make no mention of resistance at all if they’re just going to reserve the right to deny any water claims anyway.
That’s my opinion, I’ve let it be known before, and plenty disagreed, which is fine. I just don’t think the burden of proof in a warranty claim should ever be in the consumer. If the excuse is “we don’t know you didn’t purposely damage it”, then the claim shouldn’t even be made.
IP67 rating:
The number 6 is for total protection against dust. The second number of the IP rating system refers to protection against liquids. ... Most environmentally sealed Pocket PCs are rated IP67. They are protected from dust and capable of withstanding water immersion between 15 cm and 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Clearly not the case here. What concerns me is that they question the validity of person's claim based on the story they present to Apple as to how the device was damaged by water?
If they were to abide by the rating they advertise for their product they should be asking a customer only two questions:
1: Was the device submerged for longer than 30 minutes?
2: How deep was the water?
Period.
