Hello everyone who like technology, today We will discuss about the iPhone 7 waterproof. Many people asking
about that, So on this article We will give little bit information about the
iPhone 7 waterpoof. What
kind of help can we expect from Apple if our phone does get wet? Open it up and
find out.
Fist
off, it's important to remember that Apple never said that their phone is
waterproof. Just splash and water resistant. The terminology is very important
and We will explain you why. The Apple iPhone 7 has an ingress protection of
67,
The
first number is talking about solids, like The dust and the second number is talking about
liduids. A7, at the end, means that the phone can be Immersed in water
shallower than 1 meter for short periods of time. Much different that than
Samsungs IPS68 rating that can be Submersed in water deeper than 1 meter. The
testing standards are different for each number. IP69 is the highest IP rating,
which would be able to withstand steam jet cleaning. Here is one phone with an IP69 rating.
So
when compared to other water resistant phones, Apple is at the lowest end of
immersion protection. The most important thing to remember from this whole
video is that if your phone does get wet, it is not covered by any kind of
warranty whatsoever. It's written pretty clearly on Apple website. "Liquid
Damage not covered under warranty".
There aren't very many ingress points for water on the iPhone 7.
Especially since Apple got rid that headphone jack. Apple saved a significant
amount of money by removing that hole, and not having to waterproof it.
We
also discuss more in depth about the headphone jack in a future video, so
buckle up for that. Start with the big hole in this phone. One you might not
think of. The gap between the edge of the screen and the edge of the phone is
the largest area that needs to be sealed. You can see the adhesive clearly when
I did my bend test, AND I was removing the screen from the phone. The tacky
black substance is water resistant and help keep water and dust out of the
phone.
The
second biggest hole is the charging port. It's got 6 different screws in close
proximity to the port that hold it tight against the frame of the Phone. The
rubber ring around the tip help keep water out, and the lightning port hole is
sealed with this clear plastic. Each of little components on the charging port
ribbon is also protected by the plactic. This is pretty smart, just in case
water Does get inside the phone, the electronics close of the opening will
still be protected.
What
about these two speaker holes on the bottom ?. The one to the right of the
charging port is the loud speaker hole. it has a thin mesh inside the exterior
holes to help keep water out, as well as thin mesh inside the speaker itself.
Also, there are two simple layers of protection. The left side of the charging
port is a microphone hole, and that is still protected by the same time of
waterproof mesh. It lets air and sound through, and as long as the water
pressure is minimal, liquid would rather stick itself to pass through the small openings.
Thumbs
up for the sweet waterproof mesh. What about the earpiece ?
it
is held tightly against the screen of the phone with several screws. A rubber
seal around the front also helps keep water out, along with multiple layers of
that same waterproof mesh, there is even
mesh on the back of the speaker just in case.
What
is keeping water out of the side buttons ?
The power button internal housing is here, along the edge. You pop of these two screws, and normally there would be some kids of rubber sidewall between the buttom layers and the side of the phone, but it looks like Apple is just hoping that that really small hole here work in their favor. if I remove the button entirely, each prong of the button has a little rubber washer on the tip. That will probably help to keep water out, as long as it's extremely shallow water with no pressure. The Sim card trey has a loose fitting little rubber ring around the edge of it. How Apple be able to tell if your phone has been wet? Right here on the motherboard is a water damage indicator. it looks all innocent and white when it's dry. But turns red the moment liquid touches it. The mother board itself is not water resistant at all. Some electronics will be covered in a hydrophobic spray, that repels water.The Liquid will bead up, and roll off, without sticking to the board at all. But as you can clearly see from both water droplets here. The water is clinging very tightly to the mother board. Signaling that it is not treated with any hydrophobic coatings. IF water gets in, water will kill it. You use an iPhone as a your daily device, I would strongly recommend that still avoid water. Just think of the IP67 as an added layer of protection, a slight peace of mind. But do not trust it with regular contact with water, and definitely keep it out of the hot shower. Steam gets in places that regular water does not, and if your phone gets water damaged its entirely your problem and not Apples. What you think ?

Do you trust Apple water resistant measures ?

Samsung even managed to waterproof their headphone jack, it's pretty interesting. Like always my behind the scenes stuff is on sosialmedia, So you can be the first to see high end tech reviewed from the inside. kabarbarutechno.blogspot,com
