You should read - About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later - Apple Support


Note the section that says:


To prevent liquid damage, avoid these:

  • Swimming or bathing with your iPhone
  • Exposing your iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on
  • Using your iPhone in a sauna or steam room
  • Intentionally submerging your iPhone in water


Also keep in kind that an indication of water exposure or water damage immediately voids your warranty.

The iPhone 7 is water resistant and is rated IP67. This means it can be submerged in water for 30 minutes at a depth of 1M.

No. That is NOT what it means.

The time and depth figures refer to laboratory testing under controlled conditions.


Please stop spreading bad information.
