One of the novelties that the new iPhone 7 and 7 PLUS bring is their resistance to water. This added value that is added to the new flagship of Apple,is one of the reasons why many people have decided to buy it. But many do not know that behind that specification of resistance to splashes, water and dust, there is a small print that we should all know.
Water has been, and continues to be, one of the most important enemies of the iPhone. Many people have been affected by this problem and it cannot be avoided, ever, your mobile gets wet.
In fact, such was the number of queries we received asking us what to do when an iPhone gets wet, that we decided to make a tutorial in which we explained how to act in such a mishap.
THE FINE PRINT OF THE IPHONE 7'S WATER, SPLASH AND POLE RESISTANCE:
In the specifications of the new iPhone 7, Apple it tells us the following:
We've done our research and here's what that rating means:
But don't get your hopes up. If you notice, the "Resistance to splashes, water and dust" is accompanied by a number that gives us extensive information at the end of all the specifications of the new Apple smartphone. This one reads like this
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant. The tests have been carried out under control in a laboratory and both models have obtained the IP67 rating according to the IEC 60529 standard.Splash, water and dust resistance is not permanent and may diminish with regular use. Do not try to charge the iPhone if it is wet. Consult the user manual before cleaning or drying it. Warranty does not cover liquid damage
So you already know. If the iPhone stops working due to water, Apple is not responsible for any possible damage. This means that you would have to pay, out of pocket, for the repair.
WHY DOES APPLE LIST IT AS WATERPROOF?
What you want to avoid is people putting iPhone in water because it's resistant to water. We will clarify that a waterproof product does not mean that it is aquatic.
For the normal use of a device with these characteristics, which is used on the beach, swimming pool, in the rain, this new specification makes its daily use safer.Apple doesn't want us to worry, as we have done up to now, when our phone accidentally gets wet.
That is why Cupertino's have added this novelty to their phones. He wants us to take worries away and enjoy his products without fear.
