In theory, the iPhone 12 is waterproof to a depth of 6 meters for 30 minutes.
Some stories about iPhone water resistance capability They look like something from a Hollywood movie. Like this time an iPhone 11 survived for a week in a 7 meter deep lake. Today we bring you another one of these stories, this time about A diver who found an iPhone covered in algae after 3 months underwater…
By diving into the Stanislas River

An iPhone survives after 3 months underwater
The iPhone 12 is water resistant with IP68 certificationwhich indicates that it is capable of continuing to operate at a depth of 6 meters for 30 minutes. Apple iPhone products are not designed to be submerged in water, in fact the company warns that water damage is not covered under warranty.
Anyway, this iPhone 12 doesn’t need it because after spending 3 months in water it continues to function apparently normally.
On November 12, Lee found an iPhone 12 covered in algae between some rocks from the bottom of the Estanislao River in northern California.
I cleaned it and let it dry for a few days
Surprisingly, the iPhone 12 I didn’t have an unlock code. Lee was thus able to access the photos and contacts on the phone. The most recent file on the device was a video shot in the river on September 4suggesting that the iPhone 12 had been submerged in the river since that day.
At this time, Lee has not been able to find out who the iPhone 12 belongs to. But he plans to investigate by querying some of the contacts stored on the device.
As we indicated previously, Apple does not cover repair costs for damage caused by submerging an iPhone in water. So, if your iPhone has been underwater for a long time, we recommend you follow these steps. The fact that this iPhone spent up to 3 months at the bottom of a river indicates that this is an iPhone 12 that is definitely worth the money. He’s a survivor!
