This iPhone 15 Pro survives 30 hours underwater without a scratch

The following testimonial from an iPhone 15 Pro user left us speechless. According to what was posted on Reddit, there was walking on a dock and received a blow which caused the aircraft to fall into a lake. Not satisfied with what happened, he found a person who could continue his search. The worst part is that it took a day for this research to be undertaken. Fortunately They managed to locate it and, to their surprise, it was on.. Did you manage to survive in the lake?

An iPhone stayed on even though it was submerged in water for more than a day

The approximate distance it was submerged during the 30 hours was 3.5 meters. In order to keep him alive, the user’s instinct was to immediately turn it off and clean it. He placed it in a resealable bag containing moisturizing gel packs.

It took him a whole day to get it out and he was able to turn it back on. It occurred to him to download an app called Sonic to expel the remaining water from the iPhone 15 Pro as if it were an Apple Watch (it’s possible with this video). As more and more drops of water came out of the speakers and turn it off again to leave it in the resealable bag for another day.

Two weeks have passed since the event and the iPhone 15 Pro works perfectly. It’s still unclear how he managed to survive in the lake, but he’s so happy that he also claims to be happy that he didn’t go to the trouble of buying a new iPhone.

How water resistant is iPhone?

In case you don’t remember, iPhones have been water resistant since the iPhone 7. They are, according to Apple, splash, water and dust resistant; “tested under controlled laboratory conditions.” Since the iPhone 12 has an IP68 rating, which means it can withstand a maximum depth of 6 meters for up to 30 minutes.. Previous models such as iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max support up to 4 meters maximum depth; iPhone 11, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max support up to 2 meters and previous iPhones, starting with the second and third generation iPhone.

Due to normal use of the device, the resistance conditions may decrease.so the iPhone 15 Pro user might have been more than lucky that their iPhone wasn’t one before the iPhone 12 and it was apparently a freshwater lake.

Apple recommends doing the following when an iPhone gets wet:

• Rinse the affected area if your iPhone gets splashed with a liquid other than water
• Clean iPhone with a soft, lint-free cloth
• Dry the iPhone by gently tapping it with your hand. The Lightning or USB-C connector view should be facing down.
• Leave the iPhone in a dry place where it can get some air.for example by placing it in front of a fan with cold air directly to the Lightning or USB-C port. Apple advises leaving it with natural airflow for up to a full day
• Do not try to dry it with compressed air, an external heat source, or insert any object into the port. of the iPhone. Don’t use the old reliable rice bag either, Apple says the particles could damage the iPhone

If the iPhone has liquid in the port when connecting a cable, the system will automatically alert the detection.

We can say that this user’s iPhone 15 Pro survived as if it were a miraculous act. Something similar could be equated to a fall of the device. There is no accidental blow so hard that could stop it from working. Sometimes the simplest falls cause more damage than a seemingly fatal fall.

In the case of water accidents, this does not seem to be deep enough because we have already had recordings of other cases in which the iPhone manages to work even if submerged for longer. An iPhone 12 survived 3 months submerged in the Estanislao River in California and another iPhone 11 survived a week 7 meters deep in a lake. Today we succeed in recording this history.
