This iPhone 15 Pro survives underwater for 30 hours without a scratch
This story surprised us, one user’s iPhone 15 Pro managed to survive after being submerged in a lake for 30 hours
The following statement from an iPhone 15 Pro user left us speechless. According to what was published on Reddit; I walked on the dock and received a blow that caused the device to fall into the lake. Not happy with what happened After searching he found someone who could go. The worst part was that a day had to pass before this call could be made. fortunately They managed to find it and to their surprise it was open.. Did you manage to survive in the lake?
iPhone stayed on despite being submerged in water for more than a day
The distance he stayed under water for 30 hours was approximately 3.5 meters. To keep him alive The user’s instinct was to immediately turn off the device and clean it. She placed it in a resealable bag with moisture gel packets inside.
It took him a full day to get it back out and he managed to get it back on. He thought of downloading an app called Sonic to get rid of the remaining water on the iPhone 15 Pro. as if it were an Apple Watch (possible with this video). As more water drops come out of the speakers and I resealed it to leave it in a resealable bag for another day..
It’s been two weeks since the event and the iPhone 15 Pro is working perfectly. It’s not yet clear how he managed to survive in the lake, but he’s so happy he claims he’s also glad he didn’t bother buying a new iPhone.
How water resistant is iPhone?
If you don’t remember, the iPhone has been water resistant since the iPhone 7. According to Apple, it is splash, water and dust resistant; “tested under controlled laboratory conditions.” The iPhone 12 has an IP68 rating, meaning 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 maximum depth of up to 4 meters; iPhone 11, iPhone XS, and iPhone
It is possible that resistance conditions may decrease due to normal use of the device.So the iPhone 15 Pro user could be extremely lucky that his iPhone is not an iPhone before the iPhone 12 and is apparently a freshwater lake.
Apple recommends that you do the following when your iPhone gets wet:
- If iPhone is splashed with liquid other than water, rinse the affected area
- Clean iPhone with a soft, lint-free cloth
- Dry iPhone by patting it with your hand. The Lightning or USB-C connector should be facing downwards.
- Leave the iPhone in a dry place where it can get some airflowfor example, placing it in front of a fan with cool air directly towards the Lightning or USB-C port. Apple recommends leaving it to natural airflow for up to a day
- Do not attempt to dry with compressed air or any external heat source, or insert any objects into the port. Your iPhone. Don’t use the trusty old rice bag either; Apple says particles could damage iPhone
If there is liquid in the iPhone 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 event.. A situation similar to the device falling may also occur. There is no accidental impact strong enough to stop its operation. Sometimes the simplest falls cause more damage than a seemingly fatal fall.
In the case of water accidents, it doesn’t seem to be deep enough because we already had records of other cases where the iPhone was able to work even if submerged for a longer period of time. An iPhone 12 survived for 3 months under the Estanislao River in California, and another iPhone 11 survived for a week in a 7-meter deep lake. Today we are successfully recording this date.
