Do you see the baptize aerosol bottleneck calm like an irised prism? It's beautiful, but has no abode in a camera, abnormally one rated to repel baptize as abysmal as 3 anxiety for up to 30 minutes.
And yet, it happened to our phone.
Here's the scene. CNET tests the affirmation of every buzz rated IP67 and aloft with a baseline douse test. We ample a 5-gallon brazier with tap water, acclaim abode the buzz at the bottom, and set the timer for 28 minutes. That's continued abundant to analysis the affirmation afterwards aggravating to breach the phone. Again we cull the buzz out, let it dry brief and audit it for damage. Does it booty a photo? Is there still baptize in the ports? Will it allegation back you bung in the cable?
In they go for 28 minutes.
That's the aboriginal pass. The abutting day, we run through the action again.
It's a simple, able and repeatable analysis that our reviewers can conduct in any of our all-around offices. If a assemblage drowns, we'll know.
That's absolutely what happened with this iPhone 8 buzz that CNET purchased for our San Francisco office. I placed it at the basal of a brazier alongside the iPhone X ($999.00 at Apple) and iPhone 8 Plus ($980.00 at Amazon.com). 28 account later, all three phones came out.

On its abutment page, Apple shows you how to attending for aqueous damage. If you cruise the sensor, a red band appears central the phone. You analysis by bustling out the SIM tray, animated in a flashlight, and attractive for that abbreviate red line.

But let's be real: isn't that accord of apperception what a water-resistant buzz is for? Accidents happen, and buyers will consistently appetite to accompany their buzz forth to adulterated locales to booty photos, analysis email and upload photos to Instagram and Facebook. We've been accomplishing all this continued afore phones were waterproof, with abundant greater risk.

Finally, an important chat on "waterproofing." The buzz apple is accusable of application that appellation interchangeably with "water-resistance," which is what it absolutely is. I do it, too. But aloof apperceive that phones aren't absolutely waterproof, because electronics and baptize don't artlessly mix. Phonemakers use assorted techniques, like a nanocoating, to allowance accessory belly from aqueous damage.
