- Are iPhones waterproof? A few years ago companies like Apple started advertising their phones as being "water resistant." They also started including an "IP rating" in many of their devices' specifications. But what does any of that actually mean, and most importantly, can you trust your phone in the water?

Yup since you are disgusted about the android and when it is not turned on it shows a mirror

Every company copies each other and is a rip-off.....
5:00 so you're telling me my 400$ smartwatch doesn't have the same quality as a 10000 $ Rolex? Mindblowing!
While I agree..the marketing from apple would have you believe there product is just as valuable if not worth more...I think that was there point ;)
Come on. Its two different things 😂 that is the most stupid analogy i have heard.
And rolex just tell u the clock and the date 😂
Agree

Answer: no it’s water resistant
Me: oh really?
I feel this every time I try to understand anything for the first time.
Wow didn't expect zack here

Why did you remove jerry. 😂😂
I’m 70% water, so if I swallow my phone will it still work?
Lol, if you swallow your phone You might not work.
U can try it yourself.
@@kwakekamdivasi591 😂😃😁😀
Yeah , but you won't
It may, you won't!
Sony was the first company to introduce IP rating for mobile.
Even IP57 to IP68.
Sailesh Nimmala ITS A FREAKING IPHONE VID THO
@@farhannajme7542 but sony did it first
@@farhannajme7542 so why did they speak about Samsung as well?
i cant WAIT for iP 69 lol 69
Ok who said that apple did it first? I don't think the video mentioned that apple did it first.
When Sony Xperias had water resistant waaaay before iphone or samsung nobody cared
I cared and bought a Z3, but it fell apart by itself in the first year...
Sony Ericsson to be exact
Some one should take the lead in creating those hyper things i.e Sony's lead in dustproof and waterproof phone so does OnePlus hype in creating 6gb ram phones
Yeah but when Samsung phones were water resistant waaaaay before iPhone, nobody cared.
When Samsung started using face ID ten years ago, people still think Apple invented it 2 years ago.
Japanese has a very neat culture to take bath and onsen/furo daily, and it's natural to use phones during that time when we enter the smartphone era. That's why Japan devolop not only water-resistant but also wet-usable touch screen for thier market.
"Rolex has better waterproofing than Apple Watch" bro it's 8 times the price of the Apple Watch
It is not a rule
A lot more then 8 times my dude
to be fair any watch you pay more than $100 dollars for has better waterproofing than an Apple Watch... idk why he used Rolex as the example other than to shame people who try to flex about having an Apple Watch lol
@@hunorrefi2761 than*
@@gta4everrr ik i misspelled
why are *_SONY Xperia_* phones not mentioned in this vid? they basically started the hype for waterproof flagship smartphones with their *_Xperia Z_* in 2013!
This is a U.S news they care only about apple tell that to the Verge.
Thank you! Why is there no mention of the Sony Xperia phones??
It's kind of insulting that there's no mention of Sony, who started the water resistant movement on smartphones years ago, but all they do mention is Apple who I believe were LAST as always to add this to their phones.
Yeah Xperia was the first. Got the my first waterproof phone Xperia M2 Aqua ip68 the rating was
No. Motorola started it with Defy.
I remember owning an Sony Xperia Acro S
As a tech enthusiast, I watch JerryRigEverything, but wow... HIS NAME IS ZACK! I THOUGHT IT WAS JERRY
You don't watch enough of it's videos , he already explained it.
Jerry was his granpa's name
I don't need to watch this video and as you said, Zack from jerryrigeverything explained all this from his Galaxy S7 video or the iPhone 7 video back in 2016.
duh
Have you never heard the saying Jerry rig it?
Nobody:
Zack: the adhesive scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7.
Lmao
Totally false, I put my phone in 100 layers of Ziplock bags and it is waterproof. Of course if you call me I may take about an hour to answer so be patient. Small sacrifice.
It will still be exposed to water after a specific amount of time. Let that be 100 or 200 years. So technically it still isn't waterPROOF.
@@RayyanAshraf that's dumb
Jj W Small sacrifice 🤣
Jj W what’s your number so we can see how long it takes for you to answer
lol
In Sony Xperia commercials it was heavily advertised as " waterproof " and every ad showed the Xperia phone under water in lakes and pools all the time, these ads span from 2013 to 2015. Sony later dropped those ads as it was misleading, because many owners used the phones without reaching the 1.5m limit and the Xperia phones' display would stop turning on and eventually just vibrate continuously until the battery runs out. Now they just advertise it as " water resistant " able to survive a rain, not a swim in the pool anymore.
I remember those. The 1st gen Xperia Z was apparently waterproof same as the first GoPro cameras with just the flaps covering the charging port and aux jack - which eventually snap at some point. Lol.
Samsung Galaxy S5 was water resistant and it had a removable back
I miss that phone
mines still going strong after 4+ years. had to replace the battery twice but it's a small price to pay to keep your phone another couple years
@@drowsy_mouse8406 where did you get the other battery from? My mom still has hers
I'm watching this video on an S5
long ass rice lol
Damn good thing I've watched this. I never knew that water resistance would degrade over time even if your careful with your phone. Good thing to know!
Only water resistant not waterproof
And it is water resistant for like 2 weeks anyway
If you make the molecules close enough together so that water molecules can't get through its water *proof* so the phone could be waterproof.
MY LIFE IS A MEME MY LIFE IS PATHETIC
like everything
Another liar my iPhone 7. Is...and I can prove it with videos of me under water for a long periods of time, no problem to this day
mrdominio100 doesn’t mean it’s waterproof just water resistant
I absolutely love that Zack is now considered an expert on this
I mean it makes sense, he's probably taken apart more phones than most have at this point, lol.
This is so insightful!!!
CNBC did an amazing job!
apple: "the iphone is water resistant. look."
puts a few drops of water on the phone.
Make more videos like these, this one's really great
This was a great video. Good sources, information, and not sugar coated.
can’t talk, busy pulling my phone out of the toilet.
The way they dissected that phone was *satisfying*
That was a great segment !
Very informative video! Thanks!
“AirPods aren’t water resistant”
Shows EarPods
8:06 This was definitely me back then when I used to work for Samsung. When the S5 was launched, I hate it when I have to deal with water damage cases all the while the device was being marketed as water resistant.
Great reporting! Thank you!
I appreciate that they bring Jerry for his expertise
Why is the title of this video ‘is the iphone’ and not ‘are phones’?????
@@n0ngeorge702 People on the internet is generally comprised of people who take interest in Apple, whether it's the people who like Apple products, or people who can't wait to spend time in their day to hate on Apple.
Because the people who don't own iPhones will know they are talking about smartphones and the people who own iPhones will be drawn to the clickbait title because it mentions the almighty Apple product
George easy. To attract attention. If they mention sony or samsung ppl will not be interested in as much as if they mention apple
You should edit this title to all phone. Apple phones didn't get water resistant till the Apple 10. Samsung had it since the S4. Here's an old S4 commercial.
th-cam.com/video/3o3LyTprgRo/w-d-xo.html
Because Apple bashing is popular and get’s clicks. This is typical of today’s media, it’s not the truth that is #1 but how many will view! They have no problem with twisted truths to get viewership. Omitting part of the truth amounts to a lie.
I have an iPhone 7 128gb since launch. Been using device ever since. Water has been smeared everywhere on this phone multiple times, even the home button. Phone still works perfectly but a little bit slower
I had an iPhone 7 too up until last month (it got stolen after all those years). It’s stayed fairly water resistant even after a few repairs.
It's slower because Apple makes updates that make it slower so you have to buy the newer one
Renix no because the iPhone 7 was released 3 year ago
Renix I never updated my phone believe it or not.
The home button is not an actual button, it’s capacitive. This means that when you press it, sensors on the button detect it and the phone makes a short (1 millisecond) vibration to simulate a click. The button is actually a just a flat surface without any holes. (To test it, try pressing it with another solid object: it won’t work).
Thanks
This is so helpful🙏🏼
I still use my Galaxy S7 edge in the shower, been doing it for two years without a problem
Take it in the ocean. Let's see if it can handle that.😏
It's so sad; Sony was the first one to popularize it, and they don't even mention it.
Sony phones are still the only ones which comes with the both IP 65/68 ratings.
By the way, I'm using an S7 since 2016. It's still water resistance as I still wash it (with soap) now and then to clean it up.
All of my Sony phones have some problems whenever it reaches to three months or so. Sure a waste of money trying to fix.
@@silvers2211 Theres is a warranty it shouldnt cost u
Awesome video!! Really taught me a lot.
Thank you for your honest opinion. Unfortunately it’s a week too late for me. My IP67 Google Pixel 2 XL had been doing great for a few times when quickly submerged into water for a short period of time, then I realized the lens got fogged, but it went away very quickly, so I thought it was normal. Last week, one year after I brought the phone, when I accidentally submerged it into water for a few second, the camera stopped working, the phone started heating up. I shut it down ASAP but it’s already too late... This video needs more attentions.
“Just like a little LEGO.”
"Scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7"
There has always been "conformal coating" to brush onto electronics for waterproofing. Radio control hobbyists have used this stuff for decades.
Wow! Wish I knew this a week ago!
Water Resistance beautifully explained
No phone is WATERPROOF except the no phone. All phones are water resistant
Poobear 42 The nophone lol
@moot _ but the no phone is WATERPROOF
I had my iphone X for more than 6 months and I always wash it with water to clean it or take a picture underwater with it and I've never experienced any damages to the phone except for the first maybe 10 minutes the microphone or speaker don't give great sound but as soon as the phone gets dry everything is normal again .
Happy I watched this video! I was confused 🤷🏽♀️
Jerry rig everything is here for reference. Hats off
I've had my LG G6 for two years and I've put it fully in water countless times. It works fine.
I'm surprised Zack made it to CNBC. I'm also surprised his last name is Nelson
Reminds me of Xperia Z. My friends with Galaxy S4 and IP5 would test it by submerging it into a jug of water. For the first 2 years of use I would wash it in basin whenever it got dirty. The thing still works today after 6 years but not water resistant anymore because the seals of flaps are worn out.
I got 2 ipad minis destroyed around 2013s because the first one was bitten by my puppy dog and the other one got soaked in the flood when we had a bad typhoon. Both got destroyed because of the water damage. Then back in 2016, my iphone 6s which is still has mediocre IP rating got soaked during a rainy trail run in the mountains and it shut down. Thank God it still worked after soaking it in rice. With my 8 and iphone pro max, I never had these issues since then that I can bring them in rainy runs or even swimming. Still thankful whoever started this waterproofing for phones and gadgets. They are a lifesaver from spending a fortune
Everyone is referring to jerry rig about phones i feel like jerry is haunting me at level 10 with deeper grooves
Water resistance has saved me recently. At work I was doing dishes and accidentally dropped my phone into a sink full of dirty soapy water (this phone is an S8+ that is now over a year old). Of course I fished it out as quickly I could, but it was completely submerged for 10 seconds, and my music didnt even stop playing and I have had no issues since.
Kyle Wiens, Excellently explained 👌🏻
Can you please make a video on Nintendo Switch Joy-con drifting issue?
Miss Sony Xperia..
That dumpasss dont accept sonys legacy
I had the original xperia Z, amazing and dependable phone
@@artyfly100 same here original z , still holding up,
Not dead yet, they're on life support. I'm rolling with them until the end. I picked up the XZ3 a few months ago.
I had the Z1 compact. One of the best phones I ever had (because I got it stolen)
They should build a phospholipid bilayer to actively prevent liquids from entering phones.
Good to see you Jerry
Super answer
First water proof smart phone is xperia
Try Japanese phones, say Fujitsu line of smartphone : Arrows series. since 2011. Heck no, even Japanese Keitai(flipphones) in 2010 has water resistance and they can swap out batteries. Talking about technology 'advancement'.

Yh thats my phone

I literally watched this video in the shower... when he said “don’t shower with your phone”😳
Well done
Great video! Very well explained. Darn now I’m worried to swim with my Apple Watch 😅
Waterproof- Meaning if i keep this in water for a month it would be okay
Water Resistant- Meaning the device can be in water for a few hours/minutes depending on the depth
your iphone isnt water proof its water resistant
Can your smartphone now withstand a rain shower?
Yes.
Can you _use_ your smartphone while it's all covered with rain?
Imma let you figure that out.
nice and correct content video
Nice info 👍👍
Please make a video, on the phones that come with pre-installed password manager software such as Samsung Pass. Please
You make it sound like samsung is the only company with such feature lmao
@@SpurgtFuglen I think so, do you know any mobile manufacturers giving this feature inbuilt?
@@somya0123456789 Have you heard of apple?
@@SpurgtFuglen I am talking about Android mobile
No phone is waterproof. Only water-resistant.
Not true, sony xperias were branded as waterproof, when i sunk my m4 aqua they had to replace it because of that waterproof sentence, later they remove that waterproof branding and replaced it with resistant, but m4 aqua was waterproof, i was swimming with it under water without problems for a long time, but once i dropped my phone into bath and my simcard slot opened, thats how it died, got a replacement from sony :) its a good brand
Not true my iPhone 7 is...I’d gone swimming under water and all of that no problem to this day.smfh
mrdominio100 it’s water resistant because it won’t prevent water from seeping in on all conditions
mrdominio100 Don’t be an idiot, the iPhone 7 actually has worse water resistance than most phones on the market today. And none of those phones are advertised for being waterproof.
I had Nokia they quickly off/full off/ completely damaged when it's in the water. I also had Sony Ericsson they stay good in water better. Back in 2005
Excellent choice of guest. People who actually work on that stuff.
That was actually infiomative.
Watching this while in the shower.... 😰
Ozzy Jetski Guy I wish I was in your feet rn😂
Bad idea as mention phones were water resistant not water proof.. small water particulate (like steam from shower) can still get inside your phone
What about smartwatches being advertised for water sports?
What kind of water sports?

See this is very interesting. I've been following Jerry Rig and iFix It for a while now, and never heard any of them talk about how the glue and the rubber degrades over a few months, thus rendering the waterproofing somewhat void. This is the first time I hear about it, in here. I wonder why.
Okay thanks you very much hope you have a great day 👍

Nice video...a video must be made regarding physical tests performed based on iec 60950-1, to show the real tests..rather than absurd bend tests and drop tests shown in videos uploaded in TH-cam...
jerry rig everything 😍
No smartphone is “waterproof”. Period. Instead, I think you’ll find that they offer some level of “water resistance”.
Lol who uses phones when you have an delivery owl?
Interesting...
Love everything they talk after 7:28 is true 100% agree
We just want it to be safe if it drops in the toilet.
Oh okay
Soo, no scuba diving with ifåns...
I have a s8 use to put it in water all the time especially because I use to be in the military so water comes up all the time but never had a problem not once
Galaxy S6 active, it's be rinsed well after a year of ownership. I have submerged it before as well quite a bit after purchasing. Not saying they will all do that, but some phones have decent water proofing. mine even has a slightly warped screen from a drop that happened within the first week.
How to waterproof your phone:
Put in in a ziplock bag
Wow CNBC has grown so big!!!! Now they even have Jerry as a guest!!!
Lots of good info here. Water damage is covered under insurance through Asurion. Pay the deductible and they ship a "new" device.
Problem is then ur playing refurbished roulette. I no longer buy insurance for my phone, if it's broke, I'll eat the cost. I buy brand-new, when u get a phone back under warranty they are just used phones put together from a scrap pile, I have never had a replacement work right.
I recorded a video underwater in a jacuzzi with my iPhone 7 Plus while in Mexico in 2017, a year later I recorded many videos underwater with the same iPhone while is Jamaica, plus me and my wife fell into the ocean while canoeing and the same iPhone was in my hand as our friends helped us back in the canoe. That iPhone is in perfect condition to this day with no sign of damage. I guess I got lucky.
the iPhone 6 has virtually no water resistance but the 6S was a start
