![]() You can take it out of the water at any time. A few quick notes on the iPhone 11 Pro Max's water resistance: It can't go deeper than 2 meters (roughly 6 1/2 feet). The 11 Pro Max is water-resistant up to 2 meters for up to 30 minutes, which means it'll survive that accidental drop into the pool or a splash from the sink. ![]() The iPhone 11 Pro Max may be water-resistant One of these features happens to be its IP68 waterproof rating, which is an improvement over their previous models. ![]() It is a phone with a wide range of new features that was released on Apple’s 10th anniversary of the original iPhone back in 2007. You can watch the video here.You’ve seen the headlines all around the Internet, “IP68 Waterproof” and “Splash proof.” But do you really know what these ratings mean? Last month of 2018, Apple released their latest smartphone, the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I confirmed this by using the Sound app on the Apple Watch which showed the submerged phones were playing back at a few decibels lower than the new phones. The only issue I could find was the speakers on both the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro sounded less crisp and slightly softer at maximum volume compared to two brand-new iPhones that hadn’t been dunked. Again, both were fine other than speaker performance, and three days later – when they were fully dry – even this damage was minor. This is six times deeper than the iPhone 11 rating, and three times deeper than the Pro one. Again, the iPhone 11 sounded softer than the iPhone 11 Pro.įinally, 12 meters, or 39 feet. Other than the same speaker issues, both models survived.īoth touchscreens still worked, the cameras took photos without any evidence of fogging or water ingress on the lenses, and speakers played back audio. The second dive was to 8 meters or 26 feet. Drying off the phones with a lint-free cloth, the screens on both still worked and there was no evidence of fogging on the camera lenses (front or back).īuttons and speakers still worked the iPhone 11 sounded a little waterlogged when playing back an audio clip I recorded before dunking the phones, while the iPhone 11 Pro had some distortion, but was louder than the iPhone 11 playback. The iPhone 11 is only rated for half this depth, so we had no idea what to expect for the less-expensive phone.Īfter 30 minutes, we brought the drone back to the surface with both phones still attached. Teaming up with Sofar Ocean Technologies (formerly known as OpenROV), we mounted a brand-new iPhone 11 and 11 Pro on their underwater drone called Trident We sent the Trident deep down into Monterey Bay in California on a chilly fall day to see what would happen to the iPhones įor the first dive, we wanted to test the claim for the iPhone 11 Pro: 4 meters for 30 minutes. Which was where CNET began – but didn’t end – its testing. Apple says the flagship Pro model exceeds this capability and can manage 4 meters. That means they should survive being immersed in up to two meters of water for up to 30 minutes. ![]() You could spill some beer or wine on it, to replicate the typical bar accident, or drop one in a water glass or swimming pool.īut if you have access to an underwater drone, well, it has to be done, right…?Īpple only claims an IP68 rating the both iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. It’s not difficult to conduct a realistic iPhone 11 waterproof test.
