Are iphones waterproof?

No iPhone is completely waterproof, but modern models are highly water-resistant with official IP68 ratings under IEC standard 60529.iPhone Water Resistance Ratings by GenerationiPhone Generation / ModelIP RatingMax Depth (Freshwater)Max DurationiPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 18 SeriesIP686 meters (19.7 feet)30 minutesiPhone 11 Pro / 11 Pro MaxIP684 meters (13 feet)30 minutesiPhone 11, XS, XS MaxIP682 meters (6.5 feet)30 minutesiPhone 7, 8, X, XR, SE (2nd/3rd gen)IP671 meter (3.3 feet)30 minutesiPhone 6s and OlderNoneNo IP ratingNot resistantSafe Liquids vs. High-Risk ConditionsLow-Risk Liquid ExposuresFreshwater Drops: Safe for accidental splashes, sinks, shallow pools, and heavy rain.Common Beverage Spills: Resistant to coffee, soda, juice, and tea (rinse gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly).High-Risk Liquid ExposuresSaltwater & Ocean Waves: Salt corrodes port pins and eats away internal gaskets; requires an immediate fresh water rinse.High-Velocity Water: Water skiing, scuba diving, jetskiing, or high-pressure showerheads force water past rubber seals.Chemical / Chlorinated Water: Chlorine and soaps degrade protective water-sealing adhesive strips over time.Critical Apple Warranty RealitiesLiquid Damage Voiding: Apple’s standard 1-year limited warranty does not cover liquid damage, regardless of the IP rating.Seal Degradation: Water resistance is not permanent and diminishes over time due to wear, tear, drops, or screen repairs.Wet Charging Hazard: Never charge an iPhone with a cable if liquid is detected in the port—wait at least 5 hours for the port to air-dry completely.
