iPhone 7 Swimming Test

** Update at ~ 7 hours 30 minutes: transforms out, you can’t livestream for even more than 8 hours. Our apple iphone 7 is still downing along.

** Update at ~ 6 hrs 50 minutes: with just 14% battery life, we decided to try to plug the phone in. We allowed the lower area of the phone to breach the surface area enough time to displace the water in the port with isopropyl alcohol and dry. We then plugged in the billing cable– with its tip covered in petroleum jelly to enable as little exposure to the water as feasible. We immersed the device– and it’s gladly charging. Do not attempt this in the house.

We’re mosting likely to go down an apple iphone 7 right into our fish tank to see how much time it endures– for scientific research. Apple has actually provided the phone as IP67 water immune, which must mean that it could make it through at one meter underwater for as much as half a hr. The length of time will it last in our tank? Just the timer will tell!

We also lately completed teardowns of all the brand-new Apple tools which you could browse right here while you wait on this apple iphone to drown:
