Professional surfer Kai lenny tested the water resistance of the new Apple smartphones. Formally, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are water-resistant case, so the smartphone has decided to test the resistance to water original way.
23-year-old Kai lenny, which is a 4x world champion in the StandUp World Tour, spends all the time on the water, literally. One day he decided to take a swim in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
Smartphones mounted on the surfboard, having survived the test, which lasted 30 minutes. iPhone 7 worked like new, but the iPhone 7 Plus turns off the sound. An excellent result, considering that smartphones water-resistant, but not waterproof case.
We would not recommend themselves to repeat such experiments. Although the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will have an official certificate IPX7, guaranteeing protection from water and dust damage of any nature are not covered under the Apple warranty. And the manufacturer probably have their reasons for it.
As Apple notes that the updated iPhone 7 case provides water resistance and protects it from spills, splashes and dust. However, in case of possible problems with the gadget due to water ingress, it will not be able to exchange under warranty for a new one.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s, by the way, the experiment Kai lenny failed. Both turned off after 5 minutes of fast surfing.
