Apple’s iPhone X Put Through Extreme Water Tests [Video]
YouTuber EverythingApplePro has released a new video where a brand-new iPhone X is put through an extreme water test.
The first test conducted sees the iPhone X sitting in 1 metre of water for 30 minutes, which is Apple’s rating for the device. As expected, the device does survive and it remains fully functional.
Next, the iPhone X is placed in a basket and thrown 20 feet (6.1 metres) into a river. The device stays at this depth for a total of 5 minutes and survives.
Finally, Apple’s latest flagship smartphone was thrown into a washing machine for a full rinse cycle. This acted as a durability test as much as a water test. To the YouTuber’s surprise, the device came out fully functional after all of these tests.
Apple’s iPhone X clearly is the best iPhone the company has ever built. Owners of the device can be reassured that even if your device falls into a pool or gets wet, everything will most likely be fine.

Apple to Reportedly Launch Touchscreen MacBook with M5 Chips
Apple will reportedly launch its first touchscreen MacBook with existing M5 Pro and Max chips after scrapping plans for higher-end M6 processors.
Outside of the US, it’s metre for the SI unit of measure, and meter when referencing a gauge such as a pedometer, thermometer, odometer, et cetera. 🙂
“20 feet” or, as we’ve been users of SI since 1975, about 6 metres.

I’m assuming the test was carried out in the US and the resulting depths were quoted from that test. Being a Canadian we are well versed in the imperial system of measurement, I would say more so than the metric (think height and weight). So no need to be pendantic, sounds like a r/iamverysmart post.
Right, but as a former editor, one corrects such errors unless they’re in quotation marks.
Pendants unite. 😉
No, I usually need to convert imperial to metric to truly understand it. They don’t teach imperial in school. I only know lbs and ft because they still tell hockey players’ heights and weights in those values.
I was metric before Canada converted in 1975. Yes. I’m that old. 🙂
Updated!
I really was trying to be lighthearted but I do appreciate the change. I love the parenthetical conversion. I’ll interpret that as a subtle and well-deserved jab at me. Cheers.
No offence taken, the conversion in brackets was more of an attempt to leave the original text intact–and it was not a subtle jab 🙂
