Apple’s new iPhones and watches are promised to be water resistant, and ads suggest extremely so. It’s worth reading the warnings on Apple’s websites to get a more realistic idea of how much the devices can withstand. Apple also warns that water resistance may diminish over time, and that liquid damage is not covered under Apple’s warranty. It might be a bad idea to copy what people do with Apple products in the ads.

Key Takeaways:

• The iPhone 7 may not be as water resistant as initially claimed.
• Water resistance may make iPhone 7s harder to repair and may decrease with time
• Liquid damage is typically not covered by warranty

“A closer look at Apple’s website indicates the phone and watch might be more fragile than the commercials demonstrate.”
