iPhone 12 extreme water test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- The iPhone 12 is water resistant. But just how much water can it actually take? We dunked a brand-new iPhone 12 underwater in Lake Tahoe, California, to test out the IP68 rating and go even deeper than we've ever tested a phone before.

Thanks for watching! What phone should we extreme test next?! 📱🌊
Try leaving it in a bag of rice and see if that fixes it
I would say all phones that have IP ratings, released this year. CongratsLexi, if you continue using this team to test phones i think ppl will come to watch videos with them, for official ratings on all phones in real world water scenarios.
iPhone 12 pro and also Google pixel 5
Pixel 5 ❤️
I would like to see Note 20 Ultra in those same extreme testing conditions as it is iPhones biggest competitor
An uncle of mine accidentally dropped his iPhone 11 Pro in a river on Amazon Rainforest and he cannot recover it that day because water levels were too high (about 6 meters), so a month later when the water levels dropped to 2 meter, he went to the spot where the phone fell, found the phone buried in the mud under the river and recovered it. The phone was perfectly functional with no other issues than the muffleld speakers sound.
Cap
That's epic
@Señor Why Me cap
you haven’t seen the inside yet, you should probably open it and clean it
Say Siri get rid of the water
RUclips will recommend this 10 years into the future when iPhone 17 xs is out
iPhone XVII XS R PRO
iPhone 25 pro maximus radiator edition Samsung edition with funeral mode with Halloween mode with Christmas mode with Easter mode £100000 edition buy a car version camera worse than a 1996 radiator with sharp corners razor edition with turtle beach audio using razer 123456789k razor laptop screen 9999999999 inch screen bigger and worse and more expensive than a tv
Nah that’s coming out tomorrow
BIG VOUCH
Facts thooo
It’s booting into diagnostics because it thinks the volume buttons are being pressed. Internal liquid damage for sure
Yes
Very easy to fix this if she just takes the time to properly dry it and make sure there is no corrosion on the board inside from moisture buildup.
Don't just get rid of it because it is boot looping to the diagnostics screen.
First try alcohol on the buttons then mabey it could be internally so internal operations may be required. But yes don’t throw it away because mabey I (a 13 yro with a mini repair business ) could fix that
@@weignerg my phone was boot looping and i got it opened and it was corroding so uhh definitely water damage
@@xandersaliba7794 ha! im 13 and also have a repair business!

@@urho thx
iPhone 5 hadn’t any water protection, apple started introducing in iPhone 7. Since iPhone 11 all models has IP68. I always wet my phones, no problem. It’s made for support it.
This is a funny joke but in reality I wet my iPhone SE a lot and it was completely fine
@@mr.pig.6760 no seriously this hhappened
Apple says water resistant not water proof. End of story.
No, that's not end of story... That's not how it works when you test things ;)
It is lol
@@turkishultranationalist why?
@@Oystein87 but it is as Apple isn’t claiming it to be waterproof
@@tferg1443 In other words: You did not understand the point of the video then...🤦♂️
Technically since it still "Worked" after the second extreme test you can't prove that it would work fine after the first one.
@EBFT don’t? Why would you risk it?
It's important to note that the water rating is applicable when considering a BRAND new phone. As you use your phone over the course of its life, all of the screws/glue/etc that hold your phone together will loosen or deteriorate over time, so don't go thinking that your water rating will remain the same for the life of your phone.
thumbs up for bartolomeo profile picture
false, actually with heat, the glue screws etc will in tact mold to it better.
you do have a point though if a phone has had the screen replaced or some type of repair done to it.
proof ?
Yup why isn't this comment highly liked? It's the truth also sometimes it takes time before the damage shows
Also soap weakens seals so never clean your phone with soap
I would love to see a video where you take it to the claimed depth. After testing, take it home and see if the camera fogs and the phone goes into diagnostic mode. THEN try for deeper depths. You can’t truly say that the phone was fine at 6 meters without doing this. It was also still working at 20 meters. It only failed when you took it home. (Edited: spelling)
Yeah exactly. This test doesn't prove anything yet.
Had exactly the same thoughts should’ve used several to test several conditions separately
That's right, the phone won't fail right away. Water will slowly creep in and cause damage a day or two later.
Also if you read the fine print, Apple offers no warranty for water damage.
They should have had three phones. One to do only stay submerged for 20 minutes to test how faithful their "actual" claims are. The second to test just how long the phone "actually" could last in that sort of environment. And the third as a test to see how deep the phone can go before completely breaking all together.
All good until you accidently drop it into a pool and the phone pancakes.
Wow good job for having two comments that are near the top :)
What do you mean by pancake
@@gabrielespinoza7145 i’m thinking ‘flatline’
I have taken a lot of underwater videos ranging from surface to 15 feet deep in salt and fresh water with my iPhone 12 Pro and had no issues whatsoever.
The timing of the video’s release is so suspect. Apple just got fined in Italy for misleading water resistant claims.
Apple claims Water resistant and NOT WATERPROOF. There’s a difference
Right but didn't they have a commercial where the guy drops his phone in the pool like 6 feet down and picks it up and it's fine? That's kind of claiming waterproof without claiming waterproof
@@luvdr350 waterproof means quite literally proof. It cannot be damaged by water, at all. Resistance simply means it can resist a said amount of water for said time. Legality is another reason they advertise it as resistant, and not proof.
@@luvdr350 they put it under water for over an hour and 30 min, that's way beyond the IP68 rating
That phone probably has screen damage now or internal damages right now. Water damage doesn't immediately destroy the inside of your phone, it takes time.
Yea the fact they put it in the salty lake garuntees that it will corrode just later
@@OtaCato bro they specifically say within the first minute they chose this location because it isn’t salt water 😂🤦🏻♂️
"Don't take it to the extremes like we did" - Well for sure I don't have a lake and a home built submarine available.
If my phone ends up in 3 feet under a lake or river it’s staying there, I can’t swim 😅
Try picking it up with a shovel?
3 feet what??? i’d understand 30 but geez...
@Joe. Biden 5'9" We all cant be 6' like you Joe
Unless your height is below 4.5 feet you won’t be swimming at that depth. You’ll be standing lol
@@Willy-Wacker I’m 5’7 and 3ft isn’t that deep... you don’t even have to swim..
to fix the speaker you gotta play the 165Hz test tone on max volume for a few mins
Is this true?
@@angeldiggins yes but I find changing frequencies a bunch fixes it faster
I wouldn’t want to drop my 1200 dollar phone in water....

Did she just call the iPhone _waterproof_
bro, I mean apple does have enough money to buy an entire insurance company.
Technically the test didn't prove that it met the claim that Apple said given the phone stopped working days after
It stopped working days after due to the fact they pushed it past its rating, right? 10:00 says it met the rating apple claims, just not more than that. Which is expected - it wasn’t rated past IP68.
@@Camibug > It stopped working days after due to the fact they pushed it past its rating, right?
We have no idea if that's why. That's the point.
You forgot that the adhesive is new
@@HarvardHeinous The rating doeesnt consider long term issues, just that it can stay at a certain depth for a certain amount of time before dying
Correction: IP68 means protected from contact with harmful dust (6) and waterressistant (8) down to atleast 1,5 meters (or more) up to 30 minutes (or more). Manufactures can however add additional proofing and testing to reach greater numbers than the minimum requirements.
And all manufactures have a safety margin on their ratings. And maybe they did not even bother to test it higher than the rated numbers. So I don't see the "mystery" here. I did expect everything that happened to happen. And the water is not "very very" cold.. Just "normal cold". It's well within normal temps so it will not have any impact on the test at all.
And I bet it works better when you see the moist on the inside of the camera lenses has gone away. It's most likely just a little moist behind the volume buttons so the phone thinks they are pressed.
Going on vacation, was thinking about doing some underwater videos since it’s supposed to be water resistant but after watching this I think I’ll keep it out of the water… don’t want to risk it. Maybe someday they’ll actually make water PROOF phones but until then I think it’s best to keep it on dry land in my opinion.
Thinking the same too
But ik still gonna do it
You’re a brave soul, best of luck to you.
Went snorkeling in the sea with my iPhone 13 pro the last 3 days in the tropics, filmed some EPIC shots, will make a video asap. The phone works just fine, and I went in hours at a time. Just make sure to rinse it off with fresh water and leave it to dry before charging it. I am amazed!
@@janschilthuizen how is it now? I think you probably got lucky. Saltwater wreaks havoc on electronics if a few drops get inside.
you should have done it with two iphones, how do we know if the phone is broken because of the first or the second trial? the phone appears broken 3 days after and both trials were made on the same day.
And, what if you do a trial at 40 metres during 40min without having done the first trial?
5:01
So that’s what happened to my Little sister!
Underrated comment
Cursed
This speaker isn't a little bit muffled. It's done for
This is a actual extreme water resistant test...👍 Usually everybody else shows just water drop test and shows that it works. But you guys have tested as a normal user would do like if it falls into water dry it and see if it still works...
It's labeled as "water resistant" because eventually the seal will fail. If it were waterproof you would be able to drop it in the mariana trench and the seal would hold.
I have a feeling you that don't understand how design validation, certification, and statistics work
@@jiwoonhur9892 What makes you say that?
The issue is never immediate. Its always the day after when lens fogged up and water vapors short circuiting the circuits. Found it the hard way on IP11pro in a 1.3m pool. Don’t be fooled.
They did do a 72 hour later for the tests..
If it gets water in the charging port it will say water has been detected in your charging port please let it dry to not damage the phone
Their phone: *Can survive for more than 30 minutes deep underwater*
My phone: *Breaks after a drop of water falls onto it*
My new iPhone 12 stopped working after i spilled a glass of water on it ...typing with my new{old actually} iPhone 6 rip my money
N the worst thing is apple said they can’t touch my device cause it has water damage n I was like bruh
@Jan Hendrik Franke yes sadly apple don’t repair water damaged devices
@Jan Hendrik Franke don’t go swimming with it lol
It's a good thing cnet isn't a reputable and trusted tech channel. It was obvious a restore wasn't going to remove the diagnostic screen.
Do the test again in 6 to 12 months after some light drops, regular usage and charging. RIP Iphone XS
Exactly water resistance is not a permanent condition.
Just after France fines Apple
@@AppleReviews especially Samsung. Their phones water resistance are so bad
@aniruddha mukherjee Apple never said their phones are waterproof anyways, these countries are losing their minds over nonsense, they're water resistance
@@Anonyme09865 I disagree! My Note 8 survived all my underwater pool shots and some salt water splashes without any issues whatsoever! Still working fine. :)
@@KennDee good for you
Oh man talk more about the drone. That seems more interesting than the test.
1. Diagnostics mode is due to volume buttons falsely being pressed.
2. recovery mode only worked as buttons being pressed are part of the procedure to boot.
3. If you opened up the phone and disconnected the right flex, the phone would boot fine.
4. HOW can you prove its IP68? The 72 Hour corrosion could of happened instantly...
iphone 12 extreme heat test : *yeets it into a volcano and tries calling it*
No need to be scared to get ur iPhone wet, I've been showering and washing my iPhone 8, IP67 under a tap for almost three years now, no problem what so ever. Just picked up my new 12, and I will continue to do the same thing.
Thought the camera caught a skeleton of a deceased mob victim at 4:58. Luckily just a creepy boat decor.
That boat must have sunk and has been sitting down there for years
Also the iPhone 12 Pro is rated at 6m while the 12 is rated at 4m
P.O.V You actually find a long lost boat underwater by accident.... 4:36
and a skeleton
5:00
one thing this test is better than the others is that you've waited days to test it again, the only problem is that you used the same phone for the extreme water test so, the Apple claim of 6 meters / 30 min can't be tested.
Do the water test again but only @ 6 meters for 30 min and then wait days and see if it survives.
Iphone 11 was the same
yes
Hello Ray Mak!
The best part is you get a free phone cleaning service
considering the updates over the previous few years and level of innovation from Apple..the phone should be at the bottom of the sea :D
That water looks beautiful
Liking just for the 🐻 at the end
I LOVE YOU for doing footage of a few days later as well 🏆 🏆 🏆
*Fun Fact :* The Robot was controlled by a PS4 Controller 🎮 *!*
Hmm so basically what this means is I can take underwater photos 🧐🧐
Yes you can
Just want to add that Tahoe is also partly in Nevada :-).

@@zacharybrooks9053 good reference
phones will be just completely waterproof if speakers, charger ports and others are covered. i hope they can produce a phone like that in the future😁
Thank you for 😷 ing-up!
My Iphone12 was under water for 5hours 4 days ago,and it came out fine after pulling out the vehicle from the river.

Sony FTW 💪
I like how he called it a touchpad controller lol
For liability reasons they have to lowball the IP rating kinda like “best before” dates
This “test” as shown totally fails to differentiate between whether or not the damage was caused by the first round at the rated depth or the second round at three times the rated depth. Because of this it’s essentially meaningless. It’s completely possible that the damage was caused by the first test, and just took a little while to affect the phone.
Agree. Very unscientific test!
Absolutely nate
Ur right Nate
Who is Nate?
Nice remix song with the sounds effect the vehicle 👌 2:08 to : 2:13
For the water in the speaker I use an app or some type of sound all the way up to push the water out of my speakers and after that it works fine. The app I used was recommended by my ex and you can do different frequencies (higher and lower) to push the water out and that works well.
Tip..after dunking ur phone to water, ALWAYS! ALWAYS! Put it immediately in the bag of rice for 24hrs...remove simcard tray so that it will have opening for all the moist to get absorbed
obviously you don’t have to
Wow, I didn't know the new iPhone 12 was water resistant. I remember hearing about people coating their mobile phones with special liquid to turn it water resistant a couple of years back. That's cool.
@@lukewatson059 Ouch that's not good. Thank you for the update, Luke..!! :)
iphone has been water resistant since the iphone 7
Good video. But You should also have tested it at 9 meters (before going to 20). That's 50% more than Apple claime. I think the phone would have survived that.
i'm thinking how much apple is paying cnet to promote iphone 12 that ever other day there is a video on iphone 12 from cnet
Take it to get the diagnostics done and see what happens.
Test complete
Kind of sus after Italy fines Apple for not delivering on water proofing
They never said water proof? Its clearly IP68 Water RESISTANT
@@tanzen1020 yeah but I would have liked to seem them just testing the rating, and leaving it for a few days. They went 20 meters on the same phone they went 6 meters with, for all we know it failed 6 meters. It looked like it was working after the 20 meter but it clearly wasn’t, we have no clue if the same is the case for 6 meters. Also it’s fairly suspicious that water damage isn’t under warranty since it’s supposed to be water resistant
@@sparks6177 Because then you’ll have people bringing in their phones after purposely damaging it with water. There are always scam artists around.
@@logancarlyle2141 the same could be said for every other device with similar warranty to what I suggested. somehow those device companies can stay in business while the largest in the world won’t fix a defective device without some sort of up charge
@@sparks6177 Uh, you’re kidding me, right? NO phone manufacturer covers water damage, so please, tell me about these “other devices.”
thanx for the test Lexy
Awesome test gods content well done
😂 they say it’s waterproof but the speakers are trash after a little drop goes on them
I thought you are going to Mariana Trench when the title says EXTREME.
Do not disturb while diving would be the appropriate message then
Just put it in rice for a day and it’ll be good as new.
So the big question is can i go shower with it ?
The problem is that even though they do hold in water they are still not completely waterproof. Water do get in the device however the effect may not be immediate. After several months of usage the water inside will cause corrosion internally and ultimately destroy the devise. This water proof rating is put with the intention not to dive with the phone but as a insurance that if you spill something on it it will not die. The IP68 rating IS NOT A GUARANTEE that your phone will not have internal damage due to a water entering the dice
You should have tested FaceID, it’s the most fragile in iPhones, sometimes it’s broken with just a spill..
Maybe if you press “diagnostics” the phone would probably be working fine
No it’s for internal Apple technicians to run tests without unlocking the users phone. It’s simply a stuck volume button
My iphone 12 survived grafefully in water theme park! Loved it
CNET!
disconnect volume buttons from the board and the phone will boot no problem
It doesn't work that way
@@2tonedripgaming420 see my other comment and the 700 people agreeing with me 😌👍🏻
Could you do a test like this with a one year old regularly used IPhone ? I’d be very interested in that.
1:40 He uses Ubuntu, a man of culture =D
10°C is not too cold for a phone. I once wanted to film something in the freezer and that phone was in -26°C for like 5-6 hours. The phone lived, and it still works perfectly.
Yeah but not in WATER
I wonder it will be very cool idea.. Playing heavy games under cold water to avoid overheating..🤣
Ahh.. naah its stupid idea..😅🤣
Dude that’s 1000000iq thinking 🤣
@@harjapaulakh4424 Hahaha
@Namir Deshmukh Yeaa....
Im a profesional electronic technician. There is a difference between water-proof and water-resistance. Water-proof means absolutely no water can get inside the device. While water-resistance means some water can touch the device and be fine but the company has limits and conditions before the phone has water-damage. The reason why phones turn off when being water-damaged is because the actual chemicals in water (specifically oxygen) corrodes the chips of the motherboard and/or the display is damaged from water-damage. I see alot of people commenting that they shower, use the phone in water, or completely submerge their phone in water. That is completely fine if your under phones water rating but keep in mind your playing a very risky game with your device and even if you do water-damage your device the company who made your phone most likely will not warranty-repair your phone.
I will also add that any electronic technician will tell you to absolutely not use your phone in water no matter how shallow or minimal that water is. I personally have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and not even I will use my phone in water for whatever reason.
The bear is the best part of the video 😂😂
That's so dangerous. What if it attacked someone who went to get their stuff on his "claimed territory". They should have shot it.
What bear?
You are the only one who does water tests correctly 😂
Lol Apple like yes ! Free proof against France lawsuit it was going to cost money to do it ourself.
Ur so right
Once it completely dries inside it will work again, the moisture inside is from condensation happening inside.
Thank you!! But I won’t dare to try it with my 12 pro 😂🤣
It’s intended to protect against accidental water exposure.
So if you accidentally drop it in a lake, you could have 30 mins to recover it.
It’s definitely not intended to dive with.

Test is failed. After 72 hours phone is broken and need repair
Such overkill just drop it in a pool lmfao
Un "Bearable"
Cuh
it’s waterproof definitely..... i used my iphone 12 while taking a shower: changing music, texting my friends, netflix, twitter, etc etc and it’s all good
There out in the middle of no where and wearing masks. Holy crap
There’s a film crew?
11 degress is warm in Canada.
My friend's 12 mini have been about 27 hours on the river's bottom.
