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?! 📱🌊
20 meters, soooo extreme !!!!
why lie people. I lost 2 iPhone 12s because they fell in water for a few minutes. both are damaged the display does not work. I lost the first iphone because I saw a video like this. the second fell 2 meters deep, and the time I took off my clothes to pick it up was 2 minutes. and it is damaged. stop showing these things to people because it’s not true what you say
My son lost his phone at the beach in Lake Huron for 5 plus hours it was found by people walking the beach at night and it was glowing in the water they pulled it out and it was working we let it dry for 12 hour it worked perfectly and had no problem no reset needed
Try xiaomi mi 11 ultra
I threw mine in the water after seeing the first Minuit rod the water and took it out an charged it and nothing happened
It works u just can’t fix it
nice
My I destroyed my Samsung Galaxy S8 with water because the screen is broken 😂
Seems quite fishy.. Ran my iphone 12 under the tap for 30 secs to clean up my screen, now it’s seemingly slower. Might show more signs of water damage later, thing is prob toasted
This test should have been made with 2 phones because the phone looked ok after both tests, so we have no idea if the damage was done on the 1st test or not, reason being, my iPhone 12mini got splashed a few times at the pool side and the front camera fogged and the screen started to flash green, I don’t believe the ip68 rating worked on my phone but apple will not repair it.
took my iphone x to a water park for a day and did all the rides while recorded and worked for years after that
Wouldn’t it be ten times easier to have a scuba diver go down???
Just click on start diagnostics ffs
iPhone are extremely powerful, this is why they can go beyond there depth I don’t think the seal on the iPhone breaks pressure breaks the phone after a while.
I’ve owned a 12 pro max and it sure ain’t waterproof. I used pressure washer water and it made the phone become water damaged. I purchased another IPhone 12 Pro Max I sure will not be using a pressure washer to test it.
My Iphone12 was under water for 5hours 4 days ago,and it came out fine after pulling out the vehicle from the river.

Siuuuuu
why does mine freak out with the slightest amount of sweat on my fingers? it becomes basically unusable and freaks out the moment i touch it. i have to wipe my damn iphone every 5 minutes.
Since when does IP68 mean protection to 6m?
Why didn’t they just run the diagnostic?
How do they know it met the IP68 rating? They didn’t wait the 3 days between your 6 m test and your 20 m test. For all she knows she would have had the exact same problems with the phone 3 days after the 6m test.
ha ha but the samsung galaxy s21 ultra can win
Wearing a mask outside 😂🤦♂️ 🫃🏿 <—— look, its a pregnant black man emoji to comfort you
Can i use the same like this in sea water?
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 have a 13 mini… i fell asleep in the bath and overslept to work so i was in a rush and didn’t realize the phone was submerged in the bath after about 12 hours when i got home i took the phone out of the bath i had a few missed calls and messages, phone OK …
Take the mask off your outside silly

I think if you perform diagnostic test manually, as it was suggested, with few clicks you can actually start using it, you touch and all were working all good, it was just microphone concern, that too would have got resolved with the constant usage, In India, there are lot of cheap phone, we practice this kind of thing in day to day life, if water does gets in to the phone, we don’t put on charging, we place it under high wats bulb, of to direct sunlight, when by removing the battery, this is premium phone it has to work and it will.
Thay sea water or lakes water
I just jumped in the deep end in the pool with my phone
If she followed thru with the diagnostic tests and connecting wifi then she would have probably got further and didn’t have to use a laptop
Bro why were you wearing a mask outside at the water????? Y’all really would do anything you’re told
My TLC android??.hate iPhones. Different strokes hate the bottons on iPhones 🤷🏻♂️ this video isn’t accurate.. my 12 yr old phone died as he text once in rain,?? They would not give me a free one said wasn’t water proof 🤦🏻♂️
Still you need to be careful! I merged my phone into salt water /sea water. Once baterry was off, it wasn’t charging due to the liquid detected in my phone. It took me one day to fix it. I used paper tissues to clean the water from the slot and used dryer. It still wasn’t working! In the next day it started working. It is extremely inconvenient without phone especially when you travel/you may need a phone urgently
Anyone notice he control it with a ps4 controller
Yeah the fogging on the front camera happened to me too i was taking pictures underwater which had 7°C and after 1 day the fogging appeared only on the front camera but now after 1 month its okay it takes pictures normally
The diagnostics screen is accessed by holding both of the volume buttons down while booting up. So the fault on this phone is caused by a short circuit somewhere that is causing the phone to think the volume buttons are being pressed. Easily fixed if it is opened up and cleaned/dried out properly, but this will on I void the warranty and if it is not reassembled and re-sealed correctly it will no longer be water resistant.
Your test is completely flawed in determining if this phone can withstand the depths that it was designed for, it doesn’t validate apples claim of water resistant
Please stop discrediting these people and their tests! The diagnostics mode glitch was not caused by water damage. Based on the information I saw online, a faulty Lightning port can cause the infinite diagnostics mode loop. This can also be caused by software glitches, firmware glitches, updates, and glitches with the volume buttons. If there was water damage at 20 meters, the phone’s screen would go black permanently!
I dropped my iPhone 12 Pro Max in water for less than 12 Sec now my Face ID is nonfunctional, screen messed up 😢
Nothing was wrong with the iPhone, for you to move on you have to connect to a network for the diagnostic to work. When you clicked diagnostic it said choose a network, you didn’t you just assume it didn’t work and kept exiting..The phone was working fine.
For liability reasons they have to lowball the IP rating kinda like “best before” dates
Me watching this to see if i can bring my new phone in the shower be like👁️👄👁️
I accidentally dipped 1/3 of the top of my phone in water now the race id says it’s disabled and there’s an issue but the camera works fine
