Is iPhone6s waterproof?
Recently, some foreign netizens put iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus into water for waterproof experiments, but after an hour of soaking, the two phones still work normally. This should be related to the compact design of two new iPhones. Is it true that the new iPhone is waterproof? In order to find out, iFixit found that the iPhone 6s has a waterproof design by disassembling it again. \x0d\\x0d\ You can see a lot of glue when you pry open the screen \x0d\ In the process of disassembling the iPhone 6s, you can find a lot of glue around the screen of the iPhone 6s, so its screen is more difficult to pry open than that of the iPhone 6. Strangely, the screen of the iPhone 6s seems to be fixed with screws, so what's the use of Apple using a lot of adhesive? \x0d\ If this part of glue is not mainly used to fix the screen, it is probably a gasket designed to prevent liquid from soaking into the fuselage. It is reported that Apple currently has relevant waterproof patents, and in the past few years, there have also been tested waterproof iPhone. \x0d\ Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the iPhone 6s is most likely designed to improve waterproof performance. In addition, according to the experiment that foreign netizens soaked two new iPhones in water, the waterproof performance of iPhone 6s is indeed much better than that of iPhone 6. So, what changes have taken place in the internal design of the iPhone 6s? \x0d\\x0d\ In the above picture, the glue pulled out with tweezers is actually more like a gasket with certain waterproof function. More interestingly, Apple also uses black and white washers to match the iPhone 6s with different body colors, such as rose gold color matching with white washers. If the Apple engineer is a Virgo, everyone should not object, right? \x0d\\x0d\iPhone 6 border thickness measurement; IPhone 6s border thickness measurement \x0d\ However, Apple's elaborate design does not stop there. At first, Bian Xiao thought it was just a gasket around the screen. Obviously, Bian Xiao was wrong. In order to place this gasket more appropriately, Apple even fine-tuned the border of the iPhone 6s. As can be seen from the above measurement of the border thickness of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6, iPhone 6s may have intentionally increased the border thickness by 0.3 mm to place this gasket. \x0d\\x0d\ and then continue to see if there is any special design for the iPhone 6s. However, when removing the cable on the motherboard, we can find that there is also a sealed silicone gasket around the cable interface on the motherboard. These gaskets obviously improve the waterproof performance of the iPhone 6s, because the cable interface often encounters water, which will cause the interface to be short-circuited and corroded, resulting in the phone not working normally. \x0d\ It is reported that Apple has applied for a patent for waterproof silicone sealing element before. At present, it can't be confirmed that the silicone gasket mentioned above is related to this patented technology. However, I believe that it won't be long before the patent will be put into the rhythm of production design. \x0d\\x0d\ Except for the waterproof design of the gasket mentioned above, it seems that other exposed or important parts of the iPhone 6s are not waterproof. For example, although the power button and volume button of the iPhone 6s have been slightly adjusted, they have no obvious waterproof characteristics. \x0d\ In addition, the speaker and headphone jack have no obvious waterproof function. Although the grid of iPhone 6s speakers is finer than that of iPhone 6, iFixit has found that their water intake rate is still the same after many measurements. In addition, the SIM card of iPhone 6s has no obvious waterproof function. \x0d\ From this point of view, the iPhone 6s does have a certain waterproof design. The gasket design of screen and cable interface can definitely improve the waterproof performance of iPhone 6s. However, it should be noted that the iPhone 6s is not a completely waterproof mobile phone, and its partially waterproof design may only work if it accidentally encounters water in daily life. In other words, the iPhone 6s will be more waterproof than the previous products, but it is not completely waterproof. I'm here to remind netizens not to put their mobile phones in the water. After all, it's not asking for a solution.
