So for a really long time, mobile phones<\/a> all had a similar sort of problem. They weren\u2019t very waterproof. It\u2019s nice to have a mobile, but it\u2019s also not nice to have it stop working because it\u2019s got rain or dust on it. So providers eventually started working on a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

The iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/a> is going to be probably one of the best models that Apple has ever made, but is it waterproof? That\u2019s what we\u2019re here to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Happy Start<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re someone who is a fan of the iPhone series, then you will know that the most recent models have had a pretty good waterproof rating. This new model is no different, and comes with an IP68 rating. Now, we appreciate that this is just going to be two letters and two numbers for people who don\u2019t know what it all means, so let\u2019s take a look at that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding the IP Rating<\/b><\/h2>\n

So the IP rating isn\u2019t particularly difficult to understand. Each of the letters and numbers corresponds to a different type of damage that can be done to the phone, and then how well that particular model can resist said damage. So for example, the Pin IP stands for the level of liquid protection that the phone has. From top to bottom, it goes like this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I – Dust protection and other small particles like it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

P – Liquid protection.<\/span><\/p>\n

6 – Impact resistance (this is not commonly considered anymore).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8 – Protection against oil and high voltage surging through the device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Translating The Meaning<\/b><\/h2>\n

So if we were to translate the meaning for this, we\u2019d see that the phone is pretty much immune to water damage. It is built to last in the rain and in other places, which makes it good for people who want to go out and about in all weathers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also got a good level of dust protection too. On an interesting side note, Apple asserts that if you really wanted to, you could take the phone underwater and take photographs with it and you wouldn\u2019t encounter any issues at all. That\u2019s pretty good if we do say so ourselves, although it\u2019s not something we\u2019ve had the chance to test out. Most people who take photos underwater would have a more specific setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So overall, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is built to last. There\u2019s a good level of waterproof rating on there, which is great for anyone who wants a durable device that will see them through to the next upgrade. It\u2019s waterproof to a point though, and we wouldn\u2019t recommend that you try and test it too far. After all, it\u2019s not worth people breaking their device because they\u2019ve decided to give it a good go. You could take photos underwater, but why would you bother with that? However, it\u2019ll be fine for people who want to just have a durable model that doesn\u2019t break if it gets exposed to the rain or dropped in the loo by mistake. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
