“Are the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus iPhones waterproof? This is a question that many people are starting to ask,” I Fix Your i reports. “The short answer is, not exactly.”
“To better answer this, we went ahead and ran a quick test. Like other videos you may see, we submerged it in water, for about 1 min 58 seconds,” I Fix Your i reports. “The phone seemed to work fairly well when testing it after we pulled it out of the sink, with the exception of the microphone and the loudspeaker.”
“When we cracked it open, we found some moisture by the ear speaker, on the rear camera, and in the charging port,” I Fix Your i reports. “Significantly less than what would have been found in a previous generation phone under the same circumstances.”
“While we don’t recommend that you take this phone swimming or take a shower with it, we will say after our simple analysis, it is a lot less likely you’ll suffer water damage should you spill a drink or drop your phone in the sink,” I Fix Your i reports. “Are the iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 6s Waterproof? Probably not, but definitely water resistant.”
