Is the iPhone X really not afraid of water?
Judging by the labeling, you can place both flagships on half a meter under water for half an hour. Although, this is not the maximum level moisture protection - new top models on Android are certified by by the IP68 standard, which improves their resistance to immersion.
So should we avoid experiments with immersion?
Actually, the protection was not designed to swim with by phone, but only for light cases: falling into a puddle or getting under the rain. With deep immersion may occur damage and the smartphone may not work. You should also not swim with it in salt sea, because liquids containing salt can damage the internals device components.
How exactly does Apple make smartphones waterproof?
Under the case, the iPhone X has a rubber frame to keep out moisture got inside the device. But this is not eternal protection - after a while rubber can lose strength over time. If this device was already in water earlier, you should be very careful about further experiments with swimming
What to do if it has already happened?
If some kind of sweet or salty liquid, then it should be rinsed in running water and then wiped with a napkin and leave to dry without connecting to the charger at least a few hours.
If, in the event of a breakdown, traces of penetration are found in the device moisture - this will void the warranty. Therefore, having a cool iPhone with a standard IP67 should be counted on for protection only in case of force majeure, and not disregard normal safety rules.
