It's a fair question.
There's,najia and archie lee sex video houston tx like...a lot of iPhones now. So how many of them are waterproof? When did phones start becoming waterproof, anyway?
Just to be clear, no iPhone out there is completely waterproof. If you leave a phone in water or some other liquid for long enough, it's gonna die. For that reason, manufacturers tend to use the term "water resistant."

The International Electrotechnic Commission uses ratings to describe a device's durability. This is called a device's IP Code. The IP Code is made up of two numbers. The first number represents a device's protection against solid objects (from 0 to 6, 0 being not protective at all). The second number represents a device's protection against liquids (from 0—9, 0 being not protective at all).
So, if you're wondering which iPhones are water resistant, as well as how resistant they are, have a look below and see if you spot yours and its IP Code according to Apple.
Which iPhones are water resistant?
The short answer? iPhones 7 and later, all the way up through the latest iPhone 13. However, the degree of protection varies amongst the iPhones in this group — and there are many iPhones.

As Apple Supports notes, a device's protection ratingis not permanent.If you submerge your iPhone 13 in water for 20 minutes, it'll may be fairly protected that time. But if you were to keep submerging it in water again and again, it's possible its degree of protection will decrease over time.
