**The iPhone SE's Waterproofing Fiasco**

In this experiment, we submerged two Apple devices, an iPhone 5S and an iPhone SE, to test their alleged waterproofing capabilities. The results were shocking, to say the least.

As soon as we started submerging the iPhone SE, we noticed that it was acting up. The vibration motor was going off like crazy, and water was seeping into the device through various open ports and areas. We even saw little bubbles rising out of the phone, indicating that water had indeed entered the device. Despite our best efforts to remove as much water as possible, the iPhone SE's display remained frozen, with no signs of life or response.

On the other hand, the iPhone 5S fared slightly better. While its display did not show any immediate signs of water damage, we still noticed that it was struggling to function properly. The screen went haywire, and we saw some moisture in the cameras, but overall, it seemed to be holding on.

As we continued to submerge the iPhone SE for 15 minutes, the situation only worsened. The phone's display remained frozen, and we even got a "black screen" effect, where the device refused to turn back on. We were able to revive it with a force reset, but only after a lot of effort.

The iPhone 5S, on the other hand, exhibited similar behavior at 17 minutes, where its display completely shut down. However, we were still able to recover it with a force reset and get some life out of it.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our experiment has shown that neither the iPhone SE nor the iPhone 5S can be considered waterproof or water-resistant. The results were astonishing, to say the least. Both devices struggled to function properly after submersion, and in some cases, they simply refused to turn back on.

If you want to take your iPhone for a swim, we strongly advise against it. Instead, get a proper waterproof case that can protect your device from water damage. The risks are just not worth it. We hope this experiment serves as a warning to all iPhone users out there. Treasure your SE's and protect them with a proper waterproof case.

**The Verdict**

It's clear that Apple needs to rethink its approach to water resistance on its devices. The lack of confidence in these devices' ability to withstand water is alarming. We've seen some surprising results, but at the end of the day, it's not worth taking the risk. Get a waterproof case and enjoy your iPhone with peace of mind.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up what's up guys everything Appo Pro here can happen to you in this video we will be testing the water resistance durability of the new iPhone SE so fortunately Apple didn't make this thing waterproof or water resistant I think how every phone should be after using the Galaxy S7 so I just want to see how durable is this thing underwater how long can it last this thing has no official water resistance but Apple has surprised Us in the past by making phones slightly more water resistant such as the iPhone 6s let's see in a foot of water how this thing can hold up and how long it compares to a standard iPhone 5S is there any more water proofing between these devices let's find out so I've got about a foot of water Here regular water nothing special or extraordinary about it we do all of our tests here is the new SE any more special than a 5S all right so this thing of course is the faster version of the 5S 2016 Edition what it can be faster but I haven't updated to iOS 9.3.1 yet I don't know if that'll help at all with the water but hey this thing compared to the 5S I don't know I I don't know if there will be a difference whatsoever that's why trying this video all right so let's get into this as a timer we' got the S7 over there let me go ahead and grab that and we can start this all right and here we go in three two one o it's the initial submersion that hurts the most so I'm going to put the SE on the left right here iPhone 5s on the right same color both look great and we've got our stopwatch in here so I absolutely love that about the S7 is that the touchscreen Works underwater how cool is that these guys aren't so fortunate so I don't know predictions I think the SE could possibly go up to 10 15 minutes iPhones have always done surprisingly well underwater even though they're not supposed to so uh almost about minute here let's go ahead and leave these guys and see how they do all right so we're approaching 3 minutes there's nothing that tells me there's water damage on the displays usually we'll start to see some artifacts now after uh submersion we're going to take it out about 10 minutes or so I want to see you know what works stuff stops working usually the home button the actual headphone jack or the charging port so sound to we're going to test all these things make sure they are working after the submersion because you know that is most important so uh 3 minutes still going strong let's keep going here and I am super happy that Apple went ahead and released the iPhone SE it's an area where apple has a lot of profit that they're missing out on thanks to all these cheaper Android smartphones and at the same time I'll always have something special in my heart for smaller phones so I'm very very happy about that now surprisingly a carrier signal and Wi-Fi service is still available underwater that's a very very good point right there you usually that's one of the first things to go out but this screen keeps timing out should have activated that and uh Shameless plug for Samsung Galaxy S7 in here man this phone is the one you want to get for your summer getaways for everything who needs a case I mean you do need one eventually but up to 5T this thing will be golden and we've tested it up to 35 ft didn't last that long but man the Galaxy S7 is a really really awesome smartphone I cannot get enough of it I don't use it personally but if you were looking for a waterproof phone that's probably the one to get so approaching 5 minutes here still going strong now the good thing about the iPhone SE is that many of the cases from the 5S almost every single case should work there's no reason why it wouldn't uh all the ports everything is in the exact same spot and waterproof cases if you guys have any arounds they'll still fit that's the best part so you don't need to put your phone at risk like I am with this video you can still use it and at 5 minutes we're going strong let's wait until 10: to see if anything starts becoming damaged all right so uh looks like the water has penetrated the headphone jack possibly or the actual button it keeps jumping on and off as if there are some headphones connected even though there aren't first symptom that these things are in water there we go the 5S is the first one to start showing where that's kind of funny how bad this thing is freaking out the vibration motor is going off like crazy underwater I've actually never seen that before this particular symptom but the 5S has a lot of open ports areas where uh the water can seep in I think even more than the 6s and uh it is thicker and we can see little bubbles rising out you know the water is getting in there there is enough pressure in here all right so uh we're about 10 minutes here let's go ahead and pull these guys out of here I'm going to stop this all right so let's take a look at what we've got this is going haywire vibration motor I don't know if you can hear that very well but yeah it's definitely some apparent signs of water damage in here the SC on the other hand let's see if I can get the display to register nope oh there we go so display does work no real signs of water damage and no moisture even in the cameras at 10 minutes let's see if the speaker and camera and all the other good stuff works so rear camera front camera all good let's try the speaker out oh it's very very muted very quiet oh it's a little jolt and it's back to normal let's try the headphone jack this is a Dying Breed here we won't be able to test these in the future with the iPhone 7 so does this thing know it has a headphones in cool everything is working like it should on this guy this guy on the other hand the 5S no signs on the display that it has water damage but with that of course it's showing some signs okay at 10 minutes we are still Flawless on the SE let's go in for another 10 submerging and resuming the timer there we go this guy goes on the left again and let's leave these guys in here about 5 to 10 more minutes all right so approaching 15 minutes and the iPhone SE is starting to exhibit very very similar Behavior with the headphone jack the ringer is going off and on a little bit every once in a while so to accelerate this let's go ahead and move these guys around underwater try and get as much air out of them as possible as we can see it's quite a bit so we going to tap on them touch them and leave them this should help them buy a little bit and all right at 15 minutes still going strong just move them around jolted them over iPhone SE has a black screen is this it for this guy wow okay so let's uh check it out over here do some Diagnostics and that was about 15 minutes and 20 seconds for the iPhone SE let's try and restart it wow nothing dead as a door knob so while the 5S is still going strong the SE no longer let's try and get as much water out of them as possible oh check that out so the display is alive but the phone is not you know registering or doing anything that usually does not happen if the display is off so that's the LCD responding to the input yeah definitely alive very very strange I'm going to try and do a force reset oh we have a sign of life and uh on the Apple logo there's some water marking going on interesting okay let's see if this will boot after 15 minutes in the water it's pretty dang surprising to even get to this stage oh and wow there we go so uh the display is out there's a watermark halfway surprising and uh looks like at 17 minutes the iPhone 5S has died so let's do the same diagnosis let's see nope the display is completely off this time I'm going to get as much water as I can out of it again and do a force reset so getting as much as I can out let's do a force reset and there is life the 5S lives wow so 15 minutes is what it takes to force shut down an SE and the display is all acting up 17 minutes for the 5S very surprising results here so they did good but I can't say these have any waterproofing or water resistance capabilities is this display working I'm surprised that booted wow so guys there you go in conclusion I just want to say get a waterproof case this thing is no water resistant S7 or anything like that as you can see these both are acting up the display is going haywire we got a whole bunch of water marking in here definitely not something you want to mess with if you want to go in the water with one of these get a case thanks so much for watching guys check out the other SE video and the iPad Pro 9.7 in videos as well a lot of good stuff so have a great day treasure your se's protect them with a proper waterproof case peacewhat's up what's up guys everything Appo Pro here can happen to you
