**The iPhone 10s and 10r Water Test**
In this experiment, we put two iPhone models to the test: the iPhone 10s and the iPhone 10r. We used an underwater drone from Open ROV to film our tests, which allowed us to dive down to great depths while keeping the phones safe and dry.
**The Test Begins**
We started by taking the iPhones to a depth of two meters for 30 minutes. This was not a scientific test, but rather a fun experiment to see how far we could push these phones in water. We used a custom mount to hold the two phones side by side in front of the drone's camera. To move through the water, we have thrusters that allow us to move forward and backward, turn, and even dive down into great depths.
**The First Round: 2 Meters**
We started our test at a depth of two meters and moved around for 30 minutes. The iPhone 10s should be fine because of its IP68 rating, but the iPhone 10r is only rated for IP67, which means it can withstand water up to one meter for 30 minutes. We stopped filming and pulled the phones out of the water after three seconds. To our surprise, everything was still working normally on both phones. The touchscreen was fully responsive, and there was no evidence of water ingress or fogging.
**The Next Round: 3 Meters**
We decided to take it to the next level and dive down to a depth of three meters for another 30 minutes. We dried off the phones after the second round at three meters and they seemed to be responding normally on their screens. Looking at the cameras, we couldn't see any evidence of water damage or ingress. It was clear that these phones were doing incredibly well so far.
**The Final Round: 5 and 6 Meters**
We decided to take it even further by diving down to five meters for an extended period of time - almost four minutes! We managed to submerge the iPhone 10s almost four times the rated depth, and it was still going strong. However, the iPhone 10r stopped working after six minutes and fifty seconds underwater at a depth of seven point seven to seven point nine meters. The phone's SIM card tray started leaking water as soon as we removed the SIM card.
**Assessing the Damage**
We pulled up the damaged iPhone 10r and assessed the damage. There was significant water damage, including buckling on the screen and side, and a liquid contact indicator had not activated, indicating that no water had made its way inside the device. The iPhone 10s, on the other hand, seemed to be fine after being submerged at almost four times the rated depth for an extended period of time.
**The Verdict**
After conducting this experiment, it's clear that the iPhone 10r is not as water-resistant as we thought. While it may have survived the initial test at two meters, it failed miserably at deeper depths. The iPhone 10s, on the other hand, performed incredibly well and withstood much more than what was expected of it.
**A Week Later**
We checked on the iPhone 10s a week after the water test to see how it had held up over time. To our surprise, everything seemed to be functioning normally again. The touchscreen was still fully responsive, and there was no evidence of any lingering damage from the water exposure. We also tested the liquid contact indicator and it still hadn't activated, indicating that no water had made its way inside the device.
**Conclusion**
This experiment highlights the importance of checking the IP rating of a phone before using it in wet conditions. The iPhone 10r may seem like it can handle more than it actually can, while the iPhone 10s surprises us with its ability to withstand great depths.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe know the iPhone 10 R and 10s are water resistant but how deep can these phones really go so I have a brand new iPhone 10 R and an iPhone 10 s now this is the same iPhone tennis that we actually use in our previous water test and we tested it to the rate of depth of two meters for 30 minutes this is not a scientific test we're just doing this to have some fun and see how far we can take these to the extreme and don't try this at home or maybe you should but it will definitely void your warranty to take the phones to new depths we are using the Trident an underwater drone from open ROV this film is going to counteract the weight of these in the water so that they don't sink or float they're what we call neutrally buoyant they made us a custom mount to hold the two phones side by side in front of the drones camera well to move through the water we have these thrusters that are basically really rugged and motors like you'd see in like a quadcopter but they can handle water these ones in the back allow it to move forward and backward and turn and the vertical one allows it to move up and down the whole design is made so it can be very hydrodynamic both for moving horizontally in the water but also for diving way down into great depths okay you ready for the first round we're taking them to two meters the 10s should be fine because of its ip68 rating but the 10r is only rated for ip67 which is 1 meter for up to 30 minutes here we go 3 2 1 in the water let's stop it and let's pull them out looks like everything's still working yeah the touchscreen is fully responsive that looks good let's look around the back of the cameras I can't see any evidence of water ingress or any kind of foking at all that looks good so the tennis has already been dunked and I can tell because the speaker sounds a little bit distorted while the 10r sounds pretty clear they both survived the first dunk so we're taking them down to three meters all right now we're drying them off after the second round at 3 meters looking good they both seem to be responsive on the screens looking at the cameras I don't see any evidence of water ingress is no fogging either that I came to help these phones are doing so well they've already made it to 2 & 3 meters I think we should just go straight to the next level and go straight to 5 and dunk them for at least 5 minutes maybe even more I totally agree I'm really excited to see what happens okay let's take these guys off oh wow hey both ah looking good that was five and then six meters for around nineteen minutes looks like it's still responsive apps are still opening everything looking as expected back on the cameras yeah no water damage I can see I definitely have noticed the volume has reduced even at the maximum volume cranked up on both of the phones they're both still working so it's time to take them down to the bottom of the bay the Trident heads down to the sea floor about eight meters down around the 3-minute mark something is wrong on the 10r the I think water has started to come into the SIM card tray I think this is the beginning of the end for the 10 are the 10 ah died at 6 minutes 50 underwater at around seven point seven to seven point nine meters the 10s on the other hand is still going strong alright let's pull it up all right here comes now it's time to assess the damage the 10r is very obviously not working try and turn the power on nothing's happening a lot of water just popped out as soon as I pop the SIM card tray out okay this well there's definitely water damage I can see on the SIM card actually looks a little bit like there is some buckling here the screen and the side doesn't sit as flush as it used to and look what's happening if it tells it upside down all the water that comes pouring out of that SIM card tray so let's take a look at the 10s now this one we managed to submerge almost four times the rated depth and it's looking good unbelievable like it's still going everything seems to be functioning okay the touchscreen is fine yep let's see turn around and look at the camera can't see any evidence of water damage there looks pretty good pretty clear the real test to see if the iPhone had sustained any long-term water damage was to check that liquid contact indicator inside the phone but it hadn't activated which meant that no water had made its way inside the device and a week after the water test the phone was still going strong the speaker's just sounded a little more muffled thanks so much for watching make sure to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe and a big thanks to open ROV for making this all happen youwe know the iPhone 10 R and 10s are water resistant but how deep can these
