How waterproof is the iPhone 11?

The iPhone 11 is not completely waterproof, but it is water-resistant. The device has an IP68 rating according to the international standard IEC 60529. This means that the iPhone 11 is resistant to:

• Submersion to a depth of 2 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes.
• Splashing water, rain and dust.

Although the iPhone 11 is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to water or other liquids can cause damage.

What do IP certifications mean?

IP certifications indicate how well a device is protected against dust and water:

• IP6x: Completely protected against dust.
• IPx8: Resistant to submersion in water to a certain depth and time, depending on the manufacturer's specifications.

The IP68 rating of the iPhone 11 means that the device is both dustproof and water-resistant, but not completely waterproof.

What to do in case of water damage?

If your iPhone 11 comes into contact with water:

• Dry the device immediately with a soft cloth.
• Turn off the iPhone and do not charge it.
• Let the device dry for at least 24 hours in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use a hairdryer or heat sources to dry the device.

Note that water damage is not covered by the standard Apple warranty.

Conclusion: The iPhone 11 is water-resistant up to 2 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes, but not completely waterproof. Avoid contact with water as much as possible to prevent damage.
