Water-Resistance of iPhone 12 Pro LCD

 

The iPhone 12 Pro LCD is rated IP68 under the IEC Standard 60529. So, if you drop it in water up to 6 meters deep and it stays there for 30 minutes, there will be no harm to the 12 Pro LCD. The new iPhone 12 Pro and its other three variants are the most advanced phones with the latest features and functionality.

With time every new Apple is ensuring that it offers maximum water resistance, protecting the gadget from damage due to fluids in general. According to a survey, 39% of all smartphones' LCD’s damage due to water. Accidental drops in the pool, water spills or damage due to any other fluid is the main reason why smartphones get damaged.

And mostly damage due to fluid, undoubtedly lead you to expensive repairs. The repairing cost of the damaged parts is so high that you even end up thinking of buying a new phone.

Apple is ruling the market this long as they expect the unexpected. The design and build quality of the iPhone 12 Pro LCD allowed Apple to get authorization from the IEC technical committee. This premium design made sure that the iPhone 12 Pro LCD is safe from fluid damage.

When water damage issues were faced by customers and reported to Apple, the company from iPhone 7 onwards released only water-resistant iPhones.

Apple’s iPhone 7 was the first iPhone to get an IP67 rating. This makes it safe to be dropped or submerged underwater for 30 mins up to 1m deep.

If it is possible that the iPhone can submerge underwater for this long, then we are confident that the iPhone 12 Pro LCD can handle any accidental liquid spills. This innovation is good but not true in every case.

Is the iPhone 12 Pro LCD water-resistant or waterproof?

There is a huge difference between smartphones' water-resistant and waterproof capabilities.
Usually, both these terms are used interchangeably, but these vary from each other and have separate meanings.

Water-resistant:

By water resistant, we mean that the phone is capable to resist water and withstand a certain amount of water exposure for a certain time. The iPhone 12 Pro LCD case is capable of withstanding water spills or exposure for 30 minutes to a depth of 6 meters.

Exposure longer than 30 minutes or to a depth increasing more than 6 meters can affect the iPhone 12 Pro LCD and all other parts.

Waterproof:

By Waterproof, we mean water cannot penetrate the device. It means there is no possible way for fluid to penetrate through the device and damage external or internal parts. It is 110% sure that there will be no chance of water damage.
No mobile brand/ manufacturer to date has given this kind of guarantee. Apple itself claims that high-speed water can damage the iPhone and even kill it.

Does the Apple warranty period cover damage due to liquids?

No, Apple does not cover damage due to liquid or any other fluid, though iPhone holds IP ratings from IEC. They do not ensure free repair or replacement of damaged parts due to liquid.

So, what can you do if your iPhone gets wet?

If you accidentally spill juice, tea, or any other liquid on your iPhone 12 Pro LCD, you can rinse the affected part with clean water and wipe it off with a dry cloth. Remember not to fully rinse the device in water, you can clean it easily with a wet cloth.

MK Mobile recommends not opening iPhone 12 Pro SIM jacket unless the device is fully dry. Try to place it under airflow in a dry area. Do not risk drying your iPhone 12 Pro with external heat sources, possibly a hair dryer or a heat gun. Heating it with a hair dryer or heat gun may damage the iPhone 12 Pro LCD, as it is fragile. A mild mistake can kill your iPhone 12 Pro leading you to buy a new phone.

Wait for the iPhone 12 Pro to completely dry first, and do not risk putting it on charging. There might be some liquid residue somewhere in the charging port which can damage the internal parts especially the iPhone 12 Pro Battery. The iPhone 12 charging port is directly linked to the battery, so the battery is linked to the main logic board. So, if there is water by any chance it will damage the entire phone internally as well.

Protecting your iPhone 12 Pro LCD from liquid damage is vital as it is not covered by Apple either. You can either try to keep it away from water sources or use a waterproof case for the iPhone 12 Pro.

You are recommended to follow the above tips if your iPhone 12 Pro ever gets submerged in liquids.

Not to forget the iPhone 12 Pro LCD comes with the best water resistance to date. So, if your priority is to keep the LCD safe from damage, you can trust the iPhone 12 Pro LCD.

Remember it's an electrical component that may fail on chance no one can guarantee its life. The manufacturers and customers cannot claim water damage.
