Undoubtedly, iPhone 7 has IP67 rating, which means it is both water and dust resistant but to certain extent. The device can tolerate 1 meter deep water within 30 minutes of time frame, which makes it not a phone carried all along while scuba diving. However, you can still take it into rain, long walks on the beach to fishing trips and whitewater rafting.

Despite this protection, Apple says that liquid damage is not under warranty. So here are few thing you need to if your iPhone 7 gets wet.

First of all the activities you should avoid is to bath and swim with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The other activities include showering, water skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, and Jet skiing. These activities have also the risk of contaminating iPhone as it has soapy, salty and chlorinated water in them.

The water resistance is not that you take iPhone 7 with you while swimming to capture underwater snaps, it is primarily because of accidental drop in shallow water.

If the iPhone drops in water, dry it with cloth and remove all cables and dongles. Remove water from Lightning connector facing it down while tapping gently with your hands. Place iPhone is dry area where there is airflow to let on drying it slowly. Wait for 5 hours before charging a wet handset. Apple says let it dry completely before connecting a charger.
