How Well Does The iPhone 7 Handle Water, Bend, Drop, Speed And Scratch Tests?
Worlds first iphone7 dropped for testing such an amazing video shows the power of apple
One of the biggest selling points of the iPhone 7 is that it is splash, water and dust resistant with a rating of IP67. Specifically the iPhone 7 can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Apple made this possible by removing the 3.5mm headphone jack from iPhone 7 devices. The iPhone 7 line of devices were crafted with 7000 series aluminum alloy, which is the same material that is used for the iPhone 6S. After the iPhone 7 started shipping, several reviewers put the devices to the test in regards to how it handles water submersion, bending, dropping, speediness and scratching.

Interestingly, Apple’s warranty for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus does not cover liquid damage. So warranty service company SquareTrade decided to put the iPhone 7 through a water test. When SquareTrade
submerged the iPhone 7 in one meter of water for 30 minutes, it
survived with temporary audio muffling. Temporary audio muffling is
common for IP67 and IP68 devices that have been used in showers and
baths.
EverythingApplePro conducted a more specific water depth test for the iPhone 7 against the Samsung Galaxy S7 (IP68) by sinking it at different increments. In the first test, the iPhone 7 was submerged five feet in the Columbia River for five minutes. Fortunately, none of the devices were damaged in that test. After 5 minutes in 10 feet, 20 feet and 30 feet of water, both devices survived without moisture in any of the cameras. When the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7 devices were submerged 35 feet deep, the iPhone 7 continued to work -- but the Galaxy S7 stopped working:
