My kids went swimming with my iPhone 7+ but unfortunately, the phone did not survive.
It is waterproof though.
No... water RESISTANT. The only "water proof" Apple product, so far, is the Series 3 Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch is only water resistance, too.
Apple Watch Series 3 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 3 should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.
General rule of thumb: Never describe anything manmade as waterproof.
yeah if that was my daughter it would have broken, she the master of breaking phone displays.
Where are all the Android storied like this since they like to pick on Apple for be frail.
Unlock River (among others) does these 1000 foot drop tests on a regular basis over on YouTube. Had no idea it was a "thing" until this morning. Search "1000 foot drop test". I'm guessing that it's due to the way smartphones (and probably other flat rectangular items?) fall, in a rotating "helicopter" motion which slows the descent. Thanks @Tmay for that.
I was hoping that Nicole had something on her site about falling flat plates in free fall, and vortex shedding, which I think is the phenomenon that is occurring. That phones can reach what looks to be a stable, spinning configuration is interesting.
"Abstract. The phenomenon of flutter and tumble of objects in free fall has been studied using two- dimensional numerical simulations of uniform flow past a plate which is free to rotate about a fixed axis through its centroid. Particular focus is on the effect of Reynolds number and plate thickness-to-length ratio on the flutter-to-tumble transition and on the observed frequency of the angular motions. Simulations indicate that the tendency to tumble increases with increasing Reynolds number and decreasing thickness ratio. A case is also made that the tumbling frequency for two-dimensional plates is governed by a Kar- man type vortex shedding process. These results for this pinned plate have also been verified by simulating a limited number of free-fall cases."
it is kind of like the same phenomenon of cats that fall from multistory building in NYC. I will see if I can find the information. There are cases of cats falling from 3 to 4 stories and living than then they die between 5 and 9 but survive at much higher stories like 20 or 30. The reason seems to be around terminal velocity, between 5 and 9 stories cats are still accelerating and their velocity is increasing at a higher rate so it is hard for them to judge when impact will occur. After 9 stores their acceleration begins to slow and they can make the necessary adjustment upon landing.

Interesting infö you provided about the cats falling.

Oh right they're STILL talking about 14 iPhones that bent 4 years ago....
