So...Apple thinks their products are #1, but apparently they’re #2.
(Think about it...)
Coke. Dang spell corrector.
I thought ‘comb.’ LOL
More phone for less dollars:
I was thinking you were thinking of something else!
Actually, I was. ;)
Ingress Protection (IP) is the name of the standard that was drawn up by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to determine how resistant an electrical device is to fresh water and common raw materials – like dirt, dust and sand.
The first digit after IP is the rating the IEC assigned a unit for its resistance to solids. In this case, it’s six – which means no “harmful” dust or dirt seeped into the unit after being in direct contact with the matter eight-hours.
For moisture, “There are two leading ratings at present – seven and eight, with the former meaning that the device can be submerged in up to one meter of fresh water for half an hour, and the latter up to 1.5 meters for half an hour.”
Moisture Protection
First number 6 is “Protection from contact with harmful dust”
IP Code second number Protection Level:
- Protection against vertically dripping water
- Protection against vertically dripping water when device is tilted at an angle up to 15 degrees
- Protection against direct sprays of water when device is tilted at an angle up to 60 degrees
- Protection from sprays and splashing of water in all directions.
- Protection from low-pressure water projected from a nozzle with a 6.3mm diameter opening in any direction
- Protection from water projected in powerful jets from a nozzle with a 12.5mm diameter opening in any direction
- Protected from immersion in water with a depth of up to 1 meter (or 3.3 feet) for up to 30 mins
- Protected from immersion in water with a depth of more than 1 meter (manufacturer must specify exact depth)
I’ve seen various designations defining the IP of a device, with some saying IP(X8) as more than 1 meter and some saying more than 1.5 meters, and some saying IP68(<100M), it’s manufacturer’s choice, but your LOL shows you really don’t know what you are blithering about, or choose to just dismiss international standards.
IP68 on one chart claims permanent submersion up to 4 meters, while IP65, the rating of the iPhone 6 through 6s, allows “protection against powerful jets and heavy seas,” not that I would be trying to use one in a powerful jet or heavy sea. There was a recent story about a fellow who lost his AppleWatch 3 (IP67) while surfing, and it was found in the surf, three miles up the coast, a bit battered, but still working.
He should have tried wireless charging it while it was still in his stomach, y’know, for science. ;^)
ROTFLMAO! And you say I don’t know what I am talking about!
Unsupported repeated ignorant assertions get you no where in the face of the quoted facts I posted. Not even a good try, troll.
