For many, the iPhone is just as important as designs and features. But sometimes the iPhone could be a friend of danger. Recently there has been an incident that has happened. Eight people survived because of an iPhone.
A report by technology insider on the technology website said that Rachel Neil and some of her friends went on an island in the coast of Okinawa, Pacific Ocean in a boat. On the way back they were caught by the waves of big wave. Everyone was wearing a life jacket.
Before taking into account the working of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), he had taken a bag of essential items. His bag was kept in the iPhone. But they were skeptical about whether the phone would be working or not. However, in the wet condition, it was able to communicate using the iPhone. After one and a half hours, the Coast Guard of Japan protects them.
Neil, however, used the model of the iPhone, but it was not mentioned in the report. However, the important thing is that the IP rating of the iPhone. Apple launches IP rating from iPhone 7 model The recently introduced iPhone X model has an IP 67 rating. This means that a phone with an IP 67 rating will work for 30 minutes under 3 feet 3 inches of water.
However Apple has used IP 68 rating on iPhone X and iPhone X Max. In this case, the iPhone 5 feet below the water drops below 30 minutes but it will not be harmed. Although there is an IP rating, sea salt water is not an advantage for electronic devices. That is why Rachel Nell's experience is unusual. He claims that he is still using the phone regularly.
