According to The Investor next Apple smartphone will have a certification better waterproofing than the iPhone 7. You will pass it by the current to the latest IP67 IP68.
For the uninitiated, the IP67 certification numbers indicate the resistance of the device to dust and liquids. In particular, the first number (6) indicates the level of resistance to dust, while the second (7) indicates the resistance to liquids. The IP67 certification is awarded to the iPhone 7 currently on the market, but already this year we will probably see something better. The Investor argues the arrival of the new IP68 certification for iPhone of 2017 . Thanks to this phone will be able to resist until half an hour immersed to a depth of 1.5 meters .
The IP68 certification is certainly not new to the smartphone market. Many Android phones are already using this level of protection, such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 released last year. Apple certainly will not want to stay back from this point of view, so we think that the arrival of this new certification is quite likely. In addition, according to the latest rumors, Apple may introduce wireless charging the device by removing the Lightning port . Finally, even the Sleep / Wake button and the dedicated volume could become virtual, just like the iPhone’s Home button again 7. This would improve the water resistance of the device, making it particularly resistant to liquids
