Video transcript

Modern iPhones are water-resistant, but not completely waterproof. Depending on the model, they can survive in water for up to 30 minutes at a certain depth (generally up to 1-2 meters). However, this doesn't make them impervious to water damage. It is still prudent to avoid exposing your iPhone to water whenever possible. If accidentally submerged, immediately dry it using a soft cloth and avoid charging it until completely dry.
