iPhone 6S, Apple's flagship smartphone, is rumored to be finally getting a "water-resistant" casing.
As reported by PC Mag, before the iPhone 6S debuted, there were talks that the next iPhone will finally join its water-proof rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z4. And if new reports are correct, it seems that the newly released iPhone 6S is pretty close to being water-proof.
Add to the fact that a viral video from YouTube is making rounds on social media, showing the new iPhones being submerged under water but still managed to work.
In a related report by iFixit, it was found out that the new iPhone 6S was indeed, more water-resistant than the previous model. However, the site cautioned that it's still NOT completely water-proof, so intentionally submerging it in water will likely break the device.
As said by the report, "Of course, that was only a theory. But over the weekend some brave Apple fans introduced their new iPhones to a life aquatic. The phones didn't always emerge unscathed,"
The article further noted: "But the overall trend is clear: the 6s and 6s Plus are dramatically less prone to liquid damage than their predecessors. (They aren't, of course, completely waterproof-so don't jump into a pool with them or anything."
It's normal for owners to want their iPhone 6S protected from any damages. Some resort to functional and effective phone cases though bulky and really unflattering. However, there are more stylish ways to keep your iPhones protected while still looking good.
In a report by Chip Chick, the X-Doria Defense Lux, a third-party iPhone 6S casing, can provide ample protection with its shock-absorbent inner layer and hard polycarbonate exterior. It's not only effective, it's also been hailed as one of the most elegant-looking iPhone 6S cases available right now.
Newer gadgets like iPhone 6S and 6S Plus may be more advanced than ever before, but they are also prone to damage. Fortunately, Apple and a myriad of third-party case makers are working to help minimize this problem.
