This is also true for the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max. For this reason, we want to clarify for you the question whether the two models are protected against the penetration of water and dust and if so, according to which IP classification.
IP protection class iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs
Max Both smartphones have the IEC standard 60529 and are IP68 classified. In plain language, this means that the smartphones can stay in the water for up to 30 minutes and at a depth of up to 2 metres.
