Pen Cool Play daily Q&A, today I will talk to you about netizens' questions "For mobile phones that claim to have IP68 waterproof, can theoretically use conventional washing for external cleaning?".See the figure below for details.
Wash IP68 mobile phones?I can't care if you're happy to wash it, but if you wash it badly, the manufacturer won't do it for free.
Theoretically waterproof: not afraid to rinse or even soak;In reality, probability: if the waterproof fails, you will be deflated.
When I went to the beach to play, my friend's iPhone was knocked into the water by someone else when she was playing, although she was quick to pick it up, she still inevitably soaked in the sea water for a while.
As we all know, seawater is more lethal to electronics than river water, because it contains salt, and after the salt water enters the machine, as the water evaporates, the sodium and chlorine compounds precipitate and adhere to the circuit board components, and then the failure caused by chemical corrosion may occur.
Some machines can still be used normally after falling into the water, but they will not work the next day. My friend's iPhone 7 just looks like nothing, but the aging of the fuselage has caused waterproof failure, and the seawater has entered it, and the function of the mobile phone is abnormal every two days, and it will soon develop to a black screen and cannot be turned on. The phone is broken, the buddy who is in trouble is very atmospheric, and directly compensated the girl for a new one, and the old mobile phone, only to find out that it may have to lose a lot of silver taels when it was repaired, and she went directly to someone as a scrap product.
Based on the experience of the surrounding Apple users at that time, there is a high probability that it will be denied insurance. Although the brand advertises what level it supports for waterproof and dustproof (note: the waterproof rating of iPhone7 is IP67), the user really lets the phone go into the water, and if it is broken, it will not give you free repair. Moreover, these waterproof and dustproof grades are all tested with pure water, and there is no guarantee that they can prevent seawater.
Until the promotional page of the last few generations of Apple mobile phones, it still maintains the small print statement that "IP68 level water and dust resistance is supported, but the mobile phone is no longer covered by the warranty when immersed in water" (original words: damage caused by immersion in liquid is not covered by the warranty). Apple also intimately sets up a "water immersion detection sticker" in the mobile phone, no matter how your phone enters the water, what kind of water enters, as long as it is determined that it is immersed, you can only admit it.
Why is it that IP68 has such a high level of waterproof ability, but it still can't 100% guarantee that the phone will not enter water?Two words: wear and tear.
The mobile phone is used frequently every day, and many factors such as collision and squeeze temperature and humidity will accelerate the decline of waterproof ability. For example, the waterproof glue is aging, the fuselage is cracked, and there is potential water vapor erosion, maybe it will happen at some point, and it will be okay to soak in water one second, and it may collapse the next moment.
How can ordinary users accurately judge whether the waterproof is invalid?The answer is unsolvable. We can only use it more securely, try not to get wet, accidentally soak in water and quickly fish it out, and honestly ventilate and dry. Occasionally washing it safe and sound does not mean that the waterproof is reliable, and it is lucky and risky, and once it is sent, you can only bear the loss.
By the way, what I just said is "waterproof but not waterproof", but there are exceptions. For example, AGM, a mobile phone brand that specializes in outdoor three-proof protection, some of their models that support high-level waterproofing can indeed be afraid of falling into the water without fear of damage (as shown in the figure below, AGM X5, support IP69K, and support water ingress warranty), because the propaganda page is black and white to do enough after-sales assurance, and people really care about you if they enter the water. In this way, it is also feasible to wash it frequently during the warranty period, at least it will not lose much if it is broken.
