Apple’s smartphones iPhones 7 and later, all the way up through the latest iPhone 13, are considered water resistant. Nonetheless, the degree of the shield varies amongst the models of the iPhone in this collection.
Waterproof iPhones: A list
iPhone models and their degree of protection (IP Code)
The iPhone variants here are considered the most water-resistant and have achieved a rating of IP68, which means a maximum depth of 6 meters for up to 30 minutes.
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 13 mini
- iPhone 13 Pro
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 12 mini
- iPhone 12 Pro

The iPhone models in this group are slightly less water resistant and carry a rating of IP68. It means you can keep the handset in a water depth of a maximum of four metres for up to 30 minutes.
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
The iPhone models below have a rating of IP68. They can stay maximum depth of two metres for up to 30 minutes.
- iPhone 11
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
The iPhone models in this category reached the rating of IP67. Your phone could go to a maximum depth of one metre for up to 30 minutes.

It should be noted that a smartphone’s protection rating does not stay permanent. If one submerges his iPhone 13 in water for 20 minutes, it will be protected at that time. But if one were to keep submerging it multiple times, its degree of protection might decrease over time.
