Introducción
El año pasado iPhoneX tenía un nombre extraño y los elementos internos más avanzados que habíamos visto en un desmontaje. Este año, Apple ha redoblado su esfuerzo con el nombre desconcertante de iPhone XS y XS Max. Este es el primer desmontaje doble y estamos desarmando ambos teléfonos simultáneamente, así que toma tus números romanos y empecemos.
Muchísimas gracias a nuestros amigos en Circuitwise por alojarnos en Sydney, Australia, donde los iPhones se lanzan antes y todas las tiendas de Apple están al revés, y a nuestros amigos en Creative Electron, por su imágenes increíbles y el uso apropiado de la letra X.
Nuestros enlaces en Facebook, Instagram, y Twitter. También tenemos un boletín informativo si eres el tipo de correo electrónico.

Resumen del Video
-
-
Después de su completo cambio de imagen el año pasado, el nuevo iPhone parece muy familiar, parece que estamos de vuelta en un ciclo de actualización tic / toc por el momento. Esto es lo que sabemos:
-
Ocho Núcleos A12 Bionic SoC con Motor Neural de última generación
-
Pantallas OLED Super Retina de 458 ppi de 5.8 "(2436 × 1125) y 6.5" (2688 × 1242) con True Tone, amplia gama de colores y 3D Touch
-
Cámaras posteriores de 12 MP (gran angular y teleobjetivo) con ƒ / 1.8 y ƒ / aberturas de 2.4 y OIS, y cámara selfie de 7 MP junto con el hardware FaceID TrueDepth
-
64 GB de almacenamiento integrado (configuraciones opcionales de 256 y 512 GB)
-
Gigabit-class LTE (no 5G) así como también Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac con MIMO + Bluetooth 5.0 + NFC
-
Mejora de la resistencia al polvo y al agua con una clasificación IP68
-
-
-
No somos de los que juzgan un libro por su portada de Gorilla Glass, pero estas portadas no sugieren que haya cambiado mucho desde la última X que vimos en esta mesa.
-
... Además del lujoso color dorado y la nueva opción de tamaño XL, es decir.
-
Por suerte, Creative Electron nos da un adelanto de los giros ocultos de la trama en la que nos podríamos encontrar. (Su técnica de alta tecnología aún usa rayos X)
-
-
-
Aquí tenemos todos nuestras decenas alineadas.
-
Notamos que una banda de antena adicional se ha movido donde solían vivir nuestros amigos del lado izquierdo del micrófono. Se rumorea que esto es para "Gigabit LTE" y parece marcar la diferencia.
-
Nuestro ingeniero de desmontaje duplica los controladores, demostrando una excelente disciplina de doble controlador a medida que comienza el desmontaje.
Why is the speaker holes not symetrical like the old iphone designs?
-
-
-
Apple puede estar cambiando su esquema de nombres, pero estamos contentos de que hayan dejado el procedimiento de apertura solo.
-
NuestroiOpenertiene doble función para ablandar el adhesivo escondido, y luego un asa de succión y un spudger haldberd entran para liberar la pantalla.
-
Aunque temíamos que Apple pudiera acumular más adhesivo para alcanzar esa nueva clasificación IP68, no nos fue peor abriendo estos teléfonos que con los predecesores con calificación IP67.
Didn't you skip the part of removing the 2 screws? Proofread your stuff
Did you miss step 3?
Dillan -
Patrick, it’s in the picture of step 3. Pay attention.
-
-
-
Estamos un poco cortos de personal en este desmontaje 2 x 1, así que llamamos a un poco músculo local para ayudarnos a arrancar.
-
Resulta que la falta de pulgares oponibles nos atrasa un poco, pero nuestros conductores lo hacen tan fácil que incluso un canguro puede hacerlo.
-
Con las pantallas fuera del camino, comenzamos a notar algunas diferencias entre XS y XS Max.
-
Se ha cambiado el tamaño al motor Táptico dentro del XS Max. ¿Teléfono grande, vibraciones más grandes?
-
El XS Max también tiene una placa lógica extendida, con uno de los conectores de pantalla movidos hacia abajo.
-
La batería XS parece extraña y nueva, mientras que la batería XS Max se adhiere a un diseño familiar.
I can't with the Wikipedia hyperlink. Thanks, Taylor.
-
-
-
En la búsqueda de signos de mejora de la prueba de ingreso, volvemos nuestra atención al espacio abierto más grande en el dispositivo: la ranura para tarjeta SIM.
-
Con el conjunto superior de periféricos distribuidos, finalmente podemos dirigir nuestra atención a la parte más importante de cada iPhone de la serie S: ¡la placa lógica!
Will a locked US phone be able to use a sim or an esim from a second (non-US) carrier?
From Apple support:
To use two different carriers, your iPhone must be unlocked. Otherwise, both plans must be from the same carrier. If a CDMA carrier provides your first SIM, your second SIM won't support CDMA. Contact your carrier for more information.
Does the sim slot on the board have contacts on both sides that would support the dual tray if it could fit through the housing?
Why my phone shows no service but i changed to another phone , its works fine
-

Ya que hemos visto este tipo de placa lógica antes, hemos mejorado nuestra técnica para separar este sándwich de PCB. Veamos qué hay encima de la capa superior (XS a la izquierda, XS Max a la derecha):
-

-
CI de envío de energia Cypress CPD2 USB
-
Multiplexor de puerto de pantalla NXP CBTL1612
-
Convertidor CC de la batería Texas Instruments 61280
Question: What the hack happened to the first pictures Kondensators on the right site? Was it like this when you got it?
melting a circuit board apart is hard, and stuff gets shifted.

-
Computadora, acercar y mejorar la parte inferior de la placa superior:
-
Apple APL1W81 A12 Bionic SoC en capas sobre Micron MT53D512M64D4SB-046 4 GB LPDDR4X SDRAM
-
STMicroelectronics STB601A0 IC de administración de energía (posiblemente para Face ID)
-
3 amplificadores de audio Apple 338S00411, dos para estéreo y uno para hápticos
-
Circuito integrado de administración de energía Apple 338S00383-A0 (posiblemente de Dialog Systems)

-
Circuito integrado de administración de energía del sistema Apple 338S00375 (posiblemente de Dialog Systems)
-
Cargador de batería TI SN2600B1
Any ideas how the dual SIM support (physical SIM’s) will work for the China only model? In the presentation Phil stated the two SIM’s would be held in the carrier back to back.
For all the other’s I assume the eSIM would have the ability to support two SIM codes on the Xs. And on the Xs Max one physical and one eSIM is that correct?
It looks like one SMT Component was placed a little skewed in the upper left corner?
I'll bet that capacitor shifted while separating the top board.
who are Dialog Systems?
Dialog https://www.dialog-semiconductor.com/
Dialog used to provide PMIC for Apple iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and iPod. Apple processor-based system always uses Dialog’s PMIC solution. But, from iPhone XS Max, seems, Apple starts to uses its own design on PMIC just as Dialog said that before. refer to https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc...

Al excavar un poco más profundo, encontramos la placa de RF (XS a la izquierda, XS Max a la derecha):
-
Apple / USI 339S00551 (XS) y 338S00540 (XS Max) WiFi / Bluetooth SoC
-
Procesador / módems de banda base Intel PMB9955 (probable XMM7560)
-

-
Controlador NXP 100VB27 NFC
-
Módulo de carga inalámbrico Broadcom 59355A210646
which one is the gps chip?
intel modem supports GNSS feature. It won’t have discrete GNSS chip in the iPhone XS.
JJ Wu -
Why would the modems be different between the two phones?
At least I’m glad Apple is finally selling one model of iPhone Xs/Xs Max for all carriers in the U.S. although I would prefer they had a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 instead. The whole mess with Qualcomm chips on one model (A1865) and Intel chips on another (A1901) on the X last year was quite a childish call from Apple, IMO.
Does iphone xs max launched in china and hong kong have embedded sim with yellow marked?
-

Tablero RF parte dos:
-
Avago 8092M alto/medio (PAD)
-

Whats happening with those caps in the centre top?
It stands for power amplifier duplexer—I updated the teardown with it spelled out.
-
-
-
¡Hora de hablar de las cámaras! El S-año a menudo viene con una actualización de la cámara, y Apple tenía mucho que decir sobre estos nuevos sensores.
-
El tamaño del sensor gran angular se ha aumentado en un 32%.
-
El tamaño de píxel también se ha visto afectado, brindando un mejor rendimiento con poca luz y contribuyendo a la nueva característica "Smart HDR".
-
Había una cosa que Apple olvidó mencionar sobre la nueva cámara: todo el 32% tuvo que ir a algún lado, y resultó que el bache de la cámara tuvo que crecer un poco; es posible que su iPhone X no encaje en su iPhone XS.
-
Actualización de desmontaje:Hicimos un poquito de pruebas y los módulos de cámara del XS y XS Max parecen ser idénticos, lo que significaba que puedes intercambiar la misma cámara entre modelos sin ningún problema.
What are the dimensions of the new vs old camera modules?
And what make and type have they used please
-
-
-
Después de analizar los cerebros y los ojos, echamos un vistazo a la fuerza que alimenta estos teléfonos.
-
El XS incluye una batería de 10.13 Wh (2.659 mAh a 3.81 V), con un peso de 39.5 g, ligeramente inferior a la X del año pasado.
-
Pero esta disminución en la capacidad viene con una configuración de batería nueva y salvaje. En lugar de usar dos celdas para llenar este hueco en forma de L, Apple ha construido una batería de celda única completamente nueva.
-
La batería XS Max, como era de esperar, aparece en la capacidad superior, con 12.08 Wh (3.179 mAh a 3.80 V) y un peso de 46.6 g. Sin embargo, ¡no hay una sola célula aquí!
-
-
-
Hagamos una profunda inmersión en el origami de la batería de Apple:
-
Desde el año 2015, cuando se anunció la MacBook de 12"con una batería aterrazada, Apple ha buscado cada vez más aprovechar cada espacio en el chasis de sus dispositivos utilizando baterías contorneadas.
-
Estas patentes muestran soluciones que han encontrado para solucionar problemas difíciles como la expansión térmica, el uso de diferentes tamaños de capas y el plegado preciso de láminas de electrodos recortadas en formas complejas para adaptarse a esos contornos.
-
Las esquinas y bordes adicionales de la batería de una sola celda en el XS serán propensos a un estrés adicional; será interesante ver cómo se desempeña esta nueva batería a medida que envejece.
The single L shape has me concerned. Especially in low degree countries where temporal heat plus use could make expansion an issue. How did they manage to reinforce the 90 degree angle so as to not break the line and cause a runaway?!?
Maybe some crazy could dissect the battery and see what they did
-
-
-
Lo que fue revolucionario el año pasado se está convirtiendo rápidamente en equipamiento estándar: tanto el XS como el XS Max vienen equipados con una matriz de sensores para la elegante tecnología Face ID de Apple.
-
¡Es hora de pescar a los hacedores de ruido! El motor y el altavoz Taptic salen en un conjunto, pero se separan fácilmente para el reemplazo modular.
-
Hablando de lo mismo, los ensamblajes de altavoz auricular coinciden casi de manera idéntica en los XS y XS Max, con solo un poco de volumen de altavoz adicional para Max.
Nice to have more FPC connectors.
-
-
-
Mientras revisamos la parte inferior del teléfono encontramos algunos chips de visualización sabrosos y un barril de pequeños cables en el cuerpo.
-
Parece que el vidrio trasero todavía está atrapado entre la protuberancia de la cámara y el marco con docenas de pequeñas soldaduras.
-
-
-
Nuestro desmontaje sincronizado de dos teléfonos ha llegado a una conclusión ordenada.
-
Sospechamos que esto marca el comienzo de una nueva era en el diseño de la batería del iPhone: el concepto de célula sencilla cuidadosamente contorneado se limita al XS más pequeño por ahora, pero esperamos volver a verlo pronto. ¿iPhone XR, tal vez?
-
Enormes gracias nuevamente a nuestros amables anfitriones de Circuitwise en Sydney, Australia, y a nuestros mejores amigos en Creative Electron por su impresionante fotografía de rayos X.
-
Ah, y una cosa más: es hora de asignar un puntaje general de reparabilidad.
-
- La pantalla y las reparaciones de la batería siguen siendo una prioridad en el diseño del iPhone.
- Se puede reemplazar una pantalla rota sin quitar el hardware biométrico Face ID.
- El uso liberal de tornillos es preferible al pegamento, pero tendrás que llevar los destornilladores específicos de Apple (Pentalobe y tri-point) además de un Phillips estándar.
- Las medidas de impermeabilización complican algunas reparaciones, pero dificultan las reparaciones difíciles por daños causados por el agua.
- El vidrio en la parte delantera y trasera duplica la probabilidad de daños por caídas, y si se rompe el vidrio trasero, quitará todos los componentes y reemplazará todo el chasis.

This phone is really similar to the X, but the battery thing is interesting.
I'm guessing they are released a little earlier in New Zealand than Australia, I'm surprised you don't go there to tear them down?
They did! they where in Sydney, Australia
Dan -
But they were beaten to the punch by a Dutch company because the provider started to sell the devices 1 day too early
FD Tech -
iFixit still is the #1 on teardown - the Dutch guys were first, but no way as detailed as iFixit guys always are.
Why Xs and Xs Max have different types of battery?
Slightly different phones. I’d think the two piece of the max, a larger and thus hotter display, is actually safer.
Wonder how long it takes to charge that XS Max battery on the included 5W brick (it’s not 12/5 exactly, since it slows down towards the last 20%). Come on now Apple, it’s time to include fast chargers.
Considering there is three stages of charging 5w 12w and USBC brick USBC to lighting , At least the could supply the abundant 12 watt chargers. I Also always felt ripped off on this. All I could put it down to was space saving in the packaging for the short changing
Considering the battery brouhaha I find it not surprising at all - after all, faster charging creates higher heat which can result in premature battery death.

Is the display from LG or Samsung? They still using the modem from Qualcomm? Thanks
I was wondering the same thing on the display.
The modems are intel
Dillan -
LG makes Apple screens buddy, the days of Samsung and Apple for screens been over since 2017 - as well as Apple & Qualcomm for modems - they are all at “war” - all modems are made by Intel, even though Intel modems can’t beat Qualcomm, nor LG’s screens cant beat Samsung.
I guess like last year Samsung. In the Oled segment Samsungs ycreens aren't as likely to burn in.
XS displays are from Samsung, XS-Max are from LG, but they are both designed by Apple. Apple actually uses their own OLED display design and I’m not talking about the dimensions, I’m talking about the actual display technology. Apple’s just using Samsung and LG to mfg. Apple’s display designs.
To mbc2302000,
This is incorrect.
The manufacturing process of OLEDs is extremely complicated and the underlying technology of the display comes from the manufacturer so that customers can benefit from economies of scale. This is why Apple is never specific about the technology behind the display except using the word “custom” because they are neither the designer of the technology nor the inventor; they are merely the customer and do not understand the technology (But they sure love tricking their customers into thinking they played a role in the tech’s development.
Apple just picks which display they want to buy and customize it a bit like how you would customize a pizza from dominos. None of the customizations are about the underlying technology; it’s just simple things like dimensions and color gamut.
The display from Samsung’s AMOLED, it is the best smart-phone display in the world before S10 at the next year, but modems are intel,beacuse the lawsuit between Apple & Qualcomm,i think.
Are the XS and the X screens interchangeable? Or did apple make enough of a change to make them different?
I am wondering the same!
the screens are not interchangeable b/c the size dimensions are different - 5.8” vs 6.5” screen sizes
Troy - re-read the question. Brandon said X & XS - they are both 5.8
I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work. The only reason these screens wont work together is if apple put some software implication to stop users from switching the screens out.
Yes, you can see this on the product page.
Hmm. Sorry I was asking about the wifi antennas. The LTE sure has 4x4 antennas. But the wifi is still only 2x2!
DheerajR -
Is the new Broadcom GPS receiver with up to 30 cm precision in the iPone? This would be a very, very big deal.
I think it isnt the Broadcom 47755 or iFixIt would of called it out. iFixIt team, can you please let us know what the GPS chip is. Thanks.
Carl -
intel modem supports GNSS feature. It won’t have discrete GNSS chip in the iPhone XS.
JJ Wu -
From what I can find the L5 signal is still considered pre-operational as it won't have full coverage for several years due to the delay in Block III deployment. While I was also hoping for the same chip I can understand is not being a priority if the system won't be fully deployed until the iPhone 12 or 12s at the earliest.
I also wonder why modems are different on each board, different Intel part numbers…
Intel modems might be decent, definitely cheaper than Qualcomm, but they no way as fast or come near to being fast as Qualcomm ones.
No. Apple NEVER lets you get away with using previous year phone parts in the current year’s phones!! HAH!
Already did, the iPhone SE uses the display of 5S
I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work. The only reason these screens wont work together is if apple put some software implication to stop users from switching the screens out !
It was stated that iPhone XS uses Micron MT53DS12 LPDDR4X SDRAM but not the amount. What was the amount?
Pretty certain I read the XS and XS Max have 4GB, and the XR will have 3GB.
iPhone XS Max: 3,174mAh / 4GB RAM
iPhone XS: 2,658mAh / 4GB RAM iPhone X: 2,716mAh / 3GB RAM
iPhone XR: 2,942mAh / 3GB RAM iPhone 8 Plus: 2,675mAh / 3GB RAM

eric -
It wasn’t stated on the teardown when I first posted, until now. And I never take rumors to be true until I see it in a tear down.
Josh -
Can you give us the measurement of the camera sensors? Everyone is saying 32% larger but I’d love to know the specific sensor sizes. Thank you!
How did this score better than the Note 9?!! Is there a bit of apple bias here? Considering that iFixit is the company that complains about pentalobe, tripoint, etc, it would seem like you give apple higher scores than warranted?
Note9 Assembly is glued shut, and harder to open (plus the display is virtually irreplaceable) whereas on the iPhone, its a way easier process to open up the device, and replace the display
^What Andrew said. It’s true pentalobes and tri-points are a bummer compared to standard screw types, but any screw is vastly preferable to glue. The two most common phone repairs are screens and batteries, and Apple’s designs make those repairs easy compared to late-model Samsungs.
No USB3.0 Data Speed again. Still USB 2.0
That’s the first thing I looked for when I got my XS Max lol
Love this so much! Thanks, Guys! My FixIt addiction has temporarily been fixed!
:)
Where are the new stereo microphones located on the exterior?
Does the iPhone X screen fit the Xs ?
I did the work my self (sorta) Please test out to confirm this.
I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work.

Seems to be a lot more room for a headphone jack….
Ya I thought there would be one of you guys here. You realize no ones changing there mind even if you don’t buy there phone in protest, Right? Millions other will just buy it, cause they don’t give a crap about moving away from the past as you so pathetically continue to hold onto.
So keep complaining little one it means nothing to anyone, but it is funny for those self aware enough to laugh at your stupidity. In thinking anyone would change because your pathetic ass told them too. You won’t ever have that power but keep trying, it makes for an adorable scene thats for sure.
You mean if iFixit will be able to sell replacements likely yes but since its the OLED variant it will take time for them to get quality replacements out. Just be patient and don’t break your XS series phone that quick. lol
Are there any differences in the FaceID Sensors compared with the X? Still a STM ToF sensor and TI Flood Illuminator?
Same thing I was wondering, from this tear down it seems like there is no Flood Illuminator. @ValinV
The flood illuminator is mounted to the display, same as on iPhone X. It’s on the same flex as the ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, and earpiece speaker.
M12 Motion Co processor? It seems like Apple forgot about this chip this year.
It is integrated inside of the A12 SoC.
Can someone please post what the BOM cost is or Bare materials cost. For both models of course we had it for them last year but no one seems to be talking about it hear or anywhere. So ya that info would be much appreciated
thanks
Charging coil is now made of copper for efficiency and shorter charging times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdMV7c0e...
Why didn’t iFixit include this?
Hello friend, many times the guides of iFixit shows the most acecible and primordial of the team in the disarmament guides, without detracting from the contributions of the users which are very important for the iFixit community of repair, we appreciate your very important contribution Thank you very much for your feedback.
Miguel -
Thanks you all for your work.
I have just a comment : the stereo tracks seems to be reversed on Youtube videos with 2 girls on “iPhone XS Max Teardown LIVE with BEER!”
It was rumoured that the 512GB iPhones will have more RAM than the lower versions. Is this true?
Nothing about the new wireless charging coil changes?
Can iPhone Xs rear camera fit on the X? Assuming we also change the camera glass bump.?
Anyone able to confirm if displays can be swapped with any loss of functionality? IE Face ID breaking or loss of ALS?
Have you guys given up answering questions? Usually you’re quick to respond! Does the FaceID/TrueDepth look to be the same as in the X? TechInsights is claiming that there are new components, but the pictures don’t necessarily justify that…
@nostrathomas We didn’t tear down the individual Face ID components (nor did we on last year’s model), so we can only speculate. There certainly don’t look to have been any major changes. I would guess the increased speed is mainly thanks to the A12/neural engine rather than changes to the Face ID hardware itself.
Hi you all. As i dont find any hint about this.
Step 7 Logic Board 1. Picture: What the hack happened Kondensators on the right site? Was it like this when you got it? As you clearly see there are huge soldering issues. Usually i exspect this failures when design is not optimized for SMD Oven. But i hope that 1. ppl on ifixit had to apply a lot of heat (up to 270°) or 2. this Iphone was not working before and therefore was taken for a teardown?
Would love to get some clarification on that. Thanks !
Hi Jan! That bit of carnage was our fault, and not a manufacturing issue. We’re a small team trying to get a lot done in a very compressed timeframe, and sometimes we slip up! Nothing to worry about, just got clumsy separating the board layers. We have a better procedure in place so that shouldn’t happen next time. Thanks for keeping a sharp eye!
What was the final Beer Time!?!
Can you teardown XS and XS Max battery(pcb part only) too ? I really wonder how apple handles dual cell battery pack. As far as i know dual cell will have dual resistance profile so you cant handle it with single Fuel Gauge. According to XRay there seems 3 wlcsp chips. So maybe 2 piece fuel gauge and 1 controller to merge cell states (voltage , remaining capacity etc.) to single I2C or HDQ line. I really wonder this
Curious about the size of the depth sensor & camera assembly. Slim enough to fit into a macbookpro screen as frontfacing?
If so, I wonder why they kept it out of the new airs.
Will a iPhone 8 motherboard work with a iPhone XS Max if hook camera up too
Anyone know where the Apple Pay Chipset is located at?
Is there anyway I can convert my iPhone XS to an iPhone XS Max. I am thinking about purchasing a cloud locked iPhone XS Max if I’m able to input the necessary XS hardware into the XS Max. What hardware would I need to take out of my XS if this does work? Can’t find information on this anywhere.
Can you repair the front screen and the back glass?
Ok what are the screw driver sizes needed for the XR cause the ones I bought that came with the screen from you guys is the wrong one an I can not for the life if me find what size is actually needed please help
Hello! If you think you got the wrong screwdriver size from us, please contact our customer support and we will get it sorted for you! To work on the XR, you will need a Pentalobe P2, Tri-point Y000, and Phillips #000. You can find all of our iPhone XR guides here.
Were you guys able to figure out the vibration frequency (Hz) of the taptic engine? Looking for this info everywhere but I can’t find it.
If xs turn into iphone xs max, will it work?
Where is the proper teardown instructions? The details of bolts and how to remove each modules? Why has it become so simplistic and entertainment-centric, what it once used to be a great resource for repairs? Am I the only one feeling that the teardowns have become dumbed down?
These are not “steps” as they do not contain any valid instructions, it’s misleading. Should be named “tour of iPhone components” instead.
Hi! You're right—iFixit teardowns are educational first-looks into a device, so in a way it is a "tour of the iPhone components". For actual details on how to remove and replace components, you should look to our guides instead!
my flashlight and camera stop working, what could be the problem? I have replaced the camera multple times but i dont think thats the problem
what is the material of the tray and volume buttons?
Is the screen made by Samsung or LG

You people wrongly understood the ip rating , 2 metres in a narrow tube can’t make a commendable pressure to break through the ingress protection. Same will not withstand in a higher volume tank or pond where the pressure is relatively higher than this thinner tube
Jacob C - Contestar
I have this phone and forgot it was on my patio table when I lightly hosed it off, it barely got wet and there was no water under the cover but then bright green lines appeared on the screen from top to bottom, it shut itself off and won’t turn back on. Used blow dryer lightly, left it in rice, tried to force restart but phone does not respond to anything, its completely dead. On youtube it’s submerged in water and they get it to work. Mine barely got wet and it’s dead.
