Pool chlorine, saltwater, and the force of moving water all go beyond the lab test, and Apple does not cover liquid damage under warranty.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is IP68 better than IP67?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, for submersion. Both ratings are fully dust-tight, but IP67 is tested at 1 meter for 30 minutes, while IP68 is tested deeper, at a depth the manufacturer sets. Apple rates the iPhone 12 and newer to 6 meters, and Samsung rates its IP68 Galaxy S phones to 1.5 meters.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does water resistance wear off over time?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Apple, Samsung, and Google all say water resistance is not permanent. Seals and adhesive wear with age, and drops, cracks, and repairs that open the phone can weaken them further. On an older used phone, treat the rating as splash protection rather than a guarantee.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is water damage covered by warranty?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Usually not. Apple, Samsung, and Google exclude liquid damage from their standard warranties, and the Swappa One-Year Limited Warranty excludes damage from water exposure. Some paid protection plans cover accidental damage, so check the plan terms if you have one.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which iPhone is the most water resistant?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Every iPhone from the iPhone 12 through the iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone Duo shares Apple's top rating: IP68 at 6 meters for 30 minutes. The iPhone 12 is the least expensive way to get that rating on Swappa, typically selling for about $166.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are foldable phones water resistant?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Most are, but not to the same level. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, and newer foldables, including the Z Fold8, Z Flip8, and Galaxy Z TriFold, are IP48, which covers submersion but only solids larger than 1 mm, so sand and fine dust are still a risk. The iPhone Duo, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are fully dust-tight IP68 phones.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I sell a water-damaged phone on Swappa?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. Swappa's listing criteria do not allow water damage, so a phone with liquid damage cannot be listed. If your phone got wet and stopped working, the better move is to replace it with a used phone that passed Swappa's listing review.\"}}]}","_swappa_updated_date":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2019],"tags":[373,168,216],"products":[],"class_list":["post-16015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phones","tag-google-pixel","tag-iphone","tag-samsung-galaxy"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":16015},"pll_sync_post":{},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16015"}],"version-history":[{"count":44,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31914,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16015\/revisions\/31914"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16015"},{"taxonomy":"products","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/products?post=16015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
