Draw a boundary at bringing your phone in the shower. We know that getting away from your phone is hard - social media, ongoing texts, and work emails. Also keep in mind that liquid damage is not covered under Apple warranty. Over time, due to wear and tear, the resistance may decrease. In the case of the iPhone 14, the ceramic shield housing is resistant to these situations if in good condition. A rating of eight means "protected from immersion in water with a depth of more than one meter." The second number in the rating indicates the level of resistance to liquids. The ‘6’ in the rating indicates the level of resistance and protection to harmful dust. This rating describes how resistant the device is to dirt, dust, or liquids. Any cracks or breaks from daily use in the housing of your iPhone 14 can compromise the device and allow water inside. The first thing to know about IP ratings is that they’re tested with brand new devices. This includes accidental spills from common liquids, such as soda, beer, coffee, tea, and juice. IP ratings are the standard ratings for consumer electronics.

The iPhone 14 is splash-resistant and water-resistant and holds the same International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IP68 rating as its predecessors 12 and 13. A resistance of 6 meters deep for 30 minutes, you can rest a little easier if you drop your phone in the toilet or the pool. Apple has unveiled its new generation of iPhones and like previous iterations, the iPhone 14 can withstand water-resistant conditions.
