Are the new 6s and 6s Plus iPhones waterproof?

This is a question that many people are starting to ask.

The short answer is, not exactly.

To better answer this, we went ahead and ran a quick test. Like other videos you may see, we submerged it in water for about 1 min 58 seconds. The phone seemed to work fairly well after we pulled it out of the sink, with the exception of the microphone and the loudspeaker.

We wanted to find out what exactly is making this phone hold up so much better than other generations when submerged in water.

The simple answer is a thin piece of adhesive that is factory applied between the glass, LCD assembly, and back housing that effectively seals the top part of the phone and makes it somewhat impermeable, but not completely. This adhesive is not found in any other generation/model iPhone. It is similar to the Apple Watch, where the glass is sealed with a strong adhesive, which prevents water from penetrating the internals of the device.

When we cracked it open, we found some moisture by the ear speaker, on the rear camera, and in the charging port. But it was significantly less than what would have been found in a previous generation phone under the same circumstances.

While we don’t recommend that you take this phone swimming or take a shower with it, we will say it is a lot less likely you’ll suffer water damage should you spill a drink or drop your phone in the sink. Are the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus waterproof? Probably not, but definitely water-resistant.

Should you have any questions regarding liquid damage or devices in general, please feel free to contact us at 888-494-4349 or email us at [email protected]. iFixYouri carries a full range of iPhone repair services as well as iPad services from cracked screens to water damage and more.

 

iPhone Boot-Up Time Comparison: 6S vs. 6 vs. 5S vs. 5 vs. 4 vs. 3GS

The iPhone 6S is here, so we decided to do a boot-up time comparison across several generations of iPhones (6S, 6, 5S, 5, 4 and 3GS). The method was as follows:

  • Power off all phones.
  • Simultaneously start a digital timer at the same time (manually) as pressing the power up button.
  • Compare the boot up times

Obviously when the human element is involved in timing, there is a small degree of error. Despite that, and since the results are not that close, the results are pretty interesting and surprising.

  1. iPhone 6S – 20.99s
  2. iPhone 6 – 22.31s
  3. iPhone 4 – 26.83s
  4. iPhone 5S – 30.11s
  5. iPhone 3GS – 30.73s
  6. iPhone 5 – 34.16s

Not surprisingly, the iPhone 6S, with its high powered custom-designed 64-bit A9 chip, took first place. This chip claims a performance level once found only in desktop computers, up to 70 percent faster CPU performance, and up to 90 percent faster GPU performance, according to the Apple website. The iPhone 4 had a good showing, coming in third. Also of note is the last place finish of the iPhone 5.

Do you notice your iPhone 6S being faster (or slower) than previous generation iPhones? We’ve heard from many people that they felt like iOS 8 was a bit faster than iOS 9. Now that iOS 10 is out, as well as the iPhone 7, maybe people will have more to say about their iPhone speed. Let us know in the comments. If your phone is slow and beyond saving, iFixYouri offers cash for used phones through our buy-back program. We also offer a full range of iPhone Repair Services.

iPhone 6S Touch ID (2nd Gen) Speed Comparison vs iPhone 6 & iPhone 5s Touch ID (1st Gen)

This video brought to you by iFixYouri and our friends at 9to5mac.com. The iPhone 6s Touch ID, in its second generation, and the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5 with their first generation touch ID go head to head in this comparison video. You can see the 6s is a bit faster than the 6, with the 5s just being difficult.

While this test does have a degree of human element involved (everyone’s fingerprint is unique after all, as well as their thumb size/shape too), after doing several takes for the video, it was clear that the second generation touch ID of the iPhone 6s is faster than its predecessor. Also of note, the iPhone 5s repeatedly had problems and required several tries. User error? Possibly, but the 5s has the same sensor as the 6… the first generation version. It’s not going to test faster than the 6s, no matter how many times you try.

iFixYouri offers home button repair for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, and the iPhone 5s.

More About Apple Touch ID

Touch ID, after a brief setup which involves repeated finger print scans, is another option to unlock your phone rather than a pin code. It also provides some integration with Apple digital media stores (iTunes, Apps, and iBookstore) Currently this feature is available on the iPhone 5S, 6 and 6 Plus, the iPad Air 2, the iPad Pro, the iPad Mini 4, the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus. On announcing the feature, Apple has stated that this fingerprint information is stored securely location on the Apple A7 (in iPhone 5S and iPad mini 3 (APL0698)), A8 (in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Mini 4), or A8X (in iPad Air 2) and A9X in iPad Pro chip rather than being stored in the cloud.

iPhone 6s Rear Camera Comparison vs. iPhone 6, 5s, 5, 4s, 3gs

For our iPhone 6s Rear Camera Comparison, we took the same photo (of some lovely little friends) with the same lighting from the same distance with several generations of iPhone (the 3gs, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, and the new iPhone 6s). Here’s how they came out – compare the results for yourself. Also, for a rundown of the comparative iPhone camera specs, scroll below the photos.

It is easy to notice the reduced vibrance and sharpness in the 3gs photo. There is a general noticeable increase in image quality as the generations progress, although it should be noted that the 4s, 5 and 5s share the same 8 megapixel camera. The iPhone 6s phone does really shine among the group, which, for me, seems to be most evident in the face of the troll.
