IPX 7 vs 8: A Dive into Waterproof Ratings
So, when we're talking about water resistance, the IP 67 versus IPX 8 concept is super popular among folks who love devices and love the outside. The IPX rating system? That's a concept made by the International Electrotechnical Commission to tell us how well devices can keep water out. Alright, let's get into the details of these two classifications and see what they're all about.

An IP 67 rating indicates the gadget can withstand a brief immersion in the water. That's up to a one meter depth and for about 30 minutes.
For instance, if your phone falls into the sink or a pool, an IPX 7 phone is okay once it's dried off. It is ideal for devices used during activities like hiking, camping, and water sports.
Now, the IPX 8 rating is superior. This implies that the device can remain submerged for a longer duration than an IPX 7, as you can see.
So, an IPX 8 gadget can go down to two meters and stay there for a whole day. This makes it ideal for water-resistant gadgets such as cameras or scuba diving phones.
Let me share a story of a time I acted foolishly. During the last summer, I joined my friends on a camping expedition.
We believed it was wise to bring our phones along to capture photos. And guess what? One of my friends accidentally let his phone fall into a stream while we were hiking. He had an IPX 7 phone, so we retrieved it, dried it, and it worked perfectly. However, the other friend's IPX 8 phone stayed underwater longer and continued to work after we returned from the trip.
Did you know? It is reported that about a majority of individuals have dropped their phones in water at some point. Given how likely it is to drop your phone in water, selecting an appropriate IPX rating is super important.
Like the iPhone 11 Pro model, for example, with its IPX 8 class protection, it's an ideal choice if you're frequent exposure to water. Now, the iPhone 8 model is just IPX 7 classification, which is good, but it's not as durable as the 11 Pro.
Many individuals have praised the iPhone 11 Pro model for how well it prevents water damage. One person said, 'I've had my 11 Pro for for more than a year, and it has performed well after drops in water. That IPX 8 class protection is a big deal for me!' And the 11 Pro has even won numerous accolades for its stylish appearance and excellent water resistance.
