Group drown their iPhones in water at groove

A video posted on TikTok by @stress.wase_vaal shows young women and men partying it up at a club as they place their iPhones inside an ice bucket filled with ice water and bottles of alcohol.

They intentionally submerge their devices inside the water and take them out to show that the phones are still fully functional as they cheer and dance up a storm.

iPhone water resistance

According to CNet, Apple's iPhone 12 is water-resistant, so it should be totally fine if you accidentally drop it in the pool or it gets splashed with liquid.

According to Apple's support page, you shouldn't intentionally submerge or swim with your iPhone or take it to extreme temperatures.
