On the social network Reddit, an iPhone 15 Pro user claims to have recovered his mobilein good working order after twenty-two hours spent underwater. For comparison, let us remember that the official technical sheet of this mobile mentions waterproofing for only thirty minutes. That is forty-four times less, but up to six meters deep, on the other hand.
