Latest iPhone 8 Leaks confirm “Essential” Water Resistance feature upgrade

Apple hasn't confirmed any news regarding iPhone 8 but its global supplier chains did reveal some new upgrades. Sources reveal that iPhone 8 will have Water Resistance feature upgrades surpassing the iPhone 7 one.

Korea Herald in its blog confirmed from its multiple sources 2017 iPhones will have the IP69 water and dust resistance and it's currently expected to be available in both iPhone 7S and iPhone 8. They can withstand full submersion up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.

Essential and useful upgrade since iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus can live up to 1 meter submerged in water with the current IP67 rating.

Revolutionizing the Apple iPhone 2017 (whatever name it might get) adding a Forged Steel Chassis, OLED display, and increasing the dimensions adds more value to the iPhone.

Main motive to remove the Headphone jack in the current versions was to add up a bit bigger battery and make phone wash resistant better than iPhone 6.

But Apple rival Samsung had kept the headphone jack in its flagship smartphone Galaxy S7 even though it had IP68 water resistant in it.

Whatever upgrades Apple makes it should take in mind of Samsung S8 leaked could overtake iPhone 8. Let's expect patiently who wins the best reinvention.
