The new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus have a lot of new features to boast including the new Force Touch and an updated iOS9. But as YouTube user Zach Straley shows on his video, these new phones might be water-resistant all along. Check out the attached video.

Both phones were submerged under fresh water for a total of 1 hour and everything seemed to be working fine after the test. Although these handsets could secretly be water-resistant, we still wouldn’t recommend doing this on your brand new iPhones. It’s just reassuring to know that if an accident happens and your iPhone falls on water or gets wet under the rain, it could still survive like nothing happened.

Nexus 6 has a ‘hidden’ feature not seen on its specs list

Google’s homepage for the new Motorola Nexus 6 details its specs and lists down its notable features, but there might be something that they have missed – mentioning that the latest Nexus phone is water-resistant as well.

The official landing page for the Nexus 6 missed this rather important feature of the device. Thankfully, Motorola’s page included this information. According to their site, the Nexus 6 can withstand splashes of water just like the Moto X. Do take note that it’s just safe from splashes and cannot go for a full submersion like the Xperia Z3 (see our hands-on here). If you would check the website under the Water Resistant category, Motorola listed it down as “Yes” with no IP certification.

Google’s official site might not have found this info to be essential to its users thus eliminating the need to list it down. Although not fully waterproof, it’s still good to know that minor contact with water is repelled by the Nexus 6.
