It got its minimalistic looks in collaboration with Audi Design and the top plate and control dials are all aluminum-based. In addition, the entire body of the camera has no space for outside elements to creep in.

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.
