Water Resistance
Compared with all previous iPhones, Apple says the iPhone XS and XS Max will get a boost on water resistance. The XS and XS Max will both come with a rating of IP68, which suggests the devices should withstand waters as deep as 5 feet for up to a half-hour. That's an improvement over the iPhone X, which has a rating of IP67--rated to survive depths of 3.3 feet for 30 minutes.
