at least some of the future models of the iPhone can be protected from water. It was revealed today thanks to another patent, an application for registration which was filed by Apple.

the patent describes a process of coating the internal components of the device special water-repellent substance using plasma spraying. The thickness of the waterproof layer will be from one to ten microns.

Unprotected connectors on the body will be protected with silicone plugs. This will allow the Corporation of Cupertino to protect their mobile phones without having to sacrifice design. Similar brackets also use water-resistant smartphones and tablets from other manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung.
