Apple AirTags: Understanding Their Water Resistance Capabilities

Apple's AirTags are water-resistant, not waterproof, with an IP67 rating. This means they can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. While this rating covers scenarios like rain or shallow puddles, it's important to note that real-world conditions like washing machines with hot water and detergent can still damage the device. Apple advises rinsing AirTags with tap water if exposed to liquids like juice or tea, and drying them thoroughly if they get wet. AI
