An AirTag is a small yet powerful device that can track your valuables. Since you can use them to track your keys, favorite luggage, or your beloved pets wherever they go, you'll also want to know if AirTags are waterproof. Or maybe you've accidentally dropped this smart tracker in the laundry and now you're stressed about how to dry them. This article dives into the AirTag's water resistance and what to do if yours gets wet. Let's explore!
AirTags water test and more
No, AirTags are not waterproof, but they are waterproof. It's worth knowing that no Apple product, be it an iPhone or Apple Watch, is completely waterproof. They are all water resistant devices. When it comes to AirTags, they have an IP67 rating, which is the same as the waterproof rating of the iPhone SE. With this rating, an AirTag is highly resistant to water damage.
An IP67 rating is sufficient for daily use where exposure to water is possible. So your AirTag can tolerate spills, splashes and other water damage. However, since an AirTag is not completely waterproof, it can only handle short bursts of water. So you need to think twice before swimming with an AirTag or taking it to regular showers.
The IP rating indicates the level of protection an electronic device offers. It contains two different parts – the word IP followed by two numbers. The first number indicates protection against solid foreign objects and is rated on a scale from 0 (no dust protection) to 6 (highest protection). The second number indicates protection against liquids and scales from 0 (no water protection) to 9 (highest protection). With the IP67 classification, an AirTag has good water resistance.
