Apple at Work
A Smart Investment Apple products make sound financial sense for your business. Durable by design You count on your device day after day. So we design our products with durable materials, support them with ongoing operating system updates, and make them easy to get repaired if anything happens. Apple products are built to last. For example, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have a rating of IP68 for dust and water resistance under IEC standard 60529, which means the devices can withstand being submerged to a depth of 4 meters for up to 30 minutes. In our Reliability Testing Lab, we amplify real-world conditions to enhance the durability of our designs. We test the ability to withstand mechanical stresses, such as a sudden impact with a hard surface. In climate tests, we test our devices in extreme heat and cold, dry and humid conditions, and intense sun exposure. Our chemical sensitivity tests evaluate the ability of devices to stand up to accidental spills like coffee, soda, sunscreen, or ketchup. We often go beyond international standards, and sometimes even create our own. With these tests, we intentionally push our products beyond their limits so we can study what happens. We then use state-of-the-art equipment, such as CT scanners and electron microscopes, to thoroughly understand the impact to the microstructure. This information flows back to our designers and engineers to enable further durability improvements. We repeat this cycle through our product development process until our products meet our rigorous performance standards.
