Apple iPhone assembler Wistron has reportedly confirmed that the new 5.5-inch iPhone launching later this year will be waterproof and support wireless charging, reports Nikkei.

"Assembly process for the previous generations of [iPhones] have not changed much, though new features like waterproof and wireless charging now require some different testing, and waterproof function will alter the assembly process a bit," CEO Robert Hwang told reporters after the company's annual shareholder meeting Wednesday.

Wistron is said to be splitting orders for the upcoming 5.5-inch 'iPhone 7s Plus' with Foxconn.


Apple is also also expected to unveil a new 4.7-inch iPhone 7s and a 5.8-inch iPhone 8. Alleged front and rear covers for all three devices recently leaked. You can check those out here.

Morons... waterproof means water can't damage the phone. It's water resistant.
