iPhone 7: IP67 protection class - what does that mean?

One of the new features of the iPhone 7 is the waterproof case. It is certified according to IP67.

• A protection class basically indicates the suitability of electronic devices in any area.
• The protection class labeled "IP" stands for protection against the ingress of foreign bodies.
• The "6" means that the iPhone is protected against dust.
• The second digit, in this case the "7" means that the iPhone is protected against water. So there is nothing to be said against temporary immersion of the device.
• The iPhone is just as waterproof as the first Apple Watch. In contrast to the second Apple Watch, you should not go swimming with the iPhone 7. Apple does not guarantee protection for this.
