Just a clarification from the article so Apple fanboys don't get excited :

Interestingly, the phone was in a protective case that protected it from the harsh conditions of being on the ocean floor for two days. While the Apple iPhone 7 is itself IP67 water resistant, the protective case is what saved the phone from damage in this case.

Apple iPhone X Plus May Come With iPad-Like Landscape Mode, iOS 12 Beta Hints

As per a report in Brazilian site iHelpBR, the recent beta version of iOS 12 and XCode suggest that the 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus will come with a landscape mode. Apple on Tuesday released the fifth developer beta of iOS 12 for compatible iPhone and iPad models. The folks at iHelpBR forced the iOS Simulator tool to run at a resolution of 1242x2688 pixels with 458ppi and found that several native apps have been adapted from portrait mode to landscape mode. Stock apps such as Calendar, Contacts, and Messages were found to be optimised for a broader landscape layout. This hints at Apple's plans to treat the iPhone X Plus as it does with the other large-display products, taking full advantage of a larger display. It also reaffirms previously rumoured 1242x2688 resolution.

iPhone sucks after 11.4.1 update. Drastic battery discharge. Opted to replace the battery with new for my 6s. But with this kind of battery back up Apple can’t survive for long.

 

[Kentkits]

Agree. My iPhone 7 is draining battery faster than the previous update. I was reluntant to update for long till it popped up every morning forcing me to update to 11.4.1. My battery performance also seems reduced from 98% to 94% in just 2 months.
