According to AppleInsider, United States Patent and Trademark Office approved the patent application filed by Apple back in 2014. The patent, entitled "Electronic devices Apple's case with gates" describes a system of electrically controlled valves located above components such as speakers and microphones.
The patent states that mechanical valves are closed when current is applied when the mobile device sensors will record the presence of liquid and dirt. And in some cases, users will be able to activate the valves independently using voice commands or by pressing a special button on the screen.
