Is my iphone 5 waterproof?

This post is very tongue in cheek so please don't flame me.
I dropped my iphone 5 in the bath this morning.  I nearly saved it but no, and I ended up fishing about for it like a bar of soap.  It was at the bottom of the bath, fully submerged for at least four seconds.
I dried it with a towel and turned it off.  I then left it in the window drying for 8 hours.  Turned it back on and it is absolutely fine.
There are plenty of articles online that show that at the beginning of the year there was lots of speculation that the iPhone 5 would be treated in some way to make it waterproof.
I'm fairly sure that air pressure simply prevented water entering the phone so no harm done.
But who knows . . .

everything in the box is under same warrenty
not just apple products it's the general warrenty law

  • IPhone waterproof armband

    Hi,
    Is there a waterproof case with an armband available for the new iPhone 3G?
    Many thanks

    Try the Sporteer from PDO (www.pdostore.com)
    It's very durable and there is virtually no way the iPhone can fall out. I'm a serious mountain biker and runner and I've tried just about every armband out these and this one is one of the best.

  • Why dont apple make its product waterproof this would be amazing

    I am telling apple to do the iphone and the ipad water proof this would be an amazing thing and it will higher its profit double the price?

    Making all iPads and iPhones waterproof would significantly increase the size, weight and cost of the device for a feature which few people would need. If you want your device to be waterproof, buy a waterproof case.
    Regards.

  • Where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing

    where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing. how much is it and where can i get it.FROM SINGAPORE

    If you take a look at the Lifeproof fre and it's features, I don't think you should need a tempered glass screen.  I have found this case to be so perfect that the touch ID works better than it did directly on the iPhone 6 Gorilla Glass.

  • Poor sound quality in IPhone 5 using a LifeProof waterproof case.

    I have an IPhone 5, using a LifeProof waterproof case.  Sound quality is very poor when in case, Lifeproof says to have Apple adjust the Foreground/Background settings - how can I do this?

    This is a common complaint. Get a different case.

  • IPhone 5 waterproof case, otterbox preserver or lifeproof fre? Thanks.

    I heard otterbox is the best but it is too bulky and not compatible with photojojo magnetic ring. Thinking to choose lifeproof but I read some review said it is not completely waterproof and not strong enough to absorb impact. So I would like ask for opinions who has used these 2 casing before. Thanks a lot !!

    LifeProof Fre is the way to go! I've had mine for about a year now and haven't had any issues. I like the way it fits my iPhone 5 and the way it feels in my hand. I definitely recommend Lifeproof!

  • Is the noise cancellation mic on my iphone 5s waterproof?

    Is the noise cancellation mic on my iphone 5s waterproof? or can  water enter my iphone through it? and how else can moisture enter my iphone, coz it's really humid over here. Are there any other openings i should be worried about?

    No. There is nothing in an iPhone that's waterproof. If you wish to waterproof it, then buy a case that makes it close to or completely waterproof.
    Try not to exceed these conditions:
    Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
    Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet (3000 m)

  • Can you really use EverWet waterproofing spray with iPhone & laptops?

    Does anyone know if you can safely use the new "EverWet" spray to waterproof an iPhone, laptop, etc.? (http://www.neverwet.com/)
    Demo videos show an iPhone treated w/ this spray, fully functional while submerged in water—but how is this possible, without destroying the ports, and/or overheating the device? See one demo here: http://bit.ly/15eBufn
    EverWet is now sold in Home Depots as of 2012 - but considering the incredible application possibilities, I'm curious why I haven't heard more about it—and how it wuold be possible to use w/ a laptop, without destroying the ports / functionality.
    Can anyone help with this?

    its NOT possible, Im familiar with that nanotechnology hydrophobic spray,..its good for boots, gloves, and exterior coatings on NON electronic devices.  There is nothing on earth that is going to protect your AIR computer from water, especially submerged, (except maybe a giant industrial ziplock as used by the Army to protect electronics in the field)
    if such spray made it to the micro resistors etc etc in the logic board and bridged an electrical gap even with the machine OFF (much less on), it would fry your computer.
    MACS already have non porous metal casings, and NOTHING on earth is going to protect a LOT of water seeping thru the keyboard slots onto the motherboard,....NOTHING.
    Dont even think of using that stuff on your iphone or laptop

  • Help is the iPhone 5 Waterproof and shockproof

    Guys, is the iPhone 5 waterproof and is it shockproof planning going swimming with it.

    What do you mean "going swimming with it"? Do you plan to dunk it in the water?. If you get it wet and it fails, you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.

  • IPhone 5c Waterproof Cases

    So far all i can find out for the iphone 5c that is waterproof is the Lifeproof Fre and Nuud. However their $80-90 price points are more than what I paid for the phone itself. I can't find any other cases that are waterproof, and preferably cheap, for the 5c. Does anyone know of or have any?

    I have a HESGI case I found on Amazon that is fully submergible in 6.6 ft of water for up to 30 minutes. Fortunately I haven't needed to test it but it's only $20 so better safe than sorry!

  • Waterproof iPhone Case Evolution - OtterBox, LifeProof, now Liquipel?

    Has anybody had  their phone undergo the Liquipel process? When you read the fine print they actually say to stop using your phone after it's exposed to water, despite the nano waterproof coating.
    I currently advocate the LifeProof case for water proofness and durability. Previously I used the Otter Box defender and enjoyed wearing a tire tread on my belt, whilst having my pockets pulled out of my pants sticking to the Otter Box.

    http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iPhone_4_warranty.pdf
    States that the warranty does not apply to protective coatings, like Liquipel.
    Usually the warranty is for techincal problems, like getting an unfixable error, jammed buttons, etc.

  • Is the iphone 4s somewhat waterproof?

    My new IPhone 4s fell in the bath tub, for approximately 3 seconds. Once I took it out of the water, I shook it off, getting rid of the water inside. I then pushed down the home button to see if it worked. Everything was perfectly fine. Will my iPhone have problems in the future?

    Rule number one for went electronics - Immediately turn it off! Do not check to see if it still works.
    If it does stop working because of this, be prepared to buy a new one because the interior is loaded with wetness detecting stickers and Apple will know that you voided your warranty by getting it wet.
