- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoShouldn't a $1000 phone be waterproof?
- burntrelish1273 9y ago<sarcasm because="Poe's law"> Owners of $1000 phones don't go near water or need cases. They never make mistakes. </sarcasm>
- coldtea 9y agoIsn't this behind the point? For one, still not all $1000 phones are waterproof, and second, this can apply to all kind of other devices, like laptops, who can't be or is very difficult to make waterproof without major compromises (e.g. heat dissipation).
- nsomaru 9y agoAnecdote: dropped an iPhone 6 to the bottom of a pool. Failed spectacularly bringing it back up a few times. Total about 2-3 minutes submerged at around 2m. Put the phone in a rice bag for 2 days, charged and it's working fine :)
- ams6110 9y agoI've seen the rice treatment work also, but chances for success are reportedly better if you do not try to turn the device on first.
