Phones have been doing this for years. I regularly take my iPhone into the pool and into the ocean. I get that message for a few hours afterwards. Sometimes if I need to charge I will try to dry it out with a hairdryer.
- PretzelPirate 4y ago> into the ocean Do people take their phones into bodies of water? I still worry about mine getting wet when I bring it into the bathroom.
- gojomo 4y agoMany kiddos who grew up with very water-resistant electronics seem very casual about submerging their phones... while us oldies who feared a single drop getting into our stuff still worry.
- remote_phone 4y agoI’m in my 50s but I trust their certification plus I have Applecare! I get a little worried about the salt but I will just assume that apple care will fix anything that goes wrong, although it might have clauses against it. But the underwater photos and videos are fun!
- gojomo 4y agoFellow fiftysomething here who considers AppleCare, like other paid-extended-warranties, a racket. (If Apple, with all their data, think it's a net-profitable offer, I must be net-losing on the deal versus the default of self-insurance. Especially since I am a more-prudent-than-average device owner!)
- solardev 4y agoI like to go swimming with my phone to take pictures of fish and whatever scary things live at the bottom of alpine lakes... I wouldn't take it into saltwater though. That doesn't seem great for any exposed contacts... or anything, really, except fish and things that eat fish.
