Is i drop my iphone 5s in water what will happen?

I'm always scared that I will drop my phone in water but some people say that it will be ok if I drop it in water and that it is partially waterproof? If i do drop it in water or a liquid what could i do and what will happen to my phone, will I need to pay for it to be fixed?

Luckily you've got the 5s, the s stands for waterproof.

As long as the water is clear it will be fine, the problem comes if you drop it into something coloured, because then apple thinks your trying to make a 5c without paying them a fortune and have built in a self destruct panel.

It will be damaged and most likely break. It isn't waterproof. The only waterproof phone there's right now is the Sony Xperia Z.

As long as you carry a microwave with you, because if you do drop in water quickly microwaving for 5 or 10 minutes may do the trick.

  • What to do when you drop your iPhone 5 in water? I'm going to keep it brief, I dropped my phone in the toilet before I peed and it got wet and I tried to see if it still worked and it did but the screen was laggy and it had lines and the appearance looked smeared. I've turned it off and submerged it in rice. What else can I do to suck moisture out?
  • My iPhone has water in it how can I get the water out? I got a little bit of water in it at my pool and it shutoff within a minute or so, it won't turn back on and I have had it in rice for over 10 hours.
  • Iphone water indicators not pink, still possible water damage? Hypothetically, if you got your iphone 4s wet, but the water indicators are not triggered at all, is it still possible the phone has water damage on the inside that apple would find if they took it apart?
  • I dropped my Iphone in water - no water damage showing on indicator? Here is the situation. I dropped my Iphone 5 in the toilet (I hadn't peed yet so all good there). Immediately switched it off, dried it and put it in a bag of rice. This was at about 6 p.m yesterday. This morning without turning it on I opened up the sim compartment to check the circle for water damage (checked online and apparently this is where to check for water damage). The indicator was white. It is back in the rice but I was wondering - when you think it will be ok to turn back on?
