Can you take a iphone x into the sea to film underwater (the shallow part)?

Can you take a iphone x into the sea to film underwater (the shallow part)?

Not for long. It's not really rated for anything but accidental splashes

To an extent, though I personally wouldn't.

Absolutely not.

The water resistance rating is for fresh water only, not salt water which is highly corrosive to all electronics. Also, when salt water evaporates, salt crystals form and they have a tendency to push moisture seals apart, destroying the water resistance of the product.

The iPhone X is also not intended to be used as an underwater camera.

Why risk a $1000 phone when you can spend far less on a far better camera specifically designed for use below water, including undersea use?

I took a great photo of an octopus on a Ricoh WG-4, five metres down in the Mediterranean Sea. No iPhone could do even half that depth in seawater without an expensive underwater housing. But my camera cost me just $250 and is now about four years old and has taken thousands of undersea photos. (I wanted to post the photo here, but even if I resize it, Y! A isn't allowing me to do so).

If the iPhone is in some sort of waterproof housing/case/bag, sure. Auto-focus may be problematic if the bag version is attempted.

  • Why can't I take an underwater picture with my iPhone 4s? I bought the life proof case and it says you can't take underwater pictures, but when i touch the screen it does't do anything. I have to be above water if I want to open the lock screen It will not let me touch the screen under water. Why? I bought it yesterday along with the phone and have taken it in the water twice.
  • Why are basic white girls so superficial and shallow? For those who are not familiar with the stereotype of a "basic white girl": a white girl who wears ugg boots, plays with her iPhone all day, takes lots of self-shots that she posts on Facebook every day and drinks spiced lattes at Starbucks with her friends every Friday. Basic white girls like that only date popular tall white guys who are "really hot". Why do they only care about how tall, white, hot and popular a guy is?
  • What underwater iPhone case should I get so I can take pictures underwater? I have an iPhone 5c and I would like to take it underwater to take pictures this summer in a pool. Any cases out there that I can get made for this?
  • My Iphone 4 fell in the sea? So, my Iphone 4 fell in the sea and was in it for like 5-10 minutes until i noticed that, are there any chances of it being fixed? :/
