Is sea water supposed to hurt an iphone 5S?

I was trying to take a pic of me and my friend underwater in the ocean and the screen did weird things, then went black. Does the salt in the water hurt it and will it work again after it dries out? If i use a hairdryer can that do the trick

:O you submerged an electronic in water?! Why on earth would you do that?! There are phone cases that are water proof and obviously you didn't have one. I seriously can't believe this is even a legit question, if so your iphone 5s is done! But to answer your question, yes sea water is bad for your iphone! Any kind of water is bad for an electronic!

It's going to cry out and writhe in pain, and say "I'm dying, how could you do this to me?" JEEZUS, inanimate objects DO NOT HAVE FEELINGS.

The phone is toast, done, spent, kaput. Ever think of buying a LIFEPROOF case for it? Cheapest insurance for a phone.

It's done. It's dead. It's effed.

  • Will transferring music with 'CopyTrans Manager' hurt my iPhone? I see its an alternative to iTunes. I hate using iTunes. CopyTrans Manager apparently lets you copy past music and videos onto the iPhone… Is it safe though? will my iPhone 5c identify it as a foreign intrusion and kill my iphone? Kinda like how it kills your iphone if you try to jailbreak it. any advice?
  • Why does charging an iPhone over night hurt it, and how can I help it? Okay. Does my battery die quickly because I charge it over night? And does it kinda mess it up? I've heard it does that. If so, then how and when do I charge my iPhone? How can I make it so my battery life lasts longer?
  • What can hurt your iPhone's performance? My girlfriend insists that if you unplug your iPhone or MacBook while its still charging and not at 100% yet, that it will hurt your iPhone or MacBook. Is this true? What are some other things that can hurt the performance?
  • 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? :/
