Can iPhones Swim?

by Traci Latoz

What’s with these gadget gurus who try to push their MP3 players and cell phones to the brink of death? Today I was searching for information on how to save a water damaged cell phone, and I ended up finding iPod Touch and iPhone videos with footage of people seriously abusing their electronics. In fact, there are so many of these videos out there, you would think that iPhones were made for SCUBA divers.

Check out this video of a guy who decides to drop his iPhone in a bucket of water. Do you suppose he just couldn’t help himself? I think it survived, but I still wouldn’t recommend trying this at home.

Here’s another one of a guy trying to drown an iPod Touch. Can you say voided warranty?

All this iPod and iPhone abuse is especially shocking when you consider this little blurb about a man who credits his survival after a fall into a frozen pond to the fact that his iPhone survived the ordeal and he was able to call for help. The moral here is- drown your iPhone today and you just might be sorry tomorrow.
