I knew what to do when an electronic device gets wet. I noticed about two minutes into swimming. Other times I remembered to take it out not this time. On August 1, 2017, I went swimming at a lake, forgetting that my phone was in my pocket. In 2017, iOS 9 is new enough to run the latest version of most apps, but old enough to run well on this older iPhone model. No, I decide when to replace the item I fully paid for with a newer one. (If this was sold as a refurbished phone in some third-party store, it would be a "grade B").īefore you tell me newer iPhones are so much better than my "old" 5S, I should point out mine is running iOS 9, because newer versions try to convince you your phone is inferior and you should get a new one (AKA "planned obsolescence"). I did drop it sometimes but it still held up well, and it has very few dents on the case. ![]() I put a glass screen protector on it, and I always keep it in a case when I'm outside (nothing too fancy or expensive, just something to prevent scratches). ![]() While it has seen very little use sometimes because I had other smartphones in between (my HTC One M7 and my OnePlus One), it has been my main phone since August 2016. To sum up: I can use it with one hand, it looks pretty, it does everything I want a smartphone to do (except for recording audio in stereo), and it's fast. ![]() I love my Apple iPhone 5S for reasons I explained in a video on YouTube. It completely stopped working 9 months later. The battery life was terrible, but it was still good enough to be my main smartphone for the rest of the year (2017). I turned it off, put it in a bowl of rice for 7 days, and it worked again (except the fingerprint reader was broken, it thought headphones were always plugged in, and the battery lasted shorter). TLDR: my iPhone 5S was submerged in water for two minutes.
