![]() ![]() So I did the button combination to force it to power off: hold down the power and home buttons and immediately let them go when the screen turns off (otherwise it will reboot). I pressed the home button to try waking it up so I could turn it off. It was in sleep mode, so the screen was off, but the phone was still turned on. The first thing you must do is power it off, because if there's electric current going through it, it will always break. 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. ![]()
