iPhone is water resistant. It is NOT waterproof and if you went into sea water for two minutes with your phone you have destroyed your phone. Water damage is NOT covered. The phone will need to be replaced completely. Liquid damage CANNOT be repaired. And sea water is highly corrosive.


The reference to water depth you refer is lab controlled situations and in the real world you could not in any possibly meet the same conditions. Sorry, but your phone is destroyed.


NEVER submerge any phone in water. EVER.
