I would not take it into the water at all, and definitely not salty seawater!

"were tested under controlled laboratory conditions:" which means not real-life conditions such as breaking waves, etc.


"To prevent liquid damage, avoid these:


  • Swimming or bathing with your iPhone
  • Exposing your iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet
  • skiing, and so on
  • Using your iPhone in a sauna or steam room
  • Intentionally submerging your iPhone in water
