@Miguel TG I mean, Apple products may be reliable but they've certainly never been cheap exactly

[@jorisvandenbosch6512]

@@hayden.A0 it all has to do with how much charge the battery has, unpowered electronics are not damaged by water and are fully functional if you let them dry. If the battery was completely dead an hour after it has been in the water it doesn't matter if it is underwater for another day or months. With the only exception that things may begin to rust of course but that takes a while too

[@dorriedragon]

Gaming York i never update any device from the update it comes with. ...unless you count the like two times ive accidentally and regretfully tapped "update now" because it pops up in the middle of me typing. which is awesome asf. Anyway, theres a reason to not update. everytime you update your device gets worse. for example. on my newest iphone (gotten February this year) it used to have really long lasting battery and not overheat fast and more, just a few days after i accidentally updated because of above stated reason, its battery started to deplete about 2x faster (even on battery saving mode) and it would overheat fast. it also wont recieve phone calls or messages as much as it should and used to. so in conclusion: dont update, lol

@@PhoneRepairGuru yeah man 💯. I actually put it near the sink when my mum was washing the dishes a few years back and because of the lack of water resistance, the phone got water in it. My mum, not knowing anything about tech, put it in rice and it’s still works, but there are “water stains” in the LCD display. Sadly, I got it as my first hand me down smartphone, so it’s sad about how slow it is. But, I am still feeling blessed to have this much at least, because many people are not fortunate to have this much. My mum will upgrade to the new iPhone and give me her amazing iPhone XS Max. She takes very good care of it and it is completely scratch and crack free. Definitely very stoked about it!! And keep up the awesome work man, I hope you reach 2 mill by the end of the year.
