How Much Water Does it Take to Kill an iPhone 5? (Video)

Many of you have probably had the unfortunate experience of dropping your iPhone in water, or spilling something on or near your device. The iPhone is surprisingly resistant to water – but it still doesn’t take a great deal to kill of an iPhone 4 or 4S. So, how does the iPhone 5 hold up against watery doom?

Judging by a number of tests performed by AndroidAuthority (via CultofMac), including dowsing the iPhone 5 in hot coffee, it turns out that the iPhone 5 is remarkably water resistant! Check out the video below to see the full series of torture tests!
