After a thorough investigation this afternoon I have come to the conclusion that the iPhone 5 apparently cannot take underwater pictures after all.
Late last night, after what seemed like a forever wait, I finally received in the mail my brand new iPhone 5! It's sleek design and slightly-longer-than-the-4 upgrade is EXACTLY what they said it would be, and I could not be happier with my purchase. Much like a kid on Christmas morning I spent the next several hours of the night testing out the phones newest features, and I have to tell you, it is even better than advertised, so you can imagine my anticipation of getting out to the river the following morning to really see how the new phone worked.
Eventually I made it to my bed and slept for maybe one hour before my new iphones alarm woke me, telling me excitedly that it was RIVER TIME! So i packed up my things: snorkel, tube, floaties, and iphone, and headed down the the water for an early morning photo shoot! It was a beautiful day already as the sun began to break through the new Autumn clouds over head, and the water was flowing and high from recent rain storms to the north so I knew that I was going to get some really great underwater shots with my new iPhone, I can't tell you how sure I was that this was going to work. So imagine my surprise when just two hours in the water with my iphone totally destroyed it somehow! None of the pictures saved, the screen went all black and the water seems to have just flowed right into the case and flooded the whole system, it's ridiculous! I don't mean to tell the people at Apple how to do their jobs but, I mean, this is lousy! And I almost feel like not buying anything Apple ever again if they don't get it together and make a phone that can take a little bit of water all up in it!
Really though, I feel almost bad telling the guys at work about how poorly the iphone 5 did in its first day underwater, they seemed so excited for me to try it out, but I'm going to have to! I reordered another phone so Hopefully this one will work a little bit better.
I think just to be sure I am going to test out the Under Tires Motor Vehicle Weighing Station app the guys told me about before I take it back to the river.
