If you accidentally drop the phone in water there’s a good chance that will kill it. The phone is water resistant, not water proof.


And it depends on who opened it. If it was Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider the phone will be resealed properly. But that means replacing the original seals, which lose their effectiveness once you open the phone.
