I googled both terms and both are unrelated to a liquid sitting on a tight seal. Capillary action refers to liquids thorugh a "POROUS media". I don't think glass or metal fits that description. Second, the term meniscus refers to the shape of the liquid based on the media it is in, either being attracted to particles of the liquid or particles of the media it's in. Neither refers water seeping through glass or metal and into your phone. That being said, the iPhone can get wet. I'm sure everyone has seen the 'iphone in the pool', I've used mine in the rain, I've gotten the glass and the back on my 3g, and 3gs wet. I've used it with wet hands, etc. As long as you aren't getting water into the open holes, I'm going to say the 3g and 3gs phones are sealed pretty well, as are most apple products. The moisture detection pads are inside the headphone jack, inside the speaker and mic area, inside the sim area, and INSIDE the phone in general. Getting the outside wet does not mean the inside is going to be wet. Putting water on your lens does NOT mean your moisture detection pads will be triggered. Hey Jason, I still believe his comment.

I’ll leave reading the post as an exercise for our readers, but let it suffice to say that you can do a lot of really cool macro shots with an iPhone by putting a small drop of water onto the lens. The Apple Press also provides a link to Amazon for an inexpensive magnifier that can fit in your wallet, perfect for those who are a bit queasy about putting even a drop of agua on their iPhones.

Regarding the risk of water damage, while I'm sure the lens isn't gasket-tight, if you put the drop on quickly and immediately face the drop downward, I expect gravity will do its job to keep the phone's innards dry enough. What fun! Using my 1G iPhone and a drop of water, I got extreme close-ups of Lincoln sitting in his memorial on the back of a penny as well as just the chest and head of the eagle on a quarter. Regarding the risk of water damage, while I’m sure the lens isn’t gasket-tight, if you put the drop on quickly and immediately face the drop downward, I expect gravity will do its job to keep the phone’s innards dry enough.

What fun!

Water and iPhones do not mix! When I was trying to buy a used 3G from eBay I was shocked at the number of water damaged iPhones. Some of them were simply splashed with water. It appears that Apple has not designed any kind of water resistance into their phones. There is even a water dot which changes color when exposed to moisture. Even having the phone in a humid environment is enough to change the color of the water dot. When that dot changes color your phone's warranty becomes void. The camera is poking out of a small hole in the back of the case. It is a tight fit but if you do the water drop lens trick a few times, it will seep into the electronics and then it is all over. The contacts on modern ships are so small that even a tiny amount of water can short them out. Here is a list of iPhones for sale on eBay with water damage: http://tinyurl.com/qszbws The water drop is a terrible suggestion. Water and iPhones do not mix!
